Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Yeah, Ed. Please prove he's a "public worker", because that would also prove that he is indeed the kingpin of DOGE, since otherwise he'd be private sector only.
Last I checked, the GOP is trying to gaslight us into thinking he somehow isn't the head of DOGE, so you'd be doing us a solid.
He's actually a modified Schrodinger's department head. He both is and isn't the head of the department until you observe it. If it's a Democrat or judge observing it seeking the "truth" of the matter then he isn't. If it's a Republican seeking to allow his meddling and allocation of federal funds to musk then he is.
They want all aspects of it.
None of these people are stupid enough to threaten high profile individuals with violence. This is purely political retribution.
Interesting that you think that would be stupid and not just suicidal.
I mean maybe, they haven't started killing political opponents just yet.
I mean yes. I agree. But also, we know they will. We all see it coming. Why wait?
This deserves a classic legal response.
Dear Mr Cox: Attached is a letter that we received on November 19, 1974. I feel that you should be aware that some asshole is signing your name to stupid letters.

Thanks for that. My laughter was barely maintained.
But his face is so punchable.
Ahh, so we're into the 'threatening the opposition for contrived threats' stage of the new fascist regime. A little bit earlier than I was expecting. But not a big surprise, considering the state of this speed run to democracy's end.
We all have motive. Opportunity is the hard part.
