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.
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.

Bye bye, “DOGE”.

The writers have done a spectacular job this season revamping their fascinating "Marjorie Taylor Greene" character. The suspense over what she will do next is compelling. A lot of things are going on with MTG, maybe some good, others bad, and we won't know exactly what for two or more seasons.
