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.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
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.

It's bizarre to me that Trump, who talks like he has imperial ambitions, is dismantling the services that run the empire. I can't tell if he's senile and being completely puppeteered by Musk, or if he's lucid but just actually has no idea what any of these agencies do and why it's in his interest as president to keep them working.
Krasnov is doing what is ordered. Dismantling the USA. Just like his handlers want.
He doesn't care as long as he gets to be the man behind the desk. He's a manbaby. Elon is the one actually running things. There's pictures of Elon talking to the cabinet while Trump is asleep and any time a cabinet member pushes back against a DOGE directive Trump backs up Elon. What Elon wants is for the government to be utterly shattered so he can rebuild it as a private entity.
Not just Musk, but I suspect he's being puppeteered by all of his billionaire 'allies' to gut government so completely that it can only be sustained by the lower and middle classes, and effectively relieve the rich from taxes. They can also be gutting the nation so that when election year comes around it's so weak he can do whatever he wants and ignore the law. And if course, gut it completely so that the enemies of democracy wage all the wars they want so they can turn the status quo for themselves.
The US as it stands is nothing but an obstacle to these rich assholes.
It's just compete idiocy though. The government is what grants them their property rights. They're literally engineering their own demise.
I think there were some really dark or embarrassing things in his twitter dms that Musk is holding over his head. Plus he is a malicious idiot who can't comprehend spending resources to help other people.
that's not the empire he's rooting for
