The People Carrying Out Musk’s 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.

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.

for America's constitution.

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.

Has the expertise to hack just about anything, including creating fake electronic ballots to rig an election thats his specialty.

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....

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
