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”.
It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

The US ice core research community, with international partners, has recovered valuable records of past climate from the Arctic & Antarctic since the 1950s.
Here is a sampling of cores—including 6,000,000 year old ice via NSF Center for Oldest Ice Exploration—at the NSF Ice Core Facility.

On scientific topics, especially in public health, federal government webpages have been a trusted way for the public to find reliable information.
A CDC webpage with disinformation is dangerous in the short term and erodes public trust in science in the long term.

It’s now clear that information on U.S. government websites can no longer be trusted.
It’s both heartbreaking and infuriating to see how quickly this administration has undermined science, public health, and the credibility of our scientific institutions.
