Going to start a list of every program, agency, board, etc. that I can find that we know have been DOGEd out of existence. (You can also just check in with @kellylsmith.bsky.social at UCSD, where she maintains an exhaustive list of acronyms and links, including monthly data on who's been 404d).

This child is in prison. He is a US citizen that has committed no crime, has not faced a jury of his peers and has not been charged with anything at all. He is 2 months old. In prison. He is 2 months old and in prison.
‘His life is in danger,’ U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro said about newborn Juan Nicolás. The child fell ill after spending almost a month — or half his life — in a San Antonio-area family detention facility.

The degree to which “moderate” has become an epithet for “coward” amongst normie Democratic voters is extremely underestimated by the media and political elite.
And this was interestingly unanimous— and not being that well reflected yet in the offerings from actual Dem politicians. Word to the wise

This is /slightly/ bigger (and more ominous) news than AOC inserting a couple of filler pauses while responding to a question about her policy regarding Taiwan, let’s see if NYT treats it as such.
President Donald Trump said that he’s discussing future weapons sales to Taiwan with Chinese President Xi Jinping and teased that he would soon make a decision about future defense support for the self-governing island.

Besides, no one’s pushing for Newsom other than the media, who want to start horse race stories early. What normie libs love, anecdotally, is his comms team shitposting Trump, but that doesn’t translate to a strong primary position, especially when his podcast is basically an oppo ad against him./
The reason people are concerned about lefties saying “I won’t vote for a moderate Dem” isn’t because they want Newsom. It’s because lefties keep not voting for moderate Dems!
I think all the scolding about it being years til the primary would hit a little harder if WE DIDN’T JUST GO THROUGH THIS

Cruelty of almost incomprehensible proportions. CoreCivic and Target Hospitality must be permanently debarred.
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.
