BREAKING — States attorneys general lead by @newyorkstateag.bsky.social were just granted a preliminary injunction in their case against DOGE. The team cannot access Treasury Department payment systems or data while the lawsuit proceeds. Major.

Here’s a good model for responding to this dipshit’s letters:

DOGE By The Numbers theonion.com/doge-by...

Wrote about how easy it is to claim you saved taxpayers billions when you just make shit up. But also how this is the Twitter Files all over again. The dumbest people don't know what they're looking at so it must be a conspiracy www.techdirt.com/2025/02/19/i...

The good news is i saved you 60 billion dollars. The bad news is that is a typo i saved you 600 dollars and also your plane is falling out of the sky

It’s not a “savings” if you’re getting fewer services in exchange. I’m still paying the same taxes!

look, if you don’t trust the geniuses behind businesses that go bankrupt, rockets that explode, and cars that kill people, who can you trust

YIKES. “Throughout history, tyranny has been limited by human frailty. Dictators tire. … They must sleep. … “AI fundamentally changes this equation. … [W]e face the prospect of systems of control that never sleep, … and … can … identify patterns of resistance before they even fully form.”

They were careless people, Don and Lonnie—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast careless or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made. (Adapted from F. Scott Fitzgerald)

the people from the exploding rocket company?
