What do Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy plan to do with DOGE? Musk wants to slash government spending by a third, and Ramaswamy wants to cut 75% of the federal workforce. Can they?

For Al Jazeera, I dived into this new Dept of Government Efficiency Office and what exactly it is and how it will operate. I spoke to people deeply involved in the transition team and they're not really clear on it either.

Anti-abortion Secretary of State Frank LaRose ordered the purge of 27,000 voter registrations before voters decide on Issue 1, which would codify abortion in the state. People can re-register—but not in time to vote on the ballot measure. That deadline was Oct. 10.

Cannot stop thinking about Biden and all the US officials who cast doubt on Palestinian death tolls 24 hours before Gaza was placed under digital blackout and carpet bombed to oblivion. There’s no way they didn’t know this was coming, and the atrocities taking place in the dark should haunt them.

Listened to a dispatch from a dad in Gaza on NPR this week. He said they were rationing food and trying creatively to explain this to his small children. One day he saw his child gulping water but couldn’t bring himself to say stop, bc he didn’t want that to be the last thing he said to his child.

It's been obvious from the start that the Israel attack on Gaza would end up killing the hostages.

If Hamas didn't kill hostages already, the IDF's bombs might kill them, or Israel's dehydration of Gaza will. Sick that Israel is effectively killing the victims in whose name they pretend to fight.
