"The US government is summarily executing people on a weekly basis without telling the American people any of their names or presenting any proof of their guilt, for alleged crimes that do not carry the death penalty in the US."

So how it seems to work is:
Unconstitutional = Trump can do whatever he wants with no repercussions.
Constitutional = The same, except he also pays defense contractors millions of dollars to check the [x] "war crime is allowed" box before he does it.
Got that right? https://gizmodo.com/palantir-ceo-says-making-war-crimes-constitutional-would-be-good-for-business-2000695162
Ban Hiệu suất Chính phủ Mỹ (DOGE) khẳng định: văn phòng chưa bị xóa sổ, vẫn đang hoạt động bình thường. 🚫🗞️ #USGov #Government #FactCheck #TinCáC #BanHiệuSuất #DOGE #USA #TinMới #Vietnam #NewsVietnam

US Dept. of Energy (DoE) recently re-up'd a $625M investment to support the five National QIS Research Centers. These centers will now expand to include collaborations with over 50 academic institutions and 18 industry partners. The goal is to overcome key challenges in quantum computing, scale systems, and apply quantum technologies to real-world scientific problems.
Center renewals include: Brookhaven National Laboratory, Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, Argonne National Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory , and Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
Funds will be provided over the next five years, with an initial disbursement of $125M in Fiscal Year 2025 funding, contingent on congressional appropriations. https://www.energy.gov/articles/energy-department-announces-625-million-advance-next-phase-national-quantum-information #USDoE #Quantum #QuantumComputing #QuantumTechnologies #DepartmentofEnergy #USGov #QIS #Funding
In with a bang - out with a whimper. Status of DOGE? “That doesn’t exist,” Director of OPM stated.
Results achieved? A $220B INCREASE in federal spending this fiscal year, and DOGE generated some $21.7B in WASTE across the federal government in the first six months it existed.

This is now how the #US looks with the abhorrent face and language of #AmericanFascism (from the official #DHS #USgov account)
I know it hurts, but there won't be any #catharsis until democratic consciousness flushes down into oblivion those "leaders" who capitulated to #fascism, and chooses true leaders that can fight the good fight.
Am 13. November 2025 hat das US Department of State mitgeteilt, dass „Antifa Ost“ als „Transnational Terrorist Group” (SDGT – Specially Designated Global Terrorist Organisation) gelistet wurde.
Was das für rechtliche Auswirkungen haben kann, habe ich in einem kurzen Beitrag versucht zu erhellen.
Zusammengefasst: solange nur eine Organisation, selbst wenn es diese nicht geben sollte, gelistet ist, sind unmittelbare Folgen für Einzelpersonen nicht konkret zu befürchten. Sollten jedoch Personen namentlich gelistet werden, können die Folgen wirtschaftlich und persönlich erheblich sein.

I hope they do a better job on this one than they did with the "Sandwich Man" case! Or maybe file this under why did this take so long?

Call your Republican Senators.
They're the jerkwads who need to start caring about their out-of-sight constituents.
If federal Republicans don't start putting the American people's interests before the Party's ridiculously cruel takeover, then we won't have even the appearance of three-branch federal government that does anything to serve the country for much longer.

Tips from my imited experience on both sides of calls to and about gov:
• Call multiple times: the first is to learn how the office takes calls (immediate voicemail, real person, or a bot meant to discourage callers) and each time after is with a specific point.
• Explain what you want; refrain from mentioning what you don't want. Make your message as clear as you can manage to without threats.
• Before calling, choose an address or phone number of a public serving location like your USPS office or county health department if you don't have or you don't want to use your own. Some office require contact info to file a report.
• Avoid federal .gov domains when possible during the shutdown, because security might be lax.

#OpenAI preparing for the #AIbubble to burst and asking the #USgov for a bailout?
You bet.
Who knew the #AI #scam was going to end that way? #sarcasm . Only, the American public will once again bear the consequences of corporate greed, lies and #technofascism.
Why worry? After all, as Obama said the last time socialism for the rich but not for thee occurred, «the government got back "every dime used to rescue the banks"»
(Obama did not endorse Mamdani)
Are you fucking kidding me??!!
I thought this was some spoofed AI attempt at humor, but this is real, from the Dept. of Labor!! "Project Firewall"
Here is the American Dream... Everyone is, of course, white in all of the imagery for this campaign, and here we see the happy white family sitting in church -- demure, begloved housewife sitting in her place, watching her bonneted little girl adoringly before going back home to tend to the housework and get her husband's pipe and slippers ready, no doubt.
Apparently this actually is a real campaign - "Project Firewall." I knew that these backwards thinking nutcases wanted a return to the "traditional values" of the 50s -- rights for women and non-white men stamped out and medical technology pushed back 75 years by RFK Jr -- but I didn't know they LITERALLY wanted to go back to 1950s in all visible respects!
I guess I'm surprised to be surprised.

The U.S. Congressional Budget Office has confirmed a cybersecurity incident after a suspected foreign intrusion.
Officials say containment was swift, but the breach may have exposed legislative data and analyst communications.
Given recent U.S. government breaches tied to Silk Typhoon, how can agencies better protect low-classification but high-impact systems?

The TikTok fiasco continues! In spite of the URGENT national security concerns posed, and as demanded by law, the whole TikTok thing is a giant stinking pile of poo.
The TikTok divestiture law as passed April 24, 2024, and was originally set to take effect on January 19, 2025. We are now 16 months the law being passed and 9 months past the take effect date - and still no real progress. We continue to get smoke and mirrors.
It is highly unlikely the current iteration of the "deal" with its highly opaque algorithmic "licensing" arrangement will genuinely address the national security risks. A "licensing" arrangement means that China may keep control over the core algorithm making true verification of how user data is used impossible. https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/lessons-learned-from-the-tiktok-saga #TikTok #SocialMedia #Divest #China #USGov #Algorithms #ByteDance #NationalSecurity
Not to get too far into #uspol here because Mastodon is my happy place but...
I've followed government job postings for several years. What I've learned is that when there is a surge in the number of job postings for the same dept., soon after, decisions made are announced (e.g. #DHS posted officer jobs months in advance, then air traffic controllers).
Today: there are a lot of posted military entrance center jobs. I really hope the draft isn't going to be brought back.
>>At 7:23 a.m. on Tuesday, an individual wearing a “Chucky” mask was seen in the backseat of an unmarked vehicle leaving Terminal Island, a facility where ICE has regularly been documented staging from.
...
The other individuals inside of the vehicle were masked and in tactical gear, Phoebe says.
