DOGE days are over as Trump disbands Elon Musk's team of federal cost-cutters | TechCrunch DOGE members are reportedly worried that they could face prosecution for some of their activities conducted while under the leadership of Elon Musk.

▶️ As of November, DOGE “doesn’t exist.”

▶️ DOGE dismantled federal programs and government departments without quantifiable savings.

▶️ DOGE’s cuts have been blamed for countless deaths globally after USAID shutdown.

▶️ DOGE staffers fearful of future federal charges w/o protections from Musk

DOGE shut down

DOGE caused huge disruption: agencies shut down, workers fired, contracts canceled and major delays

USAID was dismantled and experts say hundreds of thousands of people overseas have already died because of cuts

And, we added trillion dollars to deficit in three months

epic fail

The White House’s failed DOGE experiment ends with a whimper, not a bang The White House’s failed DOGE experiment ends with a whimper, not a bang The Department of Government Efficiency was hyped as a governmental gamechanger. Its doors are now closing as a pitiful failure.

Bye, bye DOGE-bags. Thanks for stealing our data, killing kids, creating famine, and destroying Federal agencies.

Don't let the door hit you on your way out.

Fuckers!

This is one of the big accounts boosting Tommy Robinson, Farage and Reform and ‘English Patriots’.

It’s Russian.

Divers interacting with a spotted eagle ray (according to Google).

These rays are recognizable by their distinct white spots on a dark back and a diamond-shaped body. The unique pattern of spots on their underside is like a human's fingerprint, individual to each ray.

He’s always thinking about new ways to improve the lives of average Americans.

If the President doesn’t want to be called a Russian asset, perhaps he should stop acting like a Russian asset.

The latest pathetic attempt by Reform UK supporters to distance themselves from Nathan Gill and #ReformRussianBribes is to say ‘Reform UK didn’t exist when he took the bribes’.

UKIP > Independent > Brexit Party > Reform UK

That’s the path Gill and Farage took TOGETHER.

Finland announces migration of its rail network to international gauge The Finnish government announces the migration of its rail network from Russian gauge (1,524 mm) to international gauge (1,435 mm) from 2032. The change aims to improve military mobility and regional ...

Finland uses “Russia-gauge” rails. They are going to move to European compatible rail gauge for their own resilience.

This is what we should be thinking about for moving to open social away from American platforms: it should come with significant spending commitments & is absolutely necessary.

New rule: if you’re a Supreme Court Justice and you’re mentioned in the Epstein files, you have to recuse from any future lawsuit about the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

Are those "MANY GREAT LEGAL SCHOLARS" in the room with you right now, Piggy?

I hope MTG reads the Epstein list on the floor of Congress

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.

We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.

We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

It's a sign of how insane the news cycle is these days that this historic failure of government policy got just one day of news coverage this week. Not saying that's right or wrong, but it's astonishing how quickly the agenda moves on these days. , Paul Brand @paulbrand.bsky.social • 2d BREAKING: UK's response to Covid was "too little too late". Acting faster could have saved 23,000 lives in England according to the public inquiry. Boris Johnson presided over a "toxic, sexist, chaotic culture" in No10, where rule-breaking seriously undermined public confidence.

Exactly the same as the Iraq Inquiry though: straight in the bin and never spoken of again, not least because none of it would’ve happened this way without the close, hand-in-glove cooperation of the British press. Don’t want to look to hard at that stuff.
