Guys? I had to add an Axios story to my DOGE debunking list today. I think the story is substantially wrong and it's Axios and all. But it's still a debunking. That's what we've come to. EVEN Axios can debunk DOGE. www.emptywheel.net/portfolio-it...

There's always been reason to believe DOGE was hacking govt systems. Now a whistleblower has substantiated it at NLRB, precisely the kind of data compromise labor unions worried about when they sued re DOL.

Stephen Miller was outright screeching yesterday that the press was describing Abrego Garcia as a Maryland father. The right wingers who are targeting these people keep choosing REALLY sympathetic targets. Keep telling their stories. Keep debunking the baseless terrorism claims.
