@kimzetter I didn't say you said that. The article have this line though:
"As federal agencies, *under the direction of DOGE*, continue to fire thousands of workers"
Also I read phrases like:
- "driven out"
- "pushed out"
- "sidelined" (in the Politico article)
I'm curious how this all looks in practice, incl. what formal authority DOGE has (e.g. can they formally direct agencies to do things?). Based on previous discussions my current understanding is that DOGE has no formal power, while people with actual power (e.g. management in agencies) make dumb decisions because DOGE looked them the wrong way.
I hope I am wrong. Based on the general quality of your reporting I hope you could explain the situation better or point me to some good resource.
