now theyre coming after defense spending even though I'm kind of ok with that, but theyre notoriously incompetent and not detail oriented so theyre probably going to fuck it up
drunk alcoholic dei hire with no fucking experience or qualifications
Trump’s Pentagon purge continues—this time with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordering an 8% budget cut every year for the next five years, slashing hundreds of billions in defense spending while exempting Trump’s pet projects, like the border operations, nuclear weapons, and his "Iron Dome for America." The NSA has already handed over a list of thousands of Defense Department employees set to be fired, part of Elon Musk’s ongoing bureaucratic bloodbath at the DOGE Service. Meanwhile, Trump’s budget priorities snub U.S. European Command, signaling less support for Ukraine and more NATO tantrums, while Wall Street defense stocks are already tanking. But sure, let’s believe this is about "strengthening the military"—right after Trump blows up Pentagon funding like it’s a casino bankruptcy.

now theyre coming for the military - dod is on the chopping block
the pentagon
The Trump administration, with Elon Musk’s DOGE team in tow, is purging probationary employees at the Pentagon, with mass firings expected this week. The Defense Department, which oversees national security, is now at the mercy of Musk’s cost-cutting brigade, which has already axed thousands across other federal agencies. The best part? Nobody actually knows who’s safe. Even nuclear defense programs briefly got caught in the crossfire before someone realized maybe cutting those roles was a bad idea. The chaos is so bad that U.S. Cyber Command staffers say it feels intentional—but don’t worry, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth assures us Musk is just a "great patriot" helping push the "America First" agenda… while also raking in billions in defense contracts. What could go wrong?

dickhead continues his firing spree, faa edition
air traffic control tower
Imagine thinking you're stopping a terrorist attack but actually just attempting to murder two Jewish tourists instead. That's exactly what happened in Miami Beach, where Mordechai Brafman decided to fire 17 rounds into a car because he thought the passengers were Palestinian. Turns out, they were Israeli Jews, and they initially assumed they were being targeted in an antisemitic attack. One victim was shot in the shoulder, the other was grazed—but neither was killed, despite Brafman’s Rambo audition. Now he's facing attempted murder charges, and Muslim advocacy groups are pushing for hate crime enhancements. Wild twist: a year ago, this guy was calling for "more unity and less conflict." Guess he meant after he got done emptying a clip into innocent people.

musks tweenage minions seek to get access to your taxpayer data
the irs
Elon Musk’s DOGE wants access to the IRS’s most sensitive database, which contains detailed financial records of every taxpayer, business, and nonprofit in the country—because clearly, nothing says “government efficiency” like unchecked access to your tax returns. Under pressure from the White House, the IRS is considering a deal to grant DOGE officials access to the Integrated Data Retrieval System (IDRS), which lets IRS employees view personal identification numbers, banking details, and even edit taxpayer records. IRS officials are deeply alarmed, as even commissioners don’t get this level of access—but a DOGE software engineer with no tax experience apparently should. The White House insists this is just about “eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse”, while experts warn it could let political appointees weaponize tax data—but don’t worry, they pinky-promise to delete it when they’re done.

f*ck the us credit standing I guess
the first lady looking like hes having a stroke
Trump is now floating the idea of defaulting on U.S. payments after Musk’s so-called “government efficiency” team allegedly found “irregularities” in Treasury data. No details, no evidence—just a vague suggestion that the U.S. might decide not to pay its bills based on whatever Musk and his hand-picked tech bros think they’ve uncovered. Because why not turn the entire global financial system into a meme stock? Given that DOGE operatives were just given access to Treasury payment systems, this raises some very uncomfortable questions. But hey, what’s the worst that could happen? It’s only the foundation of the world economy.

south african nazis bitch ass lackey is a national security threat
this is the weak ass bitch getting into all of our shit
Meet Edward Coristine: fired from a cybersecurity firm for leaking info to competitors, bragged about having backdoor access to their systems, and now… has access to sensitive government data under Musk’s DOGE squad. What could go wrong? Coristine, a 19-year-old former intern at Neuralink, was booted from Path Network after an internal investigation found he leaked proprietary data. He later posted online that he could have wiped their servers—but, don’t worry, he totally didn’t. Now, he’s helping Musk’s government hit squad replace federal employees with AI and analyze massive datasets on government personnel. Meanwhile, Senator Ron Wyden is sounding the alarm on the DOGE team’s complete lack of vetting, warning that these guys "have no business anywhere close to sensitive information." But hey, Trump signed an executive order fast-tracking their security clearances, so what could possibly go wrong?

cia gives the world a list of new hires by sending an email over unsecured wire
here we see a neck tie under extreme duress, if you listen closely you can hear it screaming out in pain "please get this tub of orange fat off of me!"
In a move that defies any semblance of intelligence, the CIA—yes, the Central Intelligence Agency—decided to comply with President Trump's executive order to downsize the federal workforce by emailing the White House an unclassified list of all employees hired in the last two years. Because nothing says "national security" like handing over sensitive personnel information through unsecured channels. This list, mind you, includes new analysts and trainees preparing for undercover operations. But hey, who cares about protecting the identities of those who risk their lives for national security? Let's just toss their names into an unclassified email and hope for the best. Former CIA officials are rightly calling this a "counterintelligence disaster." But in the current administration, where reckless incompetence is the order of the day, should we really be surprised? Remember when these hypocritical bitches castigated hillary for her use of unsecured email? RULES FOR THEE BUT NOT FOR ME, NATIONAL SECURITY CAN GET FUCKED

fathead shakes down zelenskyy again
gravity is not kind to his face
cheetolini is now treating U.S. support for Ukraine like a mob shakedown, demanding access to the country’s rare earth minerals in exchange for continued aid. Because why just help an ally fighting off an invasion when you can turn it into a resource grab? He claims Ukraine is ‘willing to do it,’ but Zelenskyy is making it clear that any backroom deals without Ukraine’s involvement are ‘dangerous.’ Meanwhile, Trump is still pretending he has some secret plan to magically end the war—because nothing says ‘stable genius’ like leveraging a humanitarian crisis for a mining deal. Emboldened by the meek GOP bitches in congress failing to impeach him last time, he's shaking down zelenskyy again. what an embarrassment

jabba the trump pulls us from un human rights council
what a fat fucking head
the great gasbag is once again yanking the U.S. out of the UN Human Rights Council because nothing says 'global leadership' like storming off when things get uncomfortable. He’s also cutting funding to the UN agency providing relief to Palestinians—because apparently, punishing starving civilians is just good policy now. All of this conveniently timed for Netanyahu’s White House visit, because why just cater to right-wing extremists at home when you can do it abroad too?

paper skinned whiny b*tch billionaire Takes Over Government HR, Channels Twitter Layoff Energy
nazi sympathizer just looking stupid
Elon Musk has apparently decided that running Twitter into the ground wasn’t enough—now he’s applying the same chaos to the federal workforce. A new report details how Musk and his allies have “taken control” of the Office of Personnel Management, skipping key officials to blast out a mass email offering buyouts to 2.3 million federal employees. The email, titled “Fork in the Road,” mirrors the one Musk sent before gutting Twitter, which should be a comforting sign for government workers everywhere. Normally, the OPM—an independent, nonpartisan agency—would be involved in something this massive, but not under Musk’s watch. Instead, his handpicked allies, including ex-SpaceX and Twitter cronies, are now running the show. Musk’s takeover of the federal workforce is just another step in his growing influence over Trump’s administration, where he’s already been handed control of the newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE, because of course). Originally meant to be an advisory role, Musk has turned it into his own personal demolition project, reshaping the federal government in Trump’s image. Meanwhile, government employees are understandably wary of the buyout offer, given Musk’s stellar track record of not paying severance and getting sued by former employees. The proposal promises salaries through September 30 with no requirement to return to work—but much like Musk’s promises at Twitter, no one’s really sure if it will hold up. In the end, it looks like Musk is just doing what he does best: gutting institutions, dodging accountability, and making sure the people actually doing the work are the ones who suffer.

narcissist billionaire and his lackeys sieze control of government systems
gsa building
Elon Musk’s fan club has infiltrated the General Services Administration, because apparently, running Twitter into the ground wasn’t enough. Armed with White House security credentials, these ex-interns and loyal Musk minions are now tinkering with federal infrastructure—because who wouldn’t trust them with government operations? Their grand plan? Slashing budgets, shrinking real estate, and sprinkling in some AI, because nothing says "efficient governance" like trusting the guy who broke Twitter to streamline the feds. Meanwhile, actual GSA employees are left wondering if they now work for the U.S. government or just another Musk side project.

frump administration dismisses cyber safety review board members
usdhs computers, will likely sit idle now after departments are gutted by an incompetent old man
the frump administration has terminated all members of the Cyber Safety Review Board (CSRB), a body established to analyze significant cyber incidents and enhance national security. Critics argue that this decision undermines efforts to strengthen the nation's cyber defenses, especially amid escalating cyber threats from state-sponsored actors. The dismissal of the CSRB members has been described as "horribly shortsighted," potentially leaving the country more vulnerable to future cyberattacks. I guess if the mango mussolini doesn't understand it it's just not important.

DHS Drops advisory committees
In a move that clearly exemplifies the Trump administration's lack technological understanding or concern for the security of the United States, the Department of Homeland Security has decided to remove all of its advisory committees. This decision comes after a series of high-profile breaches and hacks that have exposed sensitive information and put the nation's security at risk.
