Some of his readers have asked Mike Masnick @mmasnick.bsky.social why his technology news site, Tech Dirt, has been covering politics so intensely lately. www.techdirt.com/2025/03/04/w...

I cannot recommend Mike's reply enough. It's exactly what readers need to hear, what journalists need to do.

This is the story.
DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Reminder: measles can kill, especially young children. The outbreak in Samoa, that RFK Jr. helped take hold with vaccine disinformation, killed over 80, mostly young kids.

NEW — In an alarming email last night reviewed by me, Coast Guard members learned that 1,135 members' direct deposit account routing information was compromised due to a data breach from unauthorized access.

It was only discovered because an officer “reported anomalous activity” on their account.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

What the hell just happened w/ tariffs? Trump put Mexico tariffs on hold after Sheinbaum promised to send 10K troops to crack down on fentanyl; FYI Mexican military has >400K members. Realistically, I think the bully backed down when his target wouldn’t roll over.

Let’s see what happens w/ Canada.
