I'm taking note of all the progressives in the US who claim to be about fighting the oligarchy who are silent on Ukraine. Ukrainian investigative journalists and civil society risk their lives to expose their oligarchs and their links to our own here at home. The fight against kleptocracy is global.

Musk didn't take over Twitter, because he liked how it empowered activists, journalists. He wanted to turn it into a fascist disinformation machine. DOGE is the same project. Ruining the lives of people he hates was the point. Musk is a racist trust fund kid seeking revenge for the end of apartheid

The point was to kill people, not to save money
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”.

It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

Can we just savor the fact that, in these days before Thanksgiving, a federal judge threw out the cases against James Comey and Letitia James and noted that Lindsey Halligan was illegally appointed (making clear that Trump's the one who violated the law)?

Both Trump and Putin could use a fake war to distract from their own failings and corruption at home. Don't underestimate Venezuela drama being an opportunity for both regimes.
🇻🇪🇷🇺 According to Kremlin sources, Vladimir Putin has officially declared Venezuela a strategic partner of Russia, pledging comprehensive political, economic, and military support to defend the country against any external threats amid escalating tensions with the United States.

The "Department of Government Efficiency" has disbanded eight months early.

DOGE sowed chaos throughout the government and disrupted services relied upon by millions, while finding hardly any savings.

Here's what you should know about damage that DOGE leaves behind.

The idea that we get *less* migration from a destabilized Venezuela is madness.
Cracks me up how you could just replace Venezuela and Venezuelans with Iraq and Iraqis and it’d be indistinguishable from something written in 2002

Bolsonaro was brought to justice, because Brazil suffered under dictatorship. Enough Americans voted (or stayed home) to ensure we learn the same lesson, the hard way.
After receiving an alert on Saturday that the former president’s ankle monitor had been tampered with, the Brazilian police entered Jair Bolsonaro’s home. Bolsonaro had burned the device, he told the police, days before he was to begin a 27-year prison sentence for trying to stage a coup.
How a Sabotaged Ankle Monitor Ended Bolsonaro’s House Arrest
Shortly before he was expected to start serving a 27-year sentence, Brazil’s former president took a soldering iron to his tracking device.
