@ReichlinMelnick FWIW, JAGs have long served as federal prosecutors (SAUSAs specifically).

[Woke Clausewitz @WokeClausewitz]

@JamesSurowiecki Doesn’t your read render the statute a nullity then in virtually all cases, since one could argue that ANY indictment that gets dismissed is void ab initio in the same way? The statute doesn’t distinguish indictments dismissed later for one legal reason versus another.

[Woke Clausewitz @WokeClausewitz]

@SethAbramson In short, legality of their “deployment” depends entirely on what they’re tasked with doing.

[Woke Clausewitz @WokeClausewitz]

@SethAbramson The answer is that the Marines will not be performing “law enforcement.” There are exceptions to Posse Comitatus that make certain support to law enforcement legal. See https://t.co/sb09iECffZ

@Jason Would be AMAZING if you guys got a handful of federal employees on the @theallinpod so they can explain to you how employee evaluation works in government. You could learn what really needs fixing, and that there are good managers out there already asking this of their teams.

[Woke Clausewitz @WokeClausewitz]

@Jason Like, why can’t DoD have a functional workflow management software solution across all branches and commands? Instead we just seem laser focused on things found on https://t.co/QJYOvwHWar that appear strange on their face. 🫨

[Woke Clausewitz @WokeClausewitz]

@Jason @jason what is it you see DOGE doing exactly other than apparently cancelling relatively small line items they don’t like? What I’m not seeing are efforts to actually make govt more efficient. Surely I’m missing something?

[Woke Clausewitz @WokeClausewitz]

@elonmusk That 8 months of pay is not funded beyond March 14th, so not sure how the headline is at all inaccurate…

[Woke Clausewitz @WokeClausewitz]

@Jason DOGE team needs to walk the dog to explain the “grift and fraud” they are barking about instead of pointing out line item spend that they just disagree with.

[Anthony Scaramucci @Scaramucci]

Keep in mind Hagan Scotten is a bonafide conservative who clerked for Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Kavanaugh after serving 3 combat tours in Iraq as U.S. Army Special Forces Officer, earning 2 Bronze Stars. We are in the era of fools and cowards, but he isn’t one of them.

[Woke Clausewitz @WokeClausewitz]

@elonmusk Technologist running the government discovers the concept of the nationwide injunction and separation of powers. Amazing times we live in.

[Woke Clausewitz @WokeClausewitz]

This.

[Mark Cuban @mcuban]

Any fraud they find is a crime against the USA. If you are going to accuse any one of a crime, you need to document it and prove it.

If it’s a crime. File charges. Do it now.

If you aren’t filing charges, what are you even doing ? What’s the point ? Fraud is against the law.

That’s just real world.

And if what they claim is fraud , is not , then that is a whole different shit storm

If it’s a program that @doge and @elonmusk don’t believe should exist. Fine. But shouldn’t the people who got the funding get a chance to defend themselves ? Isn’t that the American way ? Shit. Have them on a spaces to discuss it

. Trying to remake a bureaucracy isn’t easy or pretty. But it doesn’t have to be chaotic
All of this feels like there is no plan

The law of unintended consequences can get nasty if there isn’t a plan. And if there is a plan , why not show it ?
If you have nothing to hide. Hide Nothing

[Woke Clausewitz @WokeClausewitz]

@BillAckman @realDonaldTrump @elonmusk @DOGE No, it did not.

[Woke Clausewitz @WokeClausewitz]

@kpomerleau Indeed

[Woke Clausewitz @WokeClausewitz]

@Jason No, it is not right. Understand the data here. 8mm over a decade from USAID, 34mm over ALL fiscal years IN TOTAL from ALL agencies (first award was in 2015). If we aren’t being honest with this long-public data, we aren’t going to see good policy reform.

[Woke Clausewitz @WokeClausewitz]

@PeterSchiff You most certainly do not have this straight.

[Woke Clausewitz @WokeClausewitz]

Wait did Americans really not know about https://t.co/vcPL6lBEqk until this week?

[Woke Clausewitz @WokeClausewitz]

@Jason @chamath What we need to do is get beyond the line item (misleading) and see what the money really went out for (provides actual insight for reform). Isn’t that the point?

[Woke Clausewitz @WokeClausewitz]

@Jason Same idea for @chamath tweet earlier. As if 8b just went to Politico as part of a liberal scheme and wasn’t for magazine subscriptions over a decade. Do we need magazines? Maybe not! Is that spend part of something more devious? Most likely not.
