A lot of people seem to think DOGE is over.
We already had a functioning US Digital Service. It was created by Obama in 2014 to improve the design, cohesion, and usability of federal online services. This bastardization is mostly a handout to AI cos and trump’s billionaire tech backers, and a large part of trump’s HUGE Obama envy.

The fact that not a single reporter tells Mike Johnson “let me read it for you” or “here it is” when he claims he hasn’t seen or doesn’t know a thing about the psychotic ramblings of the head of state is not only a dereliction of journalistic duty, but a display of pure cowardice.
