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”.

    Because the Republicans have done an excellent job of looking like lunatics claiming election fraud and vote fixing. The left and progressives would look like the lunatics and be put in the same categories as the conspiracy theory loving right.

    Also, I think having “fair” elections is the only thing that keeps us going. If we don’t have the hope of voting someone out next time, we’re really going to give up.

      No offense but you all need to dig deep down and get some of the anger that the MAGA group has.

      we’re really going to give up.

      You would never hear them say this in response to elections becoming unfair. They’d be burning down the house. Turns out they got everything they wanted from doing this, so why is the left absolutely collapsing and instead focusing on demonstrations akin to whatever happened on the 4th. Time to put on your vagina hats and go for a walk.

        No offense taken. I know you’re right, but anger is hard to pull up after we got him out once and he’s back in. Don’t get me wrong, he cheated, but how was that even fucking possible? A LOT of fellow American traitors helped him. It’s disheartening.
