farritor and kliger are the two who i want to see in orange jumpsuits being hauled off to prison
If you recognize Kliger's name, it is probably in this context: he manually shut down life-saving aid from USAID.
In between his DOGE work and starting his defense start-up he was appointed to the DOD as - brace yourselves - chief data officer.

Updated this piece on the difference between civic tech and DOGE to reflect new reporting on how DOGErs are monetizing their connections to Silicon Valley.
This is the worst example: the DOGErs who blocked USAID life-saving aid have a $1.4B defense startup.

NEW: The US theft of Venezuelan oil resources appears to bring the Pentagon its own source of money — something that should be understood as another milestone in the collapse of constitutional government.
The Dawn Of The Self-Funding Pentagon
It's not like the military is cash-starved from Congress. But it looks a lot like it's going to make money off Venezuelan oil

I’m outraged by this attack on Representative Omar. Trump and his DOJ have a bizarre obsession with tearing down Minnesota, our leaders and our communities. This latest action, even as voting has already started in Minnesota, is a transparent attempt to interfere in our elections.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation.
