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.)

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. 🫥

We also put together an interactive map of the hundreds of government buildings the GSA plans to sell (in a now-deleted list they published on Tuesday.) Use our interactive tools to see where they are—and the congressional districts they're in: www.wired.com/story/map-fo...

What next, what next... oh right: Documents obtained by WIRED show the US Department of Defense is considering cutting up to 75 percent of workers who stop the spread of chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons.

Also, a deep dive into Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, who has long held anti-surveillance views. Now she oversees a key surveillance program she once tried to dismantle.
