Democracy ain’t looking so hot these days. Between the near-constant reports of people being deported to El Salvador extrajudicially for having Autism Awareness tattoos and President Trump threatening the country with an unconstitutional third term, it’s pretty safe to say that the damage done today will probably outlive us all. That’s all well and good for the losers in the future, but DOGE is firing people today. Thousands of federal workers were on the wrong side of Trump’s old catchphrase as the administration made America great again by slashing jobs across the government and putting Americans out of work. Curiously, despite the next-level fuck up from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth last week, no one on that notorious war planning text chain is on the chopping block. Is that because they did nothing wrong or because they knew how to respond to DOGE’s “five things you did this week” email challenge? Jon Stewart thinks it’s the former.
