The People Carrying Out Musks Plans at DOGE
By The New York Times
Feb. 27, 2025
The New York Times identified 45 people within the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, a group formed by Elon Musk that in a short few weeks has radically upended federal agencies. Few members have formal Washington experience. Many are software engineers. All seem to have a clear mandate: Shrink and disrupt the federal government.

(11,450 posts)There was a story earlier this week about young Black musicians not be allowed to perform with a Marine band- after winning competitive spots. MSNBC fired their only Black host. Experienced Black military brass is being replaced with less experienced sycophants. I have not seen a breakdown of the civil servants the Dodgy boys have fired but I expect a lot of them are Black.

I wonder if any one of them have bothered to read it.
Sidenote:
I dropped my subscription to the formerly great Washington Post along with many thousands of other astute readers. I subscribed for decades! Sorry to see it go. I might look into re-subscribing to the Times again if they keep this up.
Anyway, when I open DU, the knot in my stomach relaxes instantly!
WP comments section have an almost unanimous left leaning and astute readership. Think about the bad marketing Bezos is up to!!! WP has a loyal audience that it is driving away to join a right wing saturated media environment. The other day I read over 7000 comments on an article on Bezos' lastest editorial decision and overwhelmingly posters said they unsubscribed. Only 2 commentators were right wingers!!!
Now you can't "like" comments. You can only choose 4 insipid reactions,
CLARIFYING
NEW TO ME
PROVOCATIVE
THOUGHTFUL.
I feel like I am back in kindergarten again.
Many of the commenters are clear how much they hate this new system, complain mightily and do soft sabotage. For instance I suggested if we react, we only choose "THOUGHTFUL" and that has mostly caught on! I'm not blowing my own horn, it's just a pissed-off crowd of like-minded folk.

The evil these doge people do and the harm to so many is going to come back to haunt this land. There will be many lost lives from their desire to harm. All humans and animals should cringe from these people for they carry the doom of our Country.

(40,095 posts)Sorry about that. I have many ethnic Hungarian friends, and have heard lots of cursing them, so they would not appreciate this.

(964 posts)super sensitive because people are turning on others who are in the same boat. So, PLEASE accept my deepest apologies. BTW, I'm not only NOT Magyar but I'm an American MOSTLY African American married to a Moravian Bohemian Czech but learned Magyarul over 36 years ago when I was engaged to a Hungarian. I don't YET speak Czech fluently, BUT I'm learning Czech, Ukrainian and Polish. I already speak pretty good French, Portuguese,. Italian and Spanish & a smattering of other languages.
Right glad tameetcha...

Since the Washington Post's owner no longer supports the 1st Amendment of our sacred Constitution.
I just dropped my multi-decade sub to the Post. Sad to see it go! It was a great paper when owned by the Graham's! I bet they rue the day they sold it.

This is Ethan Shaotran. He's one of Musk's DOGE takeover hackers
2 yrs ago he won the Berkeley AI Hackathon
But in 2000 won the HackGT7 with a ballot altering program called BallotProof
Here's the deep dive that he couldn't scrub....
