Of course President Musk wants to slash another organization that's investigating his shady business deals. Let's call this what it is: DOGE is bribing federal workers to resign so the SEC can't do its job. This is the opposite of government efficiency.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

Since I have defended and supported the WaPo in the months since the election and the infamous pulled endorsement, I feel obliged to say: this is very, very bad. A dear friend at a Post vet says it's the worst thing to happen to the Post in its long history, and I can't argue.

Government time wasting, widespread inflation, thousands of layoffs, corporate price gouging, plummet stock market, it’s all because of them. They don’t care that the common American is suffering, they care about giving themselves tax breaks and government contracts. They do not care about you.
