For the record, this is the opposite of throwing Kristi Noem under the bus. This is making clear that the decision was made at the highest possible level to assure minimal judicial scrutiny when they run to SCOTUS.
NEW:
The DOJ tells Judge James Boasberg that Kristi Noem made the decision that flights that had departed should continue on to El Salvador, in contravention of the court’s orders.

BREAKING:
“After receiving that legal advice, Secretary Noem directed that the AEA detainees who had been removed from the United States before the Court’s order could be transferred to the custody of El Salvador. “

Being among the first interrogated and ultimately fired by DOGE, I certainly felt we were facing the business end of a right-wing conspiracy theory 🧵
DOGE was not a money-saving effort. It was an effort to chase down and prove right-wing conspiracy theories. They went after USAID to prove conspiracy theories about foreign aid. Then they went after SSA to, again, pursue conspiracy theories about Dems paying "illegals" to vote. 1/2

All DOGE accomplished was purging critical government staff, handing private data to outsiders, and sentencing thousands in developing countries to death by gutting USAID.

They tried to kill a bunch of contracts for having things like the phrase "diverse end-user base" (meaning, a bunch of different offices using a software product) in requisitions.
They also wanted us to cut all IT contracts by 50% of their $ value, but without changing anything in the work scope

Before I left, I had to work with a DOGE bro on a project, and the one PR of his I looked at was full of AI-hallucinated code. He very obviously just pointed AI at it, and shipped it without checking any of it. They‘re not sending their best.

IMHO, this is why the president should not nominate the FBI director or AG.
Let the people vote them in or the House nominate them or literally anything else, too much power for one person.
We need to neuter the unitary executive.

I've taken a deep dive into the DOGE bro's open source software code commits to verify they never wrote (or even oversaw) any code beyond culture war messaging. It's all trivial stuff like this: taking out the "nonbiary" option on some form.

They thought we, being radical leftists apparently, would put a "DOGE sucks" type of message onto government websites or into government communication systems
My evidence for that: the right did exactly this to government websites. So they were projecting what they planned to do onto us.

The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals.
The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry.
Where is the MAHA outcry?

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

precisely my thought. the president and his dumbass republican allies put these men and women into harm’s way for a political stunt and look what has happened
Whether this was random street crime or targeted political violence, I think it was bad for the president to unnecessarily put the National Guard in harm’s way like this. They simply don’t need to be there.

Several ‘New York Times’ headlines in 2025 have earned severe social media backlash. Is it happening on purpose?

Yes. Government needs to care for the people. It is the only moral reason for government to exist. That should always be its first priority and we need to vigorously demand it. It's clear grocery prices aren't going to come down on their own. Government needs to step in.

without the overhead of profitability and unnecessary private levels of "administration" and executive pay. The private sector had the last 40 years to prove they are more efficient & can bring down costs. What they did instead was monopolize & drive up prices and drive down wages.
