Interested in how journalism is conducted in digital newsrooms? Then this new article - by @janniehartley.bsky.social and @nannathylstrup.bsky.social - is a mustread.

Earlier this week, I was asked to tell my colleagues about the hashtag#NAMS25 conference. As part of my process, I tested a YouTube transcription tool, Notebook.lm, Canva, Pinpoint, ChatGPT, GPTs, etc. This is what I learned…

Maybe “experts shake their heads” should be considered a automated prefix for every news article concerning Trump’s politics at the moment.

Selvfølgelig skal vi kigge på begge dele. For mig er det et problem, at det bliver sort/hvidt, fordi der reelt forgår utroligt meget der er fællesskabsdannende og oplysende, og hvis vi afviser dét uden at forholde os - eller have været på platformen… det synes jeg helt ærligt godt man kan kritisere

Helt ærligt, det synes jeg faktisk ikke. Jeg har en helt, helt anden oplevelse både som forsker og bruger af det, der foregår på TikTok end det særligt politikere, men også medier, beskriver. Hvis man lovgiver om some, så mener jeg man, eller i det mindste ens rådgivere, bør have brugt platformen.

Jeg er så helt utroligt træt af voksne mennesker, der brokker sig over TikTok uden at have været der. Kulturministeren talte også om en platform for dansevideoer i januar. Det er ligeså boomer-agtigt, som at tale om 'billeder af morgenmad på insta'. Lav i det mindste jeres research.

Scatterplot titled “Empirical Evidence of Ideological Targeting in Federal Layoffs: Agencies seen as liberal are significantly more likely to face DOGE layoffs.”
	•	The x-axis represents Perceived Ideological Leaning of federal agencies, ranging from -2 (Most Liberal) to +2 (Most Conservative), based on survey responses from over 1,500 federal executives.
	•	The y-axis shows Agency Size (Number of Staff) on a logarithmic scale from 1,000 to 1,000,000.

Each point represents a federal agency:
	•	Red dots indicate agencies that experienced DOGE layoffs.
	•	Gray dots indicate agencies with no layoffs.

Key Observations:
	•	Liberal-leaning agencies (left side of the plot) are disproportionately represented among red dots, indicating higher layoff rates.
	•	Notable targeted agencies include:
	•	HHS (Health & Human Services)
	•	EPA (Environmental Protection Agency)
	•	NIH (National Institutes of Health)
	•	CFPB (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau)
	•	Dept. of Education
	•	USAID (U.S. Agency for International Development)
	•	The National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE), despite its conservative leaning (+1 on the scale), is an exception among targeted agencies.
	•	A notable outlier: the Department of Veterans Affairs (moderately conservative) also faced layoffs despite its size.

Takeaway:

The figure visually demonstrates that DOGE layoffs disproportionately targeted liberal-leaning agencies, supporting claims of ideological bias. The pattern reveals that layoffs were not driven by agency size or budget alone but were strongly associated with perceived ideology.

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️
