DOGE isn't really dead, but it is injured. Part of the credit for that belongs to my former federal colleague Chuck Borges, rhymes with gorgeous.
Chuck blew the whistle on DOGE Social Security data theft and got fired for it. Now he's running for office! Check him out: @chuckborges.bsky.social

Today I learned about Grice's Maxims.
I've been using a version of one to describe #ContentDesign without knowning.
"The maxim of quantity, where one tries to be as informative as one possibly can, and gives as much information as is needed, and no more."
I say, "As short as needed and no shorter."

A rider’s experience on WA’s portion of the Great American Rail-Trail
The grand ambition: to complete a 3,700-mile rail trail that connects Washington to Washington, D.C. It's 55% done, but advocates say the hardest work remains ahead.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city.
We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

Working people have been left behind in New York. In the wealthiest city in the world, one in five can't afford $2.90 for the train or bus. As I told Trump today— it’s time to put those people right back at the heart of our politics.

How do you remove a president with friends like Putin and Epstein and Robert Kennedy? Vaccines are safe. Trump and Kennedy mislead people with false information, on official information from the Centers for Disease Control, and so many other places like truth social.

Congressional Democrats should call for his immediate removal or resignation.
Congressional Republicans should condemn his statements and call for him to recant them.
