We will see what the final numbers are, and of course we don't know what musk has in store after. But I can't overstate how many fed workers have told me they've been radicalized by DOGE to stay put in their jobs

LATE BREAKING UPDATE After our story was published, Booz Allen said it had “removed” a subcontractor who wrote the warning and would seek to retract or amend it. “The draft report was prepared by a subcontractor to Booz Allen and contained unauthorized personal opinions that are not factual or consistent with our standards,” company spokesperson Jessica Klenk said. Booz Allen won more than $1 billion in multiyear U.S. government contracts last year.

So they're rehiring the racist-tweeting 25 yr old that they pushed to resign and casting themselves as driven by the spirit of forgiveness as they tell the congressman who asked for an apology for the racist tweets that they're disgusted by him—all while the other guy on the team stands accused of sharing information with a competitor and another guy on the team stands accused of amplifying white supremacists online?

Trump megadonor Steve Wynn has filed a petition asking the Supreme Court to overturn the landmark 1964 decision in New York Times v. Sullivan, which protects the media's ability to aggressively cover public officials.

this young man—a kid, really—made a mistake. And how could he not? One makes stupid, even racist, social media posts when they're not savvy in the ways of the world. He's just a kid. And so... We must bring him back to have power over our Treasury payment system

Twitter in a nutshell * Some random guy has been barking at me for years, DMing me regularly to say what a POS I am. * I, an idiot, finally decide i've had enough. I call him to explain i'm not a POS. * Random guy refuses to answer the phone or call back. *Months later he DMs again to tell me I'm a POS * Says he would love to "debate me" but still refuses to call
