The headline that 21 DOGE staffers have resigned is a little misleading. These were employees of the United States Digital Service, which existed pre-administration and was absorbed into Musk’s team. These aren’t the young idiots; these are actual civil servants.

Put plainly, Musk has wasted 48 hours of the federal government’s time to fuck with people’s heads under the guise of achieving greater efficiency.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

on top of this being unenforceable bullshit, many federal employees cannot even access their email on the weekend without a work VPN. others can, but (unlike in musk’s world) it’s actually frowned upon to access off duty.

I don’t know why this is hard for folks to understand. The layoffs aren’t just about probationary employees. They are going beyond that. It won’t stop. It’s all about making agencies non-functional.

New — Social Security Administration (SSA) probationary employees were told today that they have eight hours to agree to be reassigned to a field office, tele-service center or payment center and waive all rights to appeal reassignment, or they will be fired, agency source tells me.

I feel like I'm going insane every time I see a media story about DOGE that doesn't also mention the fact that the Government Accountability Office exists and performs the exact function that DOGE pretends to, only in a credibly constitutional, non-partisan, and conflict-of-interest-free manner

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.
