my endorsement for any democratic presidential candidate who promises to send the entire DOGE team to prison
This is insane and everyone involved needs to be sued into oblivion and then go directly to jail

18f were a bunch of badasses who actually *did* make government more efficient in a way that actually worked. And they did it while also being good people who cared deeply for the work, for each other, and for the people that used it.
18F, a digital services unit inside the General Services Administration, has been completely laid off, according to an email I’ve seen. The email says that 18F was deemed “non-critical” and the decision was made with the “explicit” direction of the administration and GSA leadership.

One of the more insidious aspects of the wholesale dismembering of our government that's happening now is the language its perpetrators are employing to frame it.

"We have this fourth, unelected branch of government, which... has, in a lot of ways, currently more power than any elected representative. And this is not something the people want." 🤔

lawyers: your bat signal has been activated
The American Bar Association has just called upon every attorney, regardless of their political views, to join them & stand up for the rule of law & at minimum insist that our government "follow the law."
Every lawyer has an ethical responsibility to do so.

The conversation ultimately follows the people, not vice versa.
When we talk ourselves into passivity with doomerism and "disinformation is insurmountable" fatalism about our message, we give up that power.
Just like the fascists and their enablers want us to.

It's 100% accurate to call what happening right now a coup. For decades leading tech companies have emerged as increasingly powerful and borderless nation-states that operate with little to no effective regulation. This moment is the logical next step in their emergence. They're swallowing us whole.

Was it really a good idea for Dems to give FOTUS a way to win the loyalty of a large tranche of mostly young voters on day one by nullifying a hugely unpopular ban on their favorite addictive substance? Only time will tell.

This is the take.
Zuckerberg holds a majority of voting power in his company. That he should see it as “out of touch” isn’t a criticism of woke Dems. It’s a criticism of the way he himself capitulates and blows with the political winds. He's at war with himself. Has been for years. www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

Thinking about leaving a platform where you've spent a big chunk of time after its leadership takes a mask off kinda feels like contemplating amputation after realizing the place you mistook for a safe haven is the mouth of an insatiable beast and would your rather lose a limb or your life ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
