Just means they need the media to downplay the high level of subservience everyone is giving to Trump in his apparent intimacies with Putin that make Russia a newfound friend to MAGA and the USA. A ruse.

Rep Jamie Raskin is encouraging people to send in #FOIA requests to #DOGE to demand an enumeration of what the department knows about each requester. Since DOGE is an official government agency, they are obliged to respond to these requests per the Federal Privacy Act of 1974. US District Judge Casey Cooper has affirmed this as well in a recent ruling.

An explanation of the campaign, and a form letter ready for your customization is found here: jamieraskin.com/doge-privacy-a…

DOGE Privacy Act Requests - Jamie Raskin for Congress

U.S. Representative Jamie Raskin is encouraging all U.S. citizens to join him this week in filing formal demands for access to their personal data obtained by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and Elon Musk.

isn't this likely to just make them annoyed at FOIA and stop processing them altogether? I'm leery of strategies based on the assumption that they have to follow "the rules".

Agreed, but then every rule not followed is yet another attack surface in the courts. And they will of course try to weasel out of court orders or ignore them, but that too takes work. No single grain of sand in the gears is the one that brings the whole machine down.

I found this site that lets you draw icebergs and see how they would float (joshdata.me/iceberger.html?fbc…) - I was looking for visualizations of the iceberg metaphor for behavior, how we only see 10% of what someone is really going through. It’s a great resource for that and also now I’m distracted seeing how an iceberg shaped like a cat would float.

While I feel more natural typing over handwriting, I must admit moving my journaling to handwriting has been a positive.

Less stream of consciousness writing, requiring more deliberate and slow thinking.

42nd Street and Madison Avenue. Street hawker selling Consumer's Bureau Guide. New York City

#42ndStreet #MadisonAvenue #NewYorkCity #NewYorkCitys #undefined #photography #DorotheaLange

loc.gov/pictures/item/20177722…

The image depicts a street scene in what appears to be mid-20th century New York City. A man is holding up a sign that reads "Consumers Bureau Guide," which mentions research and information on various topics including health, housing, prices of goods, and more. He stands among pedestrians who are walking by him; one woman looks at the paper in his hand while others pass without much attention or interaction with him. The street is busy with people dressed in mid-century fashion—men wearing suits and hats, a woman in a skirt and coat—all seemingly going about their daily routines. The photo has black-and-white coloring typical of that era's photography. A date code "3-028P1" appears in the upper right corner along with the text "Consumers Bureau Guide," indicating it may have been part of an archive or collection. The overall mood is one of a bustling city where life moves forward, and individuals like our street hawk are just another element within that urban tapestry. The presence of such informational materials suggests there was a concern for consumer awareness and protection during this time period in New York City's history.

I like this messaging.
A screenshot from the X account of Democrats @TheDemocrats • “Ugly ass truck” as a quote post of a story about Trump buying a Tesla that shows a pic of Trump and Musk with a Tesla on the left and a Tesla on front of the White House on the right. “FactPost @factpostnews • Trump desperately tries to boost Tesla's plummeting stock after accusing Americans of "illegally" boycotting the company.” is the original X post.

Walz: #Trump doesn't know how anything works. Trump is this caricature that had a reality TV show that pretended like he knew how to run biz’s. The reality is, he doesn't..

& then he tells his supporters that only he can fix it. He's the guy who goes & starts the fire & then stands there & gives directions & acts like he knows how to put the fire out
