In addition to the incredible reporting on DOGE youth, @krebs has identified that “Big Balls” Edward Coristine was fired from a job for leaking intel about colleagues to competitors.
These competitors are hackers who specialize in all kind of malware and cyber attacks.
YOU CAN’T TREAT GOVERNMENT like a startup – moving fast and breaking things will break us. Elon Musk and DOGE are moving fast and breaking things that can’t afford to be broken.
Pandemics don’t start with announcements.
They start with quiet deletions, missing reports, and ‘no cause for concern’ statements.
Pay attention.
C.D.C. Posts, Then
Deletes, Data on Bird Flu
Spread Between Cats and People
The data, which appeared fleetingly online on Wednesday, confirmed transmission in two households.
Scientists called on the agency to release the full report.

USAID, currently being shut down by Elon Musk, purchases about $2 billion a year of rice,
wheat, lentils, and peas from American farmers.
SCOOP: The US Treasury claimed a DOGE’s Marco Elez didn’t have ‘write access,’ when he actually did. Sources tell WIRED that his ability to alter code controlling trillions in federal spending was rescinded, days after officials said it didn’t exist.

Anytime someone from WH Press Corps wants to inquire about the
@DOGE kids start here:
– Did these 6 kids fill out SF86 before beginning government work?
– Was FBI background check performed?
– Did POTUS unilaterally grant these kids Top Secret Clearance, if so when?
Up until 2 weeks ago what Elon is doing was called Espionage.
BREAKING: ONE OF ELON’S 23 YEAR OLD YES BOYS HACKED INTO THE ENERGY DEPARTMENT, WHICH CONTROLS US NUCLEAR WEAPONS INFORMATION
Trump energy secretary allowed 23-year-old DOGE rep to access IT systems over objections from general counsel

@elonmusk did not shut down USAID because it was “a ball of worms with no apple.”
He shut it down because USAID was investigating Starlink for shutting off satellites in Ukraine to assist Russia in its war.
Everything Musk ever does is to serve one person: himself
David Rothschild @DavMicRot
@elonmusk
thugs seized control of our most sensitive assets: PII data, classified info, levers of power (likely downloading key data & creating backdoors to maintain access). Erik Prince’s paramilitary barricading buildings from any basic oversight. This is about power over US.
