SCOOP: DOGE has been clear about its plans to fire tens of thousands of employees at the Department of Veterans Affairs. Now WIRED has new info on the specific DOGE operatives at the VA, and the ways they’re trying to infiltrate and change the agency.

According to sources within the agency, the DOGE delegation includes Sahil Lavingia, Cary Volpert and Christopher Roussos. These operatives appear to have no work experience that’s remotely close to the VA in terms of its scale or complexity. www.wired.com/story/doge-d...

Lavingia, who is the CEO of a company called Gumroad, wrote that the company had achieved financial stability using AI: “replacing every manual process with an automated one, by pushing all marginal costs to the customer, and having almost no employees.” www.wired.com/story/doge-d...

In response to WIRED’s questions, Lavingia responded by email saying, “Sorry, I'm not going to answer these, besides to say I'm unpaid. And a fan of your work!” If ya'll are also fans of us, here's how you can support our journalism: wrd.cm/superfan-blu...
