Pay attention.

Via #Maddow:

“The Senate won’t confirm them” is not even a wishful thinking response, it’s 1 that ignores what’s happening:

Trump announced in advance of these picks that he expects the Senate to shut itself down so he can make recess apptmts — which means no confirmation process at all

1st rule of authoritarian politics: there’s only one source of authority.

Cong will be expected to give up its role in governing, partic anything that restrains Trump’s choices and desires.

Via Adam Parkhomenko:

It took exactly one week for #Trump to say out loud since the election that he can’t run again but maybe he is here to stay.

With Musk serving as a de facto cabinet member, it's reasonable to assume that X/Twitter will freely provide federal agencies with the sort of data that would normally require a warrant.

It's equally safe to assume that far right agency heads will use that data to pursue administration goals, like immigrant deportation, abortion prosecution, protest suppression, etc.

If you know anyone who insists on using Twitter, please urge them to be excruciatingly careful about what they post there from now on. Information and data that may have seemed innocuous a year ago are now a threat vector, and the person posting them may not always be the person most at risk.
