Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett was asked if she had a message for Elon Musk. What would she say to him?
And That's Putting It Way Too Nicely
The Reasons That The White House Will NOT Name Muskrat As The Head Of DOGE
The reasons that the White House will not NAME Muskrat as the head of DOGE:
-
- The head of an official government agency would have to be Senate approved
- To appropriate funds for an official government agency that agency's funding would have to be approved by Congress
- The WhiteHouse doesn't want Musk to be named in any lawsuits related to the firing of federal workers, the theft of sensitive, classified or confidential information because his ties to the Kremlin are even more obvious than Trump's

Finally Some Good News… Or At Least A Break In The Shitstorm
From Palmer Report:
Elon Musk's DOGE agency was in trouble from the start when its co-head Vivek Ramaswamy resigned on literally day one of the Trump administration, and then the agency's top lawyer also resigned in the first week. Since that time Musk has made one harmful, incompetent, and bizarre move after another.
Over the weekend he swung for the fences by demanding that every federal employee immediately respond to his email or be fired. When five Trump-appointed agency heads told Musk to shove it, Musk then claimed the email was merely "voluntary." I wrote that this marked a major inflection point, because Musk had just forfeited all the leverage he had. Who would take his threats seriously after he backed down like that?
Sure enough, Musk is now fully on the defensive. Twenty-one DOGE staffers resigned today in protest of Musk's agenda. These people all recently took jobs with DOGE, meaning they were on board with what DOGE initially said it was going to do. Yet just a month in, they're now so disgusted with what DOGE has turned into that they're quitting very loudly, announcing their disgust to the Associated Press.
Elon Musk responded to the mass resignations by calling them "fake news" on Twitter, which is how you know the resignations are a blow to him. At this point Musk is now stuck playing defense against the courts which keep ruling against him, the Trump-appointed agency heads who keep defying him, and his DOGE staffers who have already turned against him. How much longer before Trump decides Musk is more trouble than he's worth and cuts him loose?

Recruited?
From Greg Fallis:
Over the last couple of days I've seen a few social media posts and online articles repeating a claim made by Alnur Mussayev, the former head of Kazakhstan's National Security Committee. In the British tabloid The Mirror, Mussayev wrote: "In 1987, our directorate recruited Donald Trump under the pseudonym Krasnov."
I don't believe that. I simply don't believe Comrade Donald Trump was recruited to be a Russian intelligence agent. Part of my objection is semantic; recruitment involves getting folks to enlist–which literally means to sign your name on a list. I don't believe ANY intelligence services in ANY nation would consider enlisting Trump as an intelligence agent. He's not qualified to be an agent. He simply doesn't have the skills, the temperament, or intelligence to be an agent.

On the other hand, he's an ideal intelligence asset. An asset is just a person (or a thing) that can be used to gather or disseminate information that might be useful to an intelligence service. An ideal human intelligence asset is somebody who is 1) easily manipulated through intimidation or flattery, 2) gullible and/or ignorant, 3) vulnerable to various forms of kompromat, 4) impulsive, 5) immoral or amoral, and 6) has access to useful information and/or can serve as a conduit for misinformation/disinformation. As an intelligence asset, Comrade Trump is a whole protein–he contains all the essential ingredients.
I totally believe Trump has been a Russian intelligence asset for decades. I absolutely believe Trump has knowingly served Russian geo-political interests. It's indisputable that Russia engaged in coordinated disinformation campaigns to help get Trump elected, both in 2016 and in 2024. Back in 2021, The Guardian published a report stating the newspaper had possession of a Kremlin report of a 2016 meeting between Putin and his senior intelligence ministers outlining an intelligence operation to help Trump become POTUS. They felt electing Trump (who is described as an "impulsive, mentally unstable and unbalanced individual who suffers from an inferiority complex") would "definitely lead to the destabilisation of the US's sociopolitical system."
And hey, bingo. Look at us now. You know Vlad Putin is a happy boy.
Even before his 2016 election, Trump was promoting Russian interests. Remember, when candidate Trump's team established the GOP party platform for the 2016 election, the ONLY change they made was to weaken support for Ukraine's defense. The original GOP platform promised to "provide lethal defensive weapons to the Ukrainian government" in response to Russia's invasion of Crimea and their ongoing attempt to militarily annex the Donbas region. Trump's people had that strong anti-Russia language removed (at the insistence of Paul Manafort, who was Trump's campaign manager at the time AND who, according to the Mueller Report, made at least US$75 million for supporting Russian interests in Ukraine).
Now that he's been re-elected, Trump is more openly supporting Russia and Russian interests. He may not have actually been recruited as an agent back in the 1980s, but there's little doubt that he has now enlisted in the service of Russia.
