Excerpts from Michael Lewis on DOGE (Guardian article). 1. Gavin Kliger, white nationalist, refused to shake hands with the Black IRS staffer who briefed him on privacy issues. Or pay attention. Kliger now has a defense start-up valued at 1.4B thanks to DOGE. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Phyllis, who loved working for Kathleen and saw falling on hand grenades as part of her job, never told her how this one had felt. She knew Gavin had expressed enthusiasm for white nationalists, and he likely knew that she knew. She tried to break the ice by walking in with her hand extended; Gavin stared at it and declined to shake it, though he had shaken the hands of the white men who had offered them. “He was kind of cool towards me,” said Phyllis. Before she could even start the briefing, he said, You know, I’ve heard these rules before at other agencies. Yes, she said, but these rules are different, because no other agency is governed by this privacy law, and this law can get you thrown in jail very quickly. As she walked him through the basics – how you can’t use your personal phone for business, how if you happen to so much as glimpse a form 1040 with someone’s name on it you must avert your eyes – Gavin played on his phone. “He’s multitasking right in front of me, typing and texting,” said Phyllis. “It was, here’s a routine that I must endure.”

New from me: Michael Lewis provides a timely reminder that even the heroic federal employees who tried to block DOGE grifters could only do so much. If DOGE could not be stopped at the time, accountability must be on the agenda for the future. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/blockers-a...

And POLLING is fucking labor-intensive, involving call centers and statisticians. Imagine if newsrooms spent that kind of money on actually reporting on the issues that people care about

Mike Elk @mikeelk.bsky.social · 10h

I hate POLLING because it focuses political coverage on who the winners and losers are- no one wants to be a loser. Polling addresses people's insecurity about whether they will win, rather than exploring principles and ideas - where they are popular or not.

Lula's decision to skip debates, I think backfired on him. He's preaching to the choir (and getting record crowds 1 million in Copa), but social media doesn't allow you to easily reach outside of your silo.

Padre Vidal Rivas came to Maryland to be a priest. Now, he's ready to care for the children of parishioners who risk deportation. “I would take them to the doctor ... I would change Pampers. I was their father.” My latest: www.thebanner.com/politics-pow...

Who cares for children of deported parents? This priest has signed up to take on 31.

This Takoma Park priest has agreed to be the standby guardian for 31 children amid the Trump administration’s aggressive campaign to expel immigrants.
