The "DOGE is gone" articles are clickbait but this one gets it closer to the truth: DOGE is not gone, it just claims to have "no centralized leadership" anymore -- in other words, its leadership is hiding in an attempt to avoid blame.
DOGE no longer has ‘centralized leadership’ under White House tech team, personnel head says
The team that was altered to house DOGE — formerly the U.S. Digital Service — is also still doing its own technology work across agencies.

A noticeable trend here: people who challenge the Trump administration are often mocked in the same way by officials — by questioning whether they hold the title given to them.
Note: Kelly is a retired Navy Captain, Black is a pastor, and Budde is a bishop.

I heard there was a Cohen song,
And all the Christians got it wrong,
But you don’t really get the meaning do ya?
‘Cause you see its about getting laid,
It’s sex, and love, and Jewish faith,
But all the gentiles heard was “hallelujah!”

I can't shake this feeling that Conservatives hate the idea that you can end up need, in spite of being diligent and working hard. Like, the idea that you can just get dealt a crummy hand and end up down and out just doesn't exist in real life.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.
He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

Shared this link on FB (I know. I know.) Have gotten 3 replies thus far that are the equivalent of "All this is the necessary consequence of everything that the Dems have done."
It is AMAZING mental gymnastics that blames the other side when your team controls all 3 government branches.

✋ Kid who grew up on food stamps, here. This is it. Like any system I’m sure you can find *someone* who is gaming it, but yeah we were on it because after all the hours my parents worked, we literally couldn’t even afford a table to eat off of, much less food. I’m not exaggerating.
SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.
Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:
* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled
* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages
