And on that note, this week, WIRED learned that operatives working for Elon Musk’s DOGE appear to be editing the code of AutoRIF—software designed by the Defense Department that could assist in mass firings of federal workers.
And this happened... (sorry for the potential NSFW AI-generated feet content here.)
Dig deeper into who is facilitating Elon Musk's ambitions to dismantle key parts of the government and you'll find the Millers, a Trumpworld power couple that have become Musk's guides to life in Washington, sources tell WIRED. An inside look from @jakelahut.writes.news
Shifting gears just a little bit, here's WIRED's investigation into the Zizians. A handful of gifted young tech people set out to save the world. For years, WIRED has been tracking each twist and turn of their alleged descent into mayhem and death.
Elon and his band needs to be shut down. The cuts have been rightly called out as a way of lining the pocket of the rich but to what end. Do check out the video below youtu.be/aHQtt3eGGYM?...
🚨 Mass terminations directed by Donald Trump 🇺🇸 and overseen by Elon Musk 🚀 through the Department of "Government Efficiency" (DOGE) 🏛️, will significantly impact 📉 the upcoming Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) 📊 Employment Situation report for February 2025, scheduled for release on March 7, 2025. 📅
#ICYMI Andrew Weissmann, Legal Analyst; NYU Law School Professor, is now on YouTube. "What we are witnessing isn’t just the implementation of Project 2025—it is something even more insidious." www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVp0...
The US is making risky choices, cutting government jobs, starting trade wars, and hurting global allies. They are causing problems inside the country and with other nations. By focusing on short term ideas instead of long term stability, the US will face economic troubles and weaker global influence
That’s one faction. The other is the tech bros who are aiming to crash it, sell for parts and then rule over their lands like feudal lords of a technocratic state. Musk, Thiel, Andreesen, Yarvin, etc. They‘re working together with the Christian nationalists for now.
I grew up in the Christian nationalist movement (though we didn't call ourselves that, obviously). To get the whole story talk to journalists like @swordsjew.bsky.social who wrote two books on white supremacy and Christian nationalism, @rlstollar.bsky.social who can talk about christian child abuse.
Me too...I just published a book about how that movement went from the fringes to the mainstream (through the lens of a terrible crime it enabled): wildbluepress.com/the-dumond-a...
Can confirm; I grew up in the Moral Majority era and was part of that whole homeschool xtian nationalist movement. Also recommend Dr. Stroop @www.bugbeardispatch.com as another former insider exposing the dangers of it all.

Wired and @makenakelly.bsky.social continuing to deliver the best journalism on all things DOGE, vastly outpacing the traditional broadsheets. I subscribed this week because of it. Keep it up!
So let me get this straight, DOGE kills USAID since it will save maybe 20 to 30B and guts NOAA saving <1B, meanwhile Trump pushes through a 4500 B gift to the rich and we have made the deficit worse. I must have missed the MAGA math day at school bsky.app/profile/mehd...
Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.” There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.
