It’s been really striking how much the judges Trump appointed have ruled against him while the judges that rule in his favor are the ones appointed by the Bushes. Really says a lot about that era and how it’s been whitewashed.

Key takeaway: DOGE wasted tons of money, fired many excellent federal employees and destroyed vital programs. They have been dispersed into different agencies to protect them.
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.

Let’s see if one single pundit who said there was some great realignment of American sentiment with this last election, based on what they saw on the Nazi-owned platform overrun by foreign actors, offers any retractions or corrections for their gullibility.
It’s hilarious and revelatory that a bunch of giant MAGA/America First X accounts are actually based in Eastern Europe and Nigeria.

Yeah I’ve done the math and if I were to monetize my X account I’d make like… a couple thousand dollars a year, if that? And to do so I’d have to destroy/dismantle a number of ethical barriers, so it’s just obviously not worth it. But a few thousand dollars is big money in many countries.
I had a popular account with a valuable audience and my Twitter payout was $80 a month-ish, to the point where I disabled monetization instead of uploading my ID. Payouts are only material if you live in a developing country, so “guy in Nigeria posting right-wing Amerislop” has taken over the site.
Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.
