Over the past several weeks, ProPublica has identified dozens of people who worked for DOGE.

#ICYMI: We just added 20 names to our tracker, bringing the total to 66.

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people:

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation.

I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

i think this is basically what has happened a big chunk of the american pundit class
One of my best friends is from a sleepy, wealthy small town in the south-west of Germany. He said, so many of my parents’ neighbours are rich and bored, with little to complain about, and they’ve radicalised themselves at dinner parties and online. In their aimlessness, they’ve bonded over hate.
This isn’t some rant saying “Germany has learned nothing from its past” - the reality is more subtle than that. Middle-class Germans live and travel with an incredible amount of ease and comfort, and they just got…sleepy. Many of them dismissed the far-right’s rage as just another set of complaints.

Multiple US agencies told employees not to respond immediately to a demand by Elon Musk to list their accomplishments in the past week or be fired, as a chaotic campaign to cull the federal workforce pushes forward reut.rs/3XewdXW
Some US agencies tell workers not to reply to Musk's 'What did you do last week' email
Officials at the FBI and State Department sent their staff emails telling them not to respond outside their chains of command, in a possible sign of tension between the president's allies and Elon Musk.

Hold the fuck on — members of Elon Musk's private security detail have been deputized by the U.S. Marshals Service?

What the actual fuck?!?!?

On Tuesday, Donald Trump declared that the two million Palestinians in Gaza should be forced out of the Strip. Even if it isn’t more than a provocation, there will be a price for his madness, David Remnick writes.
