DOGE’s accounting of its “savings” is riddled with sloppy mistakes. The five largest cuts that it listed on its website earlier this week were all incorrect — making the savings look far larger than they were in reality.

I think there’s this tendency to assume Musk enters each agency with some kind of plan. But his office is 30 people, largely children, and the federal government employs millions. He spends half his time on drugs, tweeting, doing interviews. It’s all random noise www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

So we did a podcast with such a great guest that I had to write the story up. It's about an obscure clique of consultants who make you pay more for power without your knowing it. Let me explain: prospect.org/environment/...

From the article the Welsh government are trying to do a bit but saying they need UK wide coordination, and the central gov... isn't responding. The "no plan so there's a series of painful adhoc adjustments that no one really thinks is a good idea" outcome for Uk higher ed looking incredibly likely.

Delaware is worried that corporate exits would remove a major source of income from the state. So it's poised to pass a bill written by Elon Musk's lawyers that would weaken shareholder rights and likely give Musk a $55 billion payday. From @ryanlcooper.com: prospect.org/justice/2025...

If mainstream Democrats had been listening they would have heard many people pointing out that clearly their crackdown on people opposing the genocide in Gaza- especially on college campuses- was crashing a freight train into possible opposition to the Trump reign.

Anyone else find it weird that Delaware Democrats are tripping over themselves to rewrite state law so Elon Musk can get his $55 billion pay package? Bueller? prospect.org/justice/2025...

2 points. @margaretomara.bsky.social fantastic history of Silicon Valley, The Code, has the goods on how crucial hype is.

It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen. 1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.
