NEW: The director of data science and engineering for what is now known as the US DOGE Service has resigned. "If DOGE truly was concerned with efficiency, they wouldn’t have fired experts in procurement," she writes, "who prevent waste up front." This is by @makenakelly.bsky.social

The US Digital Service represented one vision of technology in government, centered on building government capacity and making service delivery work better. DOGE is focused on weakening capacity and downsizing government. The culture clash between the old and new USDS is just going to be too great.

Well, this is epic. There are now multiple Reddit posts of either fired federal employees or federal employees, who, if fired, say they would run for office. One person even says he plans on “running & being a full on attack dog.” Another says he “certainly will” if fired. Hope.

American institutions—from the media to Congress—continue to underreact to the unraveling of our democracy.
