PSA- News Views Needs Your Help:

We have lost a few people because of family and personal health related issues in the last several months. Y’all know this because some of you asked about certain people. Having said that, we cannot keep up in ‘real time’ because shit is hitting the fan very quickly.

If you would like to contribute to our endeavor and publish a few articles, let one of us know in the comment section; I suggest replying to PMS or me directly. The only requirement we have is the ability to coordinate and communicate as a team. We discuss what we post as a ‘stand alone’ thread and what can be placed in our daily blog—-which is getting longer because we cannot keep up. Let us know if you’re interested.

The Mythical, Northern CA Spigot:

Lieu: Trump then ordered the Army Corps of Engineers release over 2 billion gallons of water that almost flooded farmland.. this water was saved for the farmers for summer when they need it. So Trump wasted all this water that isn’t even reaching Southern California for a PR stunt

Yes—I agree. And be aware that this applies whether your reps are Republicans or Democrats.Every politician in Washington must be absolutely flooded with demands from citizens—of every stripe—demanding that the powers of Congress be restored and the current coup by unelected plutocrats be stopped.

When Trump says, "build a great system done by 2 or 3 companies, he's talking about privatizing. This is how he pays off his buddies. You'll see a lot more of this

We are going to see political investigations and prosecutions.The question is whether the public, the courts and the media will recognize and call them out as political. Will they stand up against them or will people stay silent and allow them to continue.

DOGE Treasury Agent Reportedly Resigns After Racist Posts: Here’s What To Know About Musk’s Agency

One of the workers at Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency most involved in the agency’s access to the Treasury Department’s payment system reportedly resigned Thursday after racist social media posts tied to him surfaced—the latest in the line of controversy and criticism surrounding DOGE.

Marko Elez, one of the two primary DOGE emissaries embedded in the Treasury Department, resigned from the Musk-led agency, the White House told The Wall Street Journal, after the publication uncovered Elez’s ties to a since-deleted X account with racist posts including calling for “eugenic immigration policy” and to “normalize Indian hate.”

The 25-year-old Elez previously worked for Musk’s X and SpaceX, according to the Journal.

Forbes contacted the White House for comment on Elez.

“Just for the record, I was racist before it was cool,” the DOGE staffer posted in July www.wsj.com/tech/doge-st…
