The Defense Digital Service was created in 2015 to help the Pentagon adopt fast tech fixes during national security crises and push Silicon Valley-style innovation inside the Pentagon.

Putin and Xi and Kim Jong Un are rubbing their hands in glee.

This follows their mass firings of tech departments in other key government agencies.

This is the height of stupidity. The world runs on tech. Who'll keep us safe from malicious foreign actors (or anti-Americans like Musk)?

Vlad's investment in and recruitment of Donnie into the KGB (which is what Russians still call it) is paying off better than either them could have imagined.

Cover for him in Ukraine? Break up the Western Alliance? Crash the Economy?

Kill the Tech Team that keeps getting in the way of Kremlin Bot Farms?

Absolutely nothing Donnie won't do for him.

The world runs on tech.

Meanwhile, Trump is trying to bring back coal as the energy source of the future!

Trump, would have been a great president in 1825. Not so much in 2025.

But hey. If he's successful. Americans will experience what life was like in 1825 America.

White supremacy, poverty, famine, pestilence, and ignorance!

MAGA!!!
