DOGE’s Only Public Ledger Is Riddled With Mistakes
The figures from Elon Musk’s team of outsiders represent billions in government cuts. They are also full of accounting errors, outdated data and other miscalculations.

Really good advice about the need to do something in these times ...
There were two things that stuck with me from my most recent chat with my therapist that I'd like to share. First, my therapist was telling me how on a trip to the Amazon, she came across a line of ants that she followed. (1/🧵) 💙

Oh great question! I’m not 💜
How are y'all dealing with the cognitive dissonance of much of your daily life continuing as normal right now even as really really really bad shit is happening in government (that will certainly have ripple effects that will reach us all)? Because I'm honestly feeling a little insane right now.

"The men appear to have barricaded the entrance to the bank, spray painted the security cameras, and ordered the employees to lie on the floor. We're watching now to see if they do anything wrong."
I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

NEW: Archived tweets for Gavin Kriger, Musk's 20-something DOGE employee wreaking havoc inside USAID, shows that Kriger has retweeted multiple neo-Nazis including Nick Fuentes, leader of the so-called Groyper movement, and another popular explicit Nazi account recently unmasked by @travisbrown.dev
Gavin Kliger, Elon's DOGE hitler youth shutting down USAID, is now indirectly responsible for the deaths of thousands of children. His Instagram appears to be @gkliger. He's scrubbing his online footprint.
Here's an archived copy of Kliger's resume: web.archive.org/web/20240418...
