DOGE exists to help the extraction class disguise corruption, cronyism, and the brutal dismantling of consumer protection, labor rights, and the social safety net as as "innovative efficiency reforms" and from everything I've seen the U.S. press is super keen to help support the illusion

I think journalists, policymakers and good govt types are struggling to understand DOGE because their mental model is that it is a government reform commission, operating like previous ones. Maybe. But it might be better to start thinking about it as a hostile takeover of the govt by oligarchs.

All they want to do is take money from programs that help people and funnel it into the pockets of Musk and trump and whoever else they want to bribe.
