SCOOP: DOGE wants to rebuild SSA's codebase in months, risking benefits and system collapse, sources tell me. The plan is to migrate all systems off COBOL quickly which would likely require the use of generative AI. www.wired.com/story/doge-r...

DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Codebase In Months, Risking Benefits and System Collapse
Social Security systems contain tens of millions of lines of code written in COBOL, an archaic programming language. Safely rewriting that code would take years—DOGE wants it done in months.

This isn’t just anti-DEI, removing people they think were celebrated only because of their color or gender. It is saying that no matter how truly important one’s achievements, if you aren’t a white male you don’t matter. www.axios.com/local/salt-l...

If the Supreme Court ultimately agrees with what the gov't is arguing today, that the President has broad Article II powers that would permit it to deport people & there can be no judicial review, then literally no one is safe.

One of the big questions with coups is who the military sides with. It's a big question now. Does the firing of a whole lot of leadership make the military now more malleable, or does it anger and alienate a lot of people down the chain of command? www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com Listening to your conversation with Nick Kristof and wondering why no one is saying the quiet part out loud? A common denominator among many people impacted by the US Aid cuts is that they are black and brown. And that’s why this racist administration couldn’t care less.
