The Department of Government Efficiency claimed to have slashed tens of billions of dollars in expenditures, but it was impossible for outside financial experts to verify that because the unit did not provide detailed public accounting of its work.

This is right and the other thing here, especially because Lizza doesn’t present evidence, is that “catch and kill” means something specific—putting a source into a contractual obligation so that they don’t have the option of taking a story elsewhere and then not running it.
something i'll note is that if nuzzi ran catch-and-kill ops for rfk jr and lizza knew this prior to him being appointed as HHS, and instead of telling anyone, he decided to save it for his substack long after rfk jr had made communicable disease into federal policy, that's completely fucked

Part Two is really the ultimate in “Well I don’t know what I was expecting” but I definitely want to read the RFK poems that are too explicit to publish.

Tonight I became aware of a 1995 Blade Runner knockoff starring Marc Singer, set in an android-dominated 2077 in the coastal city of Phoenix (the entire West Coast has fallen into the ocean after an earthquake). It‘s called CYBER ZONE.

When asked how we got ahead on DOGE, I’ve told people that a key insight was that Elon Musk was claiming he could cut a sum greater than all discretionary non-defense spending and been taken to be making a joke.
seriously, can anyone give me a reason why reporters refuse to express huge budget numbers, that they know are meaningless to their audience, in a context that makes them understandable -- such as a percentage of the budget? I NEVER get an answer to this question.
If every budget number was presented as a percent of budget, percent of GDP, and percent of 10 year GDP, a large fraction of the population would have a pretty good understanding of the relative sizes of these items and budget proposals pretty quickly

An interesting thing here, given the news, is that the secretary of education is the defendant in a suit accusing her of turning a blind eye to the operations of a child molestation ring that, there is no dispute, operated within her business from the 1970s to the 1990s
This is a direct attack on our children & our future.
At a time when we need to be doing more to prepare our kids to compete in the global economy, Trump is going after the agency that strengthens American education. Once again, he's helping our adversaries & competitors.
