DOGE failed. And DOGE is dead. So I guess government can be responsive after all.
Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY2025 was not only than in FY2024 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.*
The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths.

DOGE was a failure if the goal was saving money. It was a huge success if the goal was giving a bunch of techbro adjacent people unfettered access to govt data in ways that, thus far, are evading the Privacy Act.

Not to minimize what it took to get there, but not only were the charges against Marimar Martinez (shot by CBP in Chicago) dropped, but they're keeping her car to investigate the goons in the incident.
This is the pattern: ICE/CBP initiate violence toward observers and protestors, then they claim they were assaulted in order to use the threat of prison to silence dissent.

a PSA: most nonprofit newsrooms right now are probably participating in the NewsMatch program RIGHT NOW. That’s a program funded by a few foundations that “matches” your end-of-year donation.
If you set up $10 monthly, that literally unlocks $120 from NewsMatch.
So who could you support?

A little over 10 years ago, when I worked at the Idaho Press, I had to make the difficult decision to leave journalism because I was making about $24,000 a year.
Had the same reaction.
Y'all, folks are gonna climb over each other for this job, because that is absolutely *great* money for a journalism gig.
This is also why referring to journalists as "elite" always makes the lot of us chuckle a bit.

There are several replies pointing out how low that pay is, especially for NYC, and I'm once again realizing that people have no idea how shittily journalists are paid.
