The dems, crippled by an attachment to donors who hate what democratic voters want are strategically incapable of anything besides bare-minimum maintenance of the empire and its alliances.
Not sure exactly what you are implying here.
However, the impression in the minds of many Americans is that the Dems are more concerned with undocumented immigrants and transexuals than blue-collar working class - the alleged core Democratic voter.
At the very first Democratic 2020 primary debate the first question was will you provide health care to undocumented immigrants. All 10 candidates raised their hands! My jaw dropped at that response. I know many working-class people who can't afford Health Care and the Dems want to provide health care to people who aren't even citizens or pay taxes. They also continue to be preoccupied if Trans needs are being met and if trans men can compete in sports. All was self-inflicted suicide.

Oh But Elon and Trump did a great job of convincing the low information citizen that fraud was rampant. Elon sitting in a round table with the Trump's cabinet was going on and on about toddlers getting $100K SBA loans and millions of people over 140 collecting Social Security. Pam Bondi acknowledging all the fraud and claim she is going after it. End of story. No follow up. This is what the MAGA saw on Fox News, and they think it was the truth, Praise the Orange Jesus.
I don't think there was a single criminal referral coming from DOGE. They just pretended it was found and now my Mother-in-Law thinks Trump has fixed it.

Submission + - CDC orders massive retraction of scientific papers on political grounds (substack.com) 2
Mr. Dollar Ton writes: The CDC has apparently instructed its scientists to retract or pause the publication of any research manuscript being considered by any medical or scientific journal, not merely its own internal periodicals. The move aims to ensure that no “forbidden terms” appear in the work.
The policy includes manuscripts that are in the revision stages at journal (but not officially accepted) and those already accepted for publication but not yet live.
In the order, CDC researchers were instructed to remove references to or mentions of a list of forbidden terms: “Gender, transgender, pregnant person, pregnant people, LGBT, transsexual, non-binary, nonbinary, assigned male at birth, assigned female at birth, biologically male, biologically female,” according to an email sent to CDC employees (see below).”
If true, Lisenko would give fat thumbs up to the new administration.

Submission + - Trump Administration Releases California Dam Water Without State Approval (newsweek.com) 1
An anonymous reader writes: As the wildfires continue in Southern California, President Donald Trump's administration released significant amounts of water from California's dams on Friday in a move that bypassed state authorities.
Trump has been fiercely critical of California Governor Gavin Newsom's efforts to contain the Los Angeles wildfires that broke out last month, dubbing him "Newscum" on social media.
The president has repeatedly attributed the disaster to what he says are water shortages caused by California state policies, such as fire hydrants that ran dry, though this was denied by state officials who claimed a water-pumping station that was down for maintenance has since been reopened.
The directive to release water came after Trump issued an executive order to "maximize" water deliveries in California and "override" state policies where they deem it necessary.
According to the Times on Friday, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers had then been directed to dramatically increase the flow of water as federal data confirmed that by the end of Friday increased releases from Terminus Dam at Lake Kaweah and Schafer Dam at Lake Success would total approximately 1.6 billion gallons of water.
The sudden water release has since stunned local officials, who scrambled to prevent potential flooding as state and federal water managers typically coordinate releases carefully, ensuring that enough water is retained for future agricultural use while preventing flood risks. However, the Trump administration's order bypassed this process, creating a chaotic response among local officials.
The unprecedented release, which sent water rushing into the Central Valley, had no impact on the recent Los Angeles wildfires, despite Trump's claims, who took to his Truth Social account to tout the release of water.
"Photo of beautiful water flow that I just opened in California," he posted, hailing the release as a "long fought Victory" that he suggested could have prevented the wildfires. "I only wish they listened to me six years ago—There would have been no fire!"
According to the Times, water experts explained the water released is headed for low-lying agricultural land, not Southern California, and has no physical route to reach wildfire-affected areas.
Laura Ramos, interim director of research and education at the California Water Institute at California State University, Fresno told the newspaper, "If the purpose was to help with the fires in Southern California, we do not believe that it will, because that's not where that water goes."
The release of the water comes after Trump claimed on social media on Monday that the U.S. military "just entered the Great State of California" in an attempt to improve the water supply.
Trump, a long-time critic of Newsom, said the military used emergency powers and "TURNED ON THE WATER" from the Pacific Northwest following the wave of devastating wildfires. This was denied by state authorities at the time.

theweatherelectric writes: Sean O'Kane for TechCrunch writes, "For nearly nine years, Elon Musk has promised Tesla vehicles had the hardware needed to support a self-driving car. This week, he made his latest admission that many are not. Musk said on a conference call Wednesday evening that Tesla cars equipped with so-called Hardware 3 will need an upgrade before they can support unsupervised self-driving software the automaker is still developing. These Hardware 3 vehicles, sold between 2019 and 2023, are equipped with the older version of the computer that powers the company’s “Full Self-Driving (Supervised)” driver assistance software. 'I think the honest answer is that we’re going to have to upgrade people’s Hardware 3 computer for those that have bought Full Self-Driving,' he said. 'That’s going to be painful and difficult, but we’ll get it done.'"

Also Trump is easily manipulatable and bribed.
