Who is the Administrator of the United States DOGE service?
No one seems to know.
After a hearing on DOGE access to Treasury payment systems, @tylermcbrien.bsky.social and I asked one of the DOJ attorneys who argued on behalf of the administration.
“I don’t know the answer to that,” he replied.

Getting word that a few hospitals are offering trans care again after the EO was blocked by a federal judge.
Please send the decision to your hospital, and PLEASE send me a message if your hospital has resumed care, as I’m doing a story on this.

Dems should propose a law that immediately requires every fed agency to post on @bsky.app account, every outlay with a detailed description, $, and a link to existing gov sites with in depth details
Rather than trying to keep Elon out, pre-empt him so he cant miss characterize spending.

Israel Admits It Violated The Ceasefire And Hamas Did Not
Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):
Israel Admits It Violated The Ceasefire And Hamas Did Not
So it’s been established beyond a doubt that Israel is to blame for the precarious state of the ceasefire today. That’s not coming from me, it’s coming from inside the Israeli government and military.

Terminally Ill People Languish in North Carolina Prisons, Even After Reforms
State lawmakers expanded the law for people seeking medical release from prison, but eligibility remains limited.
James Davis, diagnosed with stage-four cancer, is ineligible for medical release in North Carolina due to his conviction. "Cancer’ll kill me in prison," he says, as he faces the reality of dying behind bars.

Education Department staff warned that Trump buyout offers could be canceled at any time
In a staffwide meeting Wednesday, leaders of the Education Department told employees the Trump administration’s resignation offer comes with major caveats.
"The Administration would be allowed to rescind the agreement, or the government could stop paying, and employees who took the resignation package would waive all legal claims... 'It sounded like a commercial for a used car dealership, like, ‘Act now, 1 day only’...”

Was literally talking to the union representing federal air traffic controllers earlier today about how there’s already a major shortage of air traffic controllers and the resignation offers they all just got from OPM could seriously endanger public safety.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

So teaching about racism, and this country's history of slavery, white supremacy, and genocide is now interpreted to violate the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
But this seems more geared toward ending any kind of federal funding for education.
