Note: I don't usually post from sites I don't know, but I can't find this segment on Rachel Maddow's site (this is normal behavior for MSNBC). He has the video included and I can't go directly to the video.

Following up on his startling revelations today about how DOGE engineers accessed MLRB databases without authority, and that Russian IP addresses were used with recently created user IDs and passwords to access them, Daniel Berulis— speaking through his lawyer—followed up with a new bombshell that DOGE systems “were also connected to Starlink”.

Here is some more info from NPR: https://www.npr.org/2025/04/15/nx-s1-5355896/doge-nlrb-elon-musk-spacex-security

              obvious grifting scoundrels obviously grift, obviously.
for example Elon musk has pumped the shit out of Tesla stock, and recently sold x to xai - this isn’t just cooking the books this is big time money laundering now. Can you trust these guys not to drive over the rule book if there’s a whisker’s chance in hell they’ll get away with it? Absolutely fucking not and you need your head examined if you think you can. It’s pretty fucking obvious.
established history of republican politicians literally cheating their way to victory via crooked voting machines (bush / gore - this is not conspiracy, this is established fact)
massive obvious projection from republicans / maga types makes it pretty obvious what they’re doing or about to do, eg ‘Hillary’s emails’ = guess who is using personal email accounts for everything / ‘pedophile ring out of a pizza restaurant’ = guess who is literally running a sex trafficking network oh look no way fucking etc etc etc etc and including stolen election bullshit blah blah blah
obviously shading comments ‘we have a plan’ ‘good at computers’ ‘I literally rigged the election otherwise I would have lost, but I rigged it so I won’ - Donald j trump
it’s not fucking rocket science to be honest I’d say it’s pretty fucking obvious
