Okay somehow it's Friday and somehow we made it (congrats!) 🤯 To make the doomscroll easier, here's a thread of all the wild stuff we learned this week, starting with @brbarrett.bsky.social's analysis on why DOGE *is* the deep state (and Elon Musk's extended universe.)

wired.comDOGE Is the Deep StateA shadowy group of unelected figures reshaping the federal government to their own benefit from the inside? Sounds familiar!
And like, oops: A now-deleted list containing hundreds of US government properties GSA plans to sell (under DOGE's vision) includes most of a highly sensitive federal complex that also houses a secretive CIA facility, WIRED has learned. 🫥

And guess what? Social security workers aren't allowed to read this story :( Why? New internet restrictions at the embattled SSA have cut off access to WIRED, along with other “general news” websites like The Washington Post and The New York Times.
