I Watched 6 Hours of DOGE Bro Testimony. Here's What They Had to Say For Themselves The hours of videos provide fascinating, or perhaps horrifying, insight into the thinking of someone inside DOGE.

I have watched 6 hours of a DOGE bro deposition. The whole thing, start to finish. It's a fascinating, and horrifying, look at the people who caused so much damage, didn't really achieve anything at all, while still being so sure they are right. Here's what they said: www.404media.co/i-watched-6-...

Reform plans β€˜ideological purge’ of Whitehall | The Observer Fears the party will pack civil service with β€˜believers’ rather than the brightest and the best if it wins election

The key to Reform's planning for power is that the strong view of party insiders that the model for a Farage government is "be much more like Trump's second term than his first'

But its a significant political risk - because Trump is unpopular and Trump 2.0 is toxic

Donald Trump letting you know how the authoritarian capture of the media is going, in case you missed it. Unlike other authoritarians in places like Hungary and Poland he has no worries about advertising his authoritarian take over of the media.

Trump melts down when his "rigged election" lies are debunked to his face.

He snaps, β€œYou’re a rotten reporter!” after she factually points out that his own Attorney General, Bill Barr, stated that the Department of Justice uncovered no evidence of voter fraud in the 2020 election.

Elon Musk is now worth $845 billion.

Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025.

Meanwhile, nearly a quarter of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and household debt has risen to a record high.

See the problem here?

Net Zero Costs Less Than One Fossil Fuel Shock, UK’s CCC Says The cost of meeting net zero is less than a single fossil fuel price shock, the UK’s official climate adviser said.

UK's Climate Change Committee has some of the smartest minds working on modeling the costs of how to get to net zero. And this assessment is likley to be applicable to any fossil-fuel import dependent country.

Given Trump's illegal war that is devastating the Middle East and pushing up energy bills, Keir Starmer should advise the King to call off April’s state visit to the US.

A state visit should not be given to someone who repeatedly insults and damages our country.

Winston Churchill quite literally asked the Americans to overthrow the very popular socialist Iranian government in 1953 because Churchill wanted the UK to keep extracting Iran’s oil wealth without paying for it.

It turns out the U.S. did a β€œdouble tap” attack just as emergency responders were arriving at the girls’ elementary school. This is what the Russians do routinely in Ukraine.

Oil built the Persian Gulf. Desalinated water keeps it alive. War could threaten both As the Iran war widens, experts say the Middle East’s real strategic weak point may be water β€” not oil.

"In Kuwait, about 90% of drinking water comes from desalination, along with roughly 86% in Oman and about 70% in Saudi Arabia"

Homeschooling has surged in South Carolina, with little oversight. That’s how families like it. Today, the lion’s share of homeschoolers in SC β€” 97 percent β€” are educated under laws that require no government confirmation of learning.

#scpol #SouthCarolina The system reflects a policy choice: Maximize parental rights even if it means the state doesn’t know whether homeschooled children are learning.
