We are working on launching an ALT DOGE website. It will soon feature a team page listing all of Elon’s staffers, our own wall of receipts (tracking the money he’s taking from America), and a section to help Americans keep tabs on the false claims on Doge’s website—which now exceed 52%.

If DOGE is a federal agency, it can’t shield its records from the public. If it’s not an agency, then its tens of millions of dollars in funding weren’t legally allocated and should be returned, some contend.

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

I might write a series of short stories of America's multiverse. Like the alternate timeline in which MacKenzie Scott gets WaPo in the divorce. Her editor puts the dangers of Trump's dementia on the front page in 2024, warning of potential manipulation by techno-feudalists. & we listen to them!

I’m not going to lie, I have started to wonder if the acceleration of the government takeover is due to an acceleration of Trump’s dementia: which makes the people behind him realize that the jig is going to be up VERY soon. And that’s why they’re scrambling with everything they have immediately.
