DOGE is not a real department.
In order to be a real department, DOGE would have to be approved by Congress.
Pass it on.

If you're a reporter and you catch yourself writing about the "crisis" of "skyrocketing federal debt" in your copy, delete your draft, start over, and read The Deficit Myth by @stephaniekelton.bsky.social. Way too many journalists telling on themselves that they don't know how federal spending works

In the coming months there’s going to be high turnover amongst Trump’s team of ghouls. Don’t take that as evidence that Trumpism is failing. That’s the state failing; Trumpism is a consolidation, a regime, in which vicious apparatchiks are interchangeable.
