Being among the first interrogated and ultimately fired by DOGE, I certainly felt we were facing the business end of a right-wing conspiracy theory 🧵
DOGE was not a money-saving effort. It was an effort to chase down and prove right-wing conspiracy theories. They went after USAID to prove conspiracy theories about foreign aid. Then they went after SSA to, again, pursue conspiracy theories about Dems paying "illegals" to vote. 1/2
All DOGE accomplished was purging critical government staff, handing private data to outsiders, and sentencing thousands in developing countries to death by gutting USAID.
I don’t say this lightly: if there were any justice in this world, the people responsible for this devastation would be in jail

It's not just that the United States has stopped trying to promote liberal democratic ideas internationally. It's that the United States is actively trying to promote the contrary. It's trying to turn more countries into Hungary.

RFK Sr.'s trip to Mississippi in *1967* left him shaken. It is obscene how many problems we have solved in living memory and people just pocketed those gains and decided they could never return. Now we have Kennedy's son leading the charge to bring them back. It's deranged.

"Let Us Now Praise Famous Men" was published in *1941.* People today do not have any conception of the level of ambient poverty, malnutrition, and just general backwardness that existed in the US prior to WWII. These are people who remember the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl.

People feel less wealthy now than people in the 1950s/1960s did because the material conditions of you and the people around you is roughly on par, unlike the 50s/60s when a twenty minute drive out of town might return you to the 19th Century if not further back.

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.
