I spoke to former Treasury and OMB officials, and they said Elon Musk accessing government payment systems could give him the power to selectively turn off payments. They described what this really means in very clarifying terms. See below:

A quick check on how the FAA began a pilot program during Trump’s first term to hire air traffic controllers with the conditions that he criticized yesterday.
🚨 Rep. Suozzi speaks out on Trump’s pardons of Jan 6ers who attacked police officers: Today, the Fraternal Order of Police came out and said that when President Trump pardoned people from January 6th that beat up cops, that's beyond the pale. It doesn't make any sense. And it doesn't make any sense to me either.
HERE IS WHY THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO SEE THE REPORT.
It's not Trump, it's about Kash Patel.
Patel may have lied to a federal grand jury when he said he was there when Trump declassified everything.
If released, the report might sink Patel's FBI nomination.

BREAKING: Marjorie Taylor Greene says if every member of Congress had to resign for doing what Matt Gaetz has been accused of, "Democrats would have a supermajority."
BREAKING: Democratic superstar congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez hilariously roasts MAGA lunatic Marjorie Taylor Greene after she's announced as part of Elons Musk's "DOGE" endeavor.
This has MAGA fuming...
"This is good, actually. She barely shows up and doesn’t do the reading," AOC posted on X in reaction to an article about MTG joining DOGE. "To borrow a phrase I saw elsewhere, it’s like giving someone an unplugged controller."
"Absolutely dying at those two now getting assigned the 'privilege' of 'working' with MTG. That is actually hilarious. Enjoy, fellas! Very prestigious post you have there," she added in a followup post.
Greene is set to lead a new House Oversight Committee Subcommittee tied to Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy’s new "Department of Government Efficiency" which will supposedly "eliminate government waste."
It's a fake department that will result in either nothing getting done — or a lot of people getting hurt. When billionaires like Musk talk about cutting government cuts, what it boils down to is gutting important programs and departments that help the American people.
That way, they have more money to shovel even more tax cuts to the super rich.
Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that DOGE will be a disaster — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.

NEW: NBC News has now obtained the police report providing graphic details about the 2017 sexual assault accusation against Pete Hegseth.
According to the report, the woman told the police that she ended up in Hegseth's Monterey, CA hotel room after he spoke at the conference in October 2017.
The woman, referred to throughout the report as Jane Doe, said Hegseth took her phone, blocked his hotel room door when she tried to leave, and sexually assaulted her, ejaculating on her stomach.
She said that her memory was hazy, and that she had drunk far more alcohol than usual throughout the day.
Hegseth has denied the accusations. https://t.co/tgqmDM35Ew
BREAKING: A 24 page police report details a woman’s horrifying account of being drugged and raped by Pete Hegseth. (Currently, Hegseth is Trump’s pick for secretary of defense.)
In 2017, a woman said she was sexually assaulted by the Fox host at a Republican women’s conference in Monterey, California. She sought help at a hospital and reported that she had been raped.
The female accuser believes she was drugged while socializing on the final night of the conference. In an unknown, unfamiliar hotel room, an intoxicated Hegseth “took her phone and blocked the door with his body when she tried to leave. She told police she said ‘no’ repeatedly. She said she was next on a bed or a couch and Hegseth was on top of her, with his dog tags hovering over her face. Hegseth, she said, ejaculated on her stomach. She said he then threw her a towel and asked if she was okay. She said she did not remember how she got back to her room that night.”

BREAKING NEWS!!! THIS IS DAMNING!!!
ABC News exclusively reports that the woman involved in the Justice Department investigation into sex trafficking allegations against Rep. Matt Gaetz sat for multiple days of testimony in front of the House Ethics Committee and testified that Gaetz had sex with her when she was a minor in high school at age 17.
The House Ethics Committee also subpoenaed Gaetz's former girlfriend for testimony and obtained a sworn written statement where she lists Gaetz as one of the attendees at a party in July 2017, where dugs were present and which was attended by the woman who Gaetz allegedly had sex with when she was a minor. Gaetz was already an elected member of Congress at the time.
The House ethics Committee also obtained written testimony from another woman who said that she was at a party in July of 2017 in Florida that Gaetz attended, which was also attended by the woman who was a minor at the time and where drugs, including cocaine, were present.
Another woman told the committee that she was paid by Gaetz for sex. Gaetz has long denied all of the allegations, but the committee subpoenaed the company Venmo and obtained records of some payments made by Gaetz.
RELEASE THE HOUSE ETHICS COMMITTEE REPORT ON GAETZ NOW.
Kevin McCarthy on Trumps choice for Attorney General, Matt Gaetz: “I'll give you the truth why I'm not speaker. It's because one person, a member of Congress, wanted me to stop an ethics complaint because he slept with a 17-year-old…”
Many of you are confused by Trump supporters “wanting to stay” our friends, partners, & relatives despite hating us, so I’ll explain.
It’s not about relationships. It’s about power. Social shunning would disempower them; they’re TERRIFIED of falling lower on the power hierarchy.
