WIRED tracked down some of the most prominent figures of last year’s DOGE invasion. Here’s where they are now—in government and beyond. (Ed. note: they’re not gone. Some of them are STILL in the government.)

You Do Not Hate Congress Enough

“When there’s no more room in hell, the dead will walk the Earth.”

Over a month of bombings, lives lost, global economy disrupted, billions in taxpayer dollars gone, alliances weakened, depleted stockpiles, for this …

this is all I can think about these days

I think maybe we need to have another lockdown

So at the risk of maybe overreading this and making an educated guess, I think I can guess what specifically Wyden is talking about. I think it's about use of AI (LLMs) by FBI to surveil American communications without a warrant

seriously hope when dems get back in power they go after every single fuck involved with DOGE

Can't be; dude testified under oath that he doesn't tweet and doesn't even know how.

The mugger has a higher moral position. The mugger assumes personal risk and is unambiguous about the transaction. The mugger does not hide behind vague langue or institutional inertia. The mugger does not gaslight the victim in the same way as the politician or the insurance companies.

It’s a bunker. Maybe he and Melania can do some role play together, she can be Eva Braun.

This was a question I asked Pablo to ask Reps today. You got to listen to her answer because the caption doesn’t do it full justice. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Anyway, I feel zero pity for anyone under Trump’s hire who does not demand their payment up front. Stiffing workers is as much a Trump thing as stealing hamburgers is a Hamburglar thing. “Robble, robble.” Ya dumbass.

What in the antebellum is he thinking? Any excuse to control the movement and lives of Black people.

Keep in mind that this tax is on a tiny sliver of the NYC population. He’s not seizing the property or criminalizing the ownership, he’s just applying a tax. The rich will spend far more money fighting these policies than it would cost them to just pay the damned tax. And that’s the real problem.

one comical aspect that unites today's britain and today's america is that these are both countries that voluntarily inflicted immense economic harm on themselves for basically idiotic, barely cogent reasons and got absolutely nothing out of it

People asked how we got here, check out the drawing...

I’m calling it. JD Vance is going to have it rough running for president because Trump won’t give up the spotlight or the quick endorsement he should. Worse, it already looks like he’s setting him up. If things go sideways, Trump won’t take the hit, he’ll make sure Vance goes down with him.

Sen. Mike Crapo blocked Sen. Elizabeth Warren's last-ditch attempt to preserve the IRS's free Direct File program. In the last election cycle, Crapo was the top GOP congressional recipient of campaign contributions from the corporate PAC of TurboTax's parent company.

I don't have a lot of faith in this, but the fact that Trump is five points underwater in Iowa during a war should be a fifty-alarm fire for the Republicans

“Our research consistently revealed that one of the best predictors of a sleepless night was having a gong sound near one’s bed,” said lead author Dr. Sylvia Mott

you'd have to be this young and dumb to think you could beat a handsome Australian man in a contest of expressing snide confidence

What do these companies have in common? -Block -Citigroup -Coinbase -CVS -Dominion Energy -Disney -Halliburton -Hasbro -HP -Kohl's -Live Nation -Palantir -Paypal -PG&E -Southwest Airlines -Tesla -United Airlines They all paid a lower effective income tax rate than you: zero.

Mamdani: When I ran for mayor, I said I was going to tax the rich 
Well, today we're taxing the rich...

Dont forget everybody tomorrow your subscription to USA Plus renews if youre on that plan

best case: once Trump leaves office, historically unpopular, the next eight years are characterized by a rejection of anything that looks far-right, in the same way Reagan followed Carter and went so far as to tear the White House solar panels down.

the best-case scenario future of the United States is that Donald Trump goes down in history as "Fascist Jimmy Carter".

"Someone tried to strangle Sneako", "Clavicular just had a drug overdose", I refuse to believe that understanding any of these headlines is better for me than chain-smoking

Vice President JD Vance was brutally mocked after he spoke to a small crowd at the University of Georgia during a Turning Point USA rally on Tuesday.

It will never stop being horrifying that all the institutions that were supposed to stop this stood by and did nothing as Donald Trump allowed Elon Musk and his criminal gang to plunder the government and steal 300 million people’s personal data.

Eric Swalwell and Tony Gonzales didn’t announce they were resigning until they were referred to the House Ethics Committee for investigation into sexual misconduct allegations. Consequences work when shame fails.

I unironically miss this era of hater.

A newly unearthed FBI document appears to directly contradict First Lady Melania Trump's surprise statement last week regarding how she met her husband, President Donald Trump, and whether Jeffrey Epstein had played a role.

CENTCOM: More than 10,000 U.S. Sailors, Marines, and Airmen along with over a dozen warships and dozens of aircraft are executing the mission to blockade ships entering and departing Iranian ports

She's from ARKANSAS they fly her everywhere apparently

This is very bad.

BREAKING: An appeals court orders a judge to end his contempt investigation of the Trump administration over deportation flights.

Kabul is rapidly running out of water. Experts say climate change has played its part,  but so has massive population growth and resource mismanagement.

Threat modeling has gotten bleak lately. * We may be incapable of dealing with existential threats owing to late capitalism + social media shredding our ability to form a collective response. * Propensity of teams to engage in cult formation lead to a loss of operational efficiency
