Thanks for the link, PH. Great read.
Ironically, Trump NEEDs the DOJ, FBI and the Court System. Marcy Wheeler at EmptyWheel.

One Big Danger Giving Musk's Team Access to the Code
TL:DR; They will break the code. It will be bad.
Maybe/Probably. I think the primary purpose is data mining. The breakage of the government, science, services, etc, THAT is intentional.
Musk in his narcissistic hubris is pursuing control & power. He has a staff of hackers and programmers anserable to him, and him alone. I'm sure he intends to download entire datasets and run them through AI.
Always happy to read your substack when it is on a topic for which you have expert knowledge. Software and code is one of those topics.
Have you seen any efforts to make shadow or mirrored websites that preserve the precious acquired knowledge, such as what climate scientists did with the EPA climate website during Trump 1.0?

stories of grabbing data are out there. One I saw is
Daily Kos: Another Federal Website Archive Indexed: FDA.Gov
that lists several efforts.

Universal Healthcare to Universal Basic Income BOLD
The mission ofLBPoS on thisforum has always been to demoralize, divide,and divide Democrats. Thatmissionis just much easier now.
History doesn't becessarily repeat itself, but sometimes it rhymes.
We are back in 1981 when the Dems organized a circular firing squad and decided that the way to win was to keep the faith with the hard lefties. We got Mondale and Dukakis and 12 years of ketchup as a vegetable, "Just Say No", massive tax cuts for rich people and corporation (after all, they are people too), Ollie North and Iran-Contra, and countless deaths as a result of the "gay plague" (HIV for those of you too young to remember the '80's). But we kept the faith.
I seriously doubt Trump's creative economic policies are going to help his base. My guess is that the opposite will happen. But, if he is successful in blaming the blowback on Biden-Harris, then he will receive a reprive. After all, the GOP was able to successfully convince people in this country for 12 years (1981 to 1993) that everythhing wrong was the fault of Jimmy Carter.
Similarly, his civil service reform is probably going to backfire when all the competent bureaucrats are replaced with MAGA trailer park trash who are still working on getting their GEDs. But again, he will find a way to blame this on Biden, or Harris, or Obama, or Hillary.
I am not dividing the Democrats. You're doing that to yourself.

Eventually, when you guys get tired of losing elections, you'll come to your senses.
Where the fuck are the leftist? I dont remember the leftist policies the Democrat party were passing? I remember when Biden gave large amounts of money to cops. I remember that we didnt magic up Universal Healthcare. Heck we didnt even discuss that as the destination for four years. So when you say leftist I think NO the Democrats were too moderate.
