100%. It was an epic smash and grab.
I remain convinced DOGE was a massive, planetary scale data exfiltration scheme and that Palantir has it all now
Musk's people infiltrated the GSA technology arm early on and demanded root-level access to computer systems, trying to circumvent normal security procedures. Here's one example where they pushed so hard they forced someone to resign rather than give in.
Why did they do this?

NY Times endorsing this question is very revealing.
What a strange framing and characterization. How does one describe his blatantly dishonest, racist question about taxes as “press[ing] the Mayor-elect on his policy proposals”? In what way does this lying troll emerge as a “winner“?

A poor person rang our doorbell. I ran home to lead a post-Ferris Bueller screening discussion about inequity with my twins, Carnegie and Ophelia. Then we tucked dollar bills into copies of Atlas Shrugged in our Free Library. I don’t have ALL the answers, but we do have a great college essay topic.

Trump in a room with a very charismatic person results in like half a day of Trump agreeing with everything that person said, so this has the potential to be very, very funny.

How’s it going, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social ?
Jeffries giving the finger to Mamdani the day after Mamdani asked the NYC DSA not to support a primary against him is worth remembering. He went out of his way to insult him for a no reason-- not the move of a trustworthy or intelligent politician.

Mamdani just went to the mat for Jeffries w the NYC DSA, at the risk of alienating loyal supporters. And Jeffries turns around and does THIS? Endorsing a rebuke to Mamdani before his meeting w/Trump? Beyond insulting, this is so politically STUPID. Talk about an unforced error. Nope. Primary time.
4 senior House Dems — Hakeem Jeffries, Katherine Clark, Pete Aguilar, & Ted Lieu — voted for a Republican-led resolution to “CONDEMN SOCIALISM,” a symbolic measure that passed the chamber on Wed. The vote comes as NYC mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is set to meet with Pres. Donald Trump at the WH today.

It is batshit to me that the Chronicle is continuing to push this story, that the silence Harvard folks should regret is not speaking up to denounce students complaining about rape culture.
Harvard's prosecutorial culture was "miserable," says Jill Lepore. Even so, she stayed, but has since come to regret her silence. https://chroni.cl/4ihof9O

I’d like to please juxtapose Jill Lepore’s complaints about how whiny #MeToo students made Harvard a miserable place with the former President of Harvard’s texts to Epstein seeking advice on trying to date a student.
The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.

This is a fascinating and very smart idea-- and the CBOX team offers a great model.
Universities spend gazillions on EdTech software that doesn’t serve faculty or student interests and often doesn’t work well. But what if we got off that path and leveraged internal resources to produce non-profit systems? Here’s a proposal to leverage the CUNY systems platforms.
"Christopher Newfield called for academics to 'seize the means of knowledge production' by working 'step by step ... toward direct control of universities.' ... I think the most imperative, but also the most apparent pressure point for academics looking to act upon his call is education technology."
