DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.
It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

Today the Saints and Falcons are playing an elimination game of sorts. The winner isn't going to the playoffs or anything but they will come away with "momentum," a win over a rival, and a viable project of being a live spoiler the rest of the way. The loser goes to bed for 2025

Bill voted to confirm RFK because he was afraid of being primaried by yahoos for going against Trump. So he fell in line. He is getting primaried by yahoos anyway. One of America's most hapless oafs.
TAPPER: You were the deciding vote that allowed RFK Jr to ascend to the role of Health Secretary. Did you give him too much credit?
CASSIDY: The fact is the scientific community agrees that vaccines are safe. That's all I can say.

Meanwhile, after the cute little 2-week news cycle of some meaningless public feud with the president, Elon Musk—and probably also Peter Thiel—walked away with their hands on what is likely a database of literally every single American citizen’s most private financial and demographic information.

DOGE was not a failure. Its purpose was to use the completely fabricated claim of “efficiency” to irreparably annihilate vast amounts of federal government infrastructure, which it did instantly, violently, and in ways we will not see the full repair of in our lifetimes.
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.

I know this is rhetorical but my stab at a real answer: because they are trying to get funding from VC people who are ideologues like Peter Thiel and Thiel doesn’t want us to have libraries
Why is startup culture always “I am inventing a coffeeproof phone you can put in your coffee cup to keep it warm with cell radiation” and never “I’m inventing a new library wholesaler to replace the single company that is shutting down and sending libraries into crisis”

After Katrina, many of us said that we could choose to bear and mitigate the costs of climate change in collaborative, socially responsible ways that maintain communities OR we could shunt those costs onto the most vulnerable individuals. Guess what happened. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

well, I read it, and the salient, non-gross part is Lizza alleging, midsentence and without elaboration, that Nuzzi ran numerous “catch-and-kill operations” on RFK’s behalf, which would give her a role in both his appointment and the untold preventable deaths he has abetted in office. Cool.
