DOGE isn't really dead, but it is injured. Part of the credit for that belongs to my former federal colleague Chuck Borges, rhymes with gorgeous.

Chuck blew the whistle on DOGE Social Security data theft and got fired for it. Now he's running for office! Check him out: @chuckborges.bsky.social

The leak was to stymie the imminent sanctions on russian oil.
“The leak of this russian wishlist has created so much controversy that everyone has forgotten about the US sanctions on the main buyers of russian oil. There was legislation ready to go. If the US followed through on that, russia would be out of business in 6 months. This kerfuffle is about that.”

1/ Why have so many supposedly MAGA accounts on X been exposed as being based in Nigeria? The answer may be linked to the unfortunate coincidence that the word "maga" in Nigerian Pidgin English means "a gullible person, a fool, or the unsuspecting victim of a scam". ⬇️
