A new website created by about a dozen federal employees, called “We the Builders,” aims to be a secure outlet for government workers to share stories about how their workplaces are being impacted by DOGE, and a place to explain the real-world impact of its access to government tech systems.

The state needs defence from neoliberals as well as fascists www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/02... If the state is to be defended from the attacks it now faces, we have to understand why it is failing, and that is by neoliberal choice. This one is wonkish, I admit, but should be worth your effort.

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.

💥 Well how about that. After years of Brexiteers saying we had to leave the EU to avoid being forced into a European army… … it turns out that Brits are fine with the idea. With the UK explicitly included. A plurality of Tory voters support it - and even a fair chunk of Reform. How times change…

"It is well-known that most of the mainstream media do not approach a Labour Government in a neutral way. Some blatantly misrepresent what is happening, but more often they simply do not report activity, leaving people with a sense that the government is doing nothing."

It’s a cliché to say it—and no two historical scenarios offer a perfectly compelling analogy—but what each American is doing now is what they’d be doing were they a German living in Germany and were it 1936-38 There’s no more doubt about who the appeasers or the bad guys are—they’re in the open now

Vance comes to Munich and lectures Europe on free speech but fails to mention Russia, where free speech gets people murdered. What should have been an important address about conflict is used to push an agenda to Europe's far right. Nobody should trust a word said by his administration.

Immigration, mostly from outside the EU, surged due to Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal. Net migration rose from 184,000 in 2019 to 906,000 in 2023. It was a gift to Nigel Farage, writes Andrew Adonis. www.prospectmagazine...

I did the simple thing of asking a more experienced colleague for advice today and almost instantly, a problem that has been keeping me awake at night for weeks was solved. Don’t be as reluctant as I often am to ‘bother’ colleagues - people are generally very happy to help if they can!

When social media exposes traditional media’s deceit, it’s time for independent journalists to investigate why the press is backing a president who undermines free press—and is it coordinated?

The UK can secure significant growth of 1.7% - 2.2% through a policy of deep alignment with the EU on goods and services, while staying within Starmer's red lines. This is the approach to push for: peak ambition within the constraints Labour has set. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.
