DOGE Can Access Treasury; Colleges Must Obey King; More

By Michael Woyton

This and that from Bluesky Social.

Does anybody believe this administration really created a process to prevent improper private data disclosures much less trained Musk’s DOGErs?

"Judge Jeannette Vargas said in her ruling that she was clearing the way for the Elon Musk-backed team at the Treasury to access these systems because the Trump admin has created a process to train the DOGE staffers & prevent improper disclosures of private data." http://www.cnn.com/2025/05/27/p…

Hey, grifter, it’s either “$61 Billion” or “61 Billion Dollars.” And Canada is not considering the offer.

Remember how the US ambassador literally days ago said that Trump was done with the 51st state shit, lmao

I thought we really wanted people who could put the tiny screws into iPhones. She’s an idiot, but then so is the president.

And I don’t think I’m ever going to graduate!

I’m a bit confused by what “LGBTQ graduate majors” are

And speaking of tiny screws in iPhones, watch this explanation from Tim Cook, who knows what he is talking about.

The reason Apple manufactures in China is b/c of YEARS of investment in vocational training there. Any effort to bring these industries onshore STARTS WITH INVESTING IN OUR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM. And it will take YEARS.It’s not about tiny hands (so stupid).Here’s Apple CEO Tim Cook
