there was a very weird like month in the lame duck where some treated DOGE as something with the potential to right-size select parts of government and thus worth working with, and not the obvious meme-costume mask over a billionare's chainsaw indiscriminately massacring the administrative state

BREAKING: I've heard from two sources at the Department of Energy that many or all of the department's probationary employees are being fired today. I'm not sure whether the firings affect NNSA as well.

He's trying to run the government like twitter (burn it down for insurance money, make it a safe haven for yes-men only) and it's genuinely staggering that the opposition party isn't doing more to stop him at every turn.

If these first few weeks are any indication, it looks unsurprisingly like Trump's policies are tracking pretty closely with Project 2025. Here's a little reminder what that report said about nuclear weapons: inkstickmedia.com/project-2025...

Just made a whole episode that ends with, “but, you know, that won’t happen now.” A sad little microcosmic gift from me to you.

This is grossly irresponsible reporting by the AP. What’s being offered is not a buyout. The deal is if you agree to resign in September you can continue working remotely until then. There is no buyout or severance.

I wrote a long piece at @inkstickmedia.com about the situation for refugees on Greece's Chios island, the way the journey they take has become more dangerous & violent since 2015, & how border violence/deterrence has failed to stop people from risking the crossing: inkstickmedia.com/after-greece...

I recommend this piece by Tyler Hicks, a journalist I've know for a long time. He balances the real concern about militias and sheriffs and mass deportation alongside real information about how the process works. inkstickmedia.com/the-sheriffs...

A lot of people forget how humiliated Kim Jong-un was after he walked away empty handed in Hanoi. Doubly so because his diplomacy with Trump was very much a personal initiative on his part. And he got nothing out of it.

Difficult to describe what a dangerous moment we are in. The owner of Twitter/richest man in the world/closest adviser to the next US president is promoting a far-right Tommy Robinson (!) documentary to his 200 million followers. This is the mainstreaming of violent, Islamophobic fascism.
