old Soviet joke for our times: Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to. Guy says: “looking for an obituary.” Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.” Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

It's more than a little bizarre that the press was more vocal and judgmental about Biden's Afghanistan withdrawal than the current unscheduled rapid disassembly of our entire democracy and civil service.

Trump used (trashed) US diplomatic resources to get two men being investigated for trafficking, sexual misconduct, and rape in three countries (the UK, US, and Romania) out of Romania. We will not hear one peep from supposed Christian moralists or govt waste experts about this.

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.

it’s comforting to imagine that nothing could’ve been done to prevent our current disaster, or at least that nobody could’ve known. but the truth is, since jan 7th, 2021, many people have been loudly yelling that we could end up right where we are now if the people in power didn’t change course

This is such a great example of what its actually really important to bring the heat to elected Republicans: they are massively soft crybabies who will 100% come unglued when faced with even the slightest bit of pushback from voters.

This should go without saying, but none of this is about efficiency; it’s about breaking the wills of anyone earnest enough to view public service as a worthy calling and, by extension, to undercut the draw of service for a generation.

This is a good reminder that anytime you try to find some kind of 4D chess reason for what Musk does, the reality is much likelier that he is a complete idiot who has no idea how the world works, yet he is powerful and rich and wields near complete loyalty from others so he gets what he wants.

Off the top of my head, DOGE purports to be duplicating the efforts of several existing institutions including GSA, OPM, OMB, OIRA, and OIG. Yet, at no point, did it ever explain how those institutions were supposedly falling short and why reforming them would not be preferable to replacing them.
