One of my all-time favorite independent political commenators, a young Englishwoman who goes by Supertanskiii on yt, says that DOGE should always be pronounced “dodgy,” and I am in complete accord.
[She also says that Farage should always rhyme with “garbage.” That’s what he is.]

I’ve lost track if it was DOGE or “anti-DEI”, but the data lost/removed from government websites feels like a crime to my record-loving self.
I found out the other day that once again there are a group of archivists creating backups of the data removed from the websites, and hosting them in Europe, to avoid US takedown requests apparently. The HHS one is fully operational that I saw and more to come. Crazy that we have to rely on silent digital soldiers to prevent brain drain. Again.

Of course, because DOGE has done such a flawless, painstaking job.

Except of course AI sucks and it would just thrash around and fuck shit up.

Here’s hoping the rest of the fucking world steps up to prevent that from happening.

I’m trying to remember if it’s USAID funding that Michael Bloomberg pledged to replace. And if so, how much of it.

I think the funding is only part of the problem, which that could be more easily replaced (this would be a good way for Bloomberg, etc, to actually help). In a recent video about the TB medicine and testing being held up in warehouses, John Green pointed out that the harder problem to crack is actually the logistics of these programs. Here it is…
Governments are often great at logistics, and that might be the larger problem other governments need to step in to help mitigate with USAID no longer providing this.

Elon Musk and DOGE are slashing the size of the federal workforce in what they say will bring big savings to taxpayers. Stephen Fowler, political reporter with NPR’s Washington desk, reports on the typos, exaggerations and shoddy math in DOGE’s receipts.

This is so stupid whenever Leon states it will “bring savings to taxpayers” because it’s not like we taxpayers get rebates or lower taxes. No reporters call him out on this shit.
You know who’s a traitor? Leon is a traitor.
