What I Accomplished Last Week: 5 Bullet Points for My Boss 1. Pondered the great question of our time (“Who is the administrator of DOGE?????”) 2. Read some court filings that did not reveal the DOGE administrator’s identity 3. Asked Elon Musk to tell me who the administrator of DOGE is (no reply)

acknowledging the history and existence of black people in america is not dei; it is not diversity; it is describing what is in front of you.

This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick.

No matter how preposterous, the Times headlines nearly every Trump story as if it were written by the White House comms team.

I guess we shouldn't be surprised anymore .... but it still blows my mind how consistently they do PR for Trump. He could literally put Putin in charge of the military and they'd print his press release about it.

BREAKING — States attorneys general lead by @newyorkstateag.bsky.social were just granted a preliminary injunction in their case against DOGE. The team cannot access Treasury Department payment systems or data while the lawsuit proceeds. Major.

Instead of huge, screaming headlines like “REPUBLICANS ALLY WITH RUSSIA, ABANDON ALLIES” we’re seeing “Surprising New Alliance” and “Trump Elevates Kremlin Talking Points.” Media outlets are catastrophically incapable of meeting this moment.

I cannot emphasize enough that the New York City subway is not scary. It’s one of my favorite parts of living here. I grew up in the suburbs having to drive on highways everywhere and that’s way scarier

NYT, folks. Embarrassing shit.

Take note of the messaging - this is both accurate and deeply unpopular. It's the kind of thing that forces GOP House members to quietly tell their constituents that they too are concerned about Musk. Make them own this. Make them squirm.

Still waiting for that torrent of accountability articles promised by @ericlipton.nytimes.com. Instead we’re getting articles about Trump’s “fondness” for destroying our democracy. Such a failure.

The disturbing part of Trump declaring himself THE KING isn't that he did it, it's that his followers want him to be a king. They've completely abandoned the fundamental precepts of democracy in favor of total centralized control by a new American royal, because they both hate the same people.

A lot of people now see that Musk is a vile extremist. But many still struggle to accept that he is also an oblivious fool. Once you actually listen to what he has to say about the world, you realize it’s all faux-visionary nonsense layered on top of profound ignorance.

helluva thread from the hellsite about the comically bad “savings” doge claims to have found (sorry for the weirdly sized screenshots, I had to squeeze everything into only 4 of them)

Interesting. Here's my alternative take: Kill it with fire.

Yep, DOGE is as incompetent as everyone thought. An $8 million "saving" has been listed as an $8 BILLION saving. That is 14.5% of their total claimed $55 billion in "savings" having been completely made up.

If the Trump Administration as stating on the record that Musk is merely an advisor and not formally part of DOGE, then he has no protection under the supremacy clause or as a gov’t officer, and state governments should announce criminal charges & arrest warrants ASAP

"If sometimes wrong" defeats your entire premise here. If you can't reliably determine accuracy you might as well consult a Ouija board to "self learn"

If I'm reading Politico, I want expertise on U.S. politics. Seems pretty simple! This is like someone from WIRED writing that they don't know who Alan Turing is, or what he did. Which, BTW, would never happen.

True story: a few years ago, I was being interviewed by a reporter for the New York Times. I mentioned the history of eviction statutes and how they tied into Jim Crow. The reporter asked "what's Jim Crow?" When I explained, the reporter didn't believe me and said the US wouldn't do that.
