News
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 easy to claim transparency when you lie about everything
He claims transparency, but we see right through him.
Every right leaning person I've talked with about this claims "unparalleled transparency" with these guys. What, a bunch of self written social media posts? Full transparency would be detailed reporting that would also we'd have the ability to verify via a third party. What these guys are doing is the equivalent of, "trust me, bro."

I sometimes think of those redcaps as something out of a sci-fi movie where they take over any normal brain function.
You're just being paranoid. You know what would help? A nice relaxing trip to the brain slug planet where you can lay in the sun with no helmet on.
Freedom of speech maximalist > no freedom of speech on his platform
Transparency maximalist > no transparency in his agency
Who could have seen that coming?
Don’t forget Tesla lying about many things and saying it’s “free speech” to lie to customers, and being very obstructionist when releasing safety data
"Maximally transparent" in the same sense that Musk is a "free speech absolutist".
His feelings about free speech are very absolute. Absolutely authoritarian. Get back in line and have you papers ready!!
This is what dictators do. Grab power and place it under their control.
Trump will whittle away at the other branches of government until there's nothing left, and then he will say we don't need those other branches since they don't do anything and dissolve them.
This has been played out many times.
No, no, no. You lefties always calling everything fascism. Musk is weeding out government waste and corruption. Trump is donating his entire presidential salary, he's doing this out of the kindness of his heart. You liberals are all so gullible and reactionary. Just calm your pants down, once the taffis go through and we remove the evil migrant criminals it will be infinite money for everyone. Except you commies because you're all too dumb to realize.
I could go on but the McDonalds employee is eyeballing me. They hate it when I use their wifi. It's going to be great when I don't have to do my laundry in their bathroom anymore because I'll have my own 24k gold mansion.
BTW any cuties out there dm me. Just be aware, I want 10 kids so better have a good set of birthing hips.
This could actually be serious until the second paragraph.
DOGE’s FOIA exemption is a direct assault on accountability and public trust.

It's so transparent that you can't even see it.
The corruption is just in your face. I bet "maga" is eating it right the fuck up, too, the idiots, because....libs:owned. Or something.
Some perhaps, but if you look at the videos from recent repug town halls, even maga is pissed. I’m talking reps can’t complete statements due to being drowned out by boos in +30 red districts. There are opportunities here for a real populist party to form if people are able to seize it.

They're still trying to blame it on "bussed in Democrat paid agitators".
Yeah, maybe. The oligarchs have proven themselves quite capable (in the past, anyway) of directing that anger anywhere else but where it should be directed, so I guess we will see.
I'll never get over the pretentious way the Orange Menace poses for the camera. And it makes me want to punch him every time.
He looks like a corpse with poorly done casket makeup
Are we certain this isn't a Weekend at Bernie's situation?
He looks to me like Biff Tannen just got another face-full of manure.
Every picture looks like he’s focusing not shitting himself
"Your honor I'm not subject to that law under the clause I said so." Judges love hearing that.
uint8_t transparency = 255;
...
transparency++;
Prolly can't figure out where and how the shit is stored.
I've seen a setup once, involving airflow, pgsql with a few different databases for different systems, a few CSV and Excel files stored on webdav shares, a few ETL scripts, some not working, in a weird graph, and a Microstrategy instance used to view a report or two resulting from that.
That was probably a job safety mechanism of the leaving data analyst, though. I'm not sure how such chaos could have been created on purpose and other things he did seemed very clean.
Or they just don't want to and are arguing the definition of "agency"
Kafka couldn't even think something like this up.
Normally I'd say "that's not how it works" but given the shit we've seen it might in fact work
Isn't that for the courts to decide?
The ones he ignores and the ones overriden by a higher court with the reasoning "we'll get around to looking at what the courts already said was illegal.". The Supreme Court basically just kneecapped the entire Judicial branch by implying the courts rulings don't matter unless they come from the SC.
That photo is perfect, they both look completely ridiculous (well, more so than usual).
