He sits motionless, like a spider in the center of its web, but that web has a thousand radiations, and he knows well every quiver of each of them.

I’d already dialed back my activity here, but it feels straight up unethical to keep providing free content for a guy who’s using his platform to broadcast white nationalist conspiracy theories. I’ll post links to outside writing here, but otherwise be on Threads & Bluesky.

Then 40 of the 435—the ones called the “Freedom Caucus”—went to the chief priests & asked, “What are you willing to give me if I deliver the budget over to you?” So they counted out for them 30 pieces of TrumpCoin. Hence, the Caucus watched for an opportunity to hand it over.

Noah and I talk about IRS sharing migrants' data with ICE; SCOTUS blocking an order to rehire fired workers; DOGE access to federal databases; and much more on the WatchCats daily roundup:

A little experiment we're trying at WatchCats: A short daily DOGE news roundup. Let us know if it's worth making it a regular feature. https://t.co/PDcU3UOmAK

On Episode 5 of @WatchCatsShow we speak with Minnesota AG @keithellison about state lawsuits challenging DOGE, and future fights on the horizon. https://t.co/olua2VvYCx

The chaos of Trump’s first month looks disturbingly coherent if you suppose he’s deliberately set on a collision course with the courts—and restructuring the federal bureaucracy to enable him to ignore them. https://t.co/DrffE37F3K

Just added the full transcript for Episode 4 of WatchCats: "Moving Fast & Breaking Things, at Twitter and the Federal Government"—for my fellow dinosaurs who prefer reading to listening. https://t.co/vCuY9jfT5W

[Julian Sanchez @normative]

Just released episode 4 of WatchCats, featuring @kateconger & @RMac18 of @nytimes on how DOGE is rerunning the Musk playbook for Twitter on the federal government. https://t.co/vCuY9jflgo

And if you missed it, the previous @WatchCatsShow episode features political scientist Henry Farrell on why control of comms & financial “chokepoints” is so important. https://t.co/K3WCrZQBAQ

[Julian Sanchez @normative]

New episode of the @WatchCatsShow podcast just dropped! This ep we talk to cybersecurity expert @Tarah Wheeler about why the infosec community is freaking out about DOGE’s invasion of federal IT systems. https://t.co/dWe8e9rBzK

@glennbeck @KirkWiebe Of course it’s not real. You’re hyping up an ancient tweet from a well known fake account that already had an outrage cycle six years ago. For God’s sake, think for ten seconds before broadcasting this stuff. Or at least do a Google search.

@goodtimesociety @DimiccoDiana I assume no haste on purpose? You can feed it to bring it over, but it won’t actually do anything for you.

Why Stormy Matters: Her testimony wasn't just a salacious sideshow; it's directly relevant to the legal charges Trump faces. https://t.co/HneBrVUzLn

This drives me nuts. I use a VPN routinely, but especially in sponsored ads on YouTube I see some pretty absurd claims made about what a VPN can actually do to protect you.

Bluesky now open to the public in case anyone else would prefer not to continue subsidizing the cultural relevance of Gab 2.0 with free labor.

I know you’re not supposed to care about tweets but yet again, look at the ratio on this. Literally thousands of replies pushing Great Replacement conspiracy thinking, some rationalizing violence. Prominent racists like Sailer amplifying and people thanking Elon for spreading it
