Succeed at what? For example, they canceled invasive species control programs for the Great Lakes. Is it a success that they saved a modest amount of money, while letting the condition of the lakes further erode?

Look up the "network state": * https://thenetworkstate.com/preamble > All of these men see themselves as the heroes or protagonists in their own sci-fi saga. And a key part of being a “technological superman” — or ubermensch, as the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche would say — is that you’re above the law. Common-sense morality doesn’t apply to you because you’re a sup…

Yep, here's a pretty good summary:

Indeed I believe that the current administration's end-goal is the collapse of the US as we know it. Thiel and other billionaires need the collapse to create their own cyberpunk states inside current US territory. The remaining territory will be probably taken by Project 2025 guys, who want to rule it as a Christian theocracy / far-right utopia.

Careful, your tinfoil hat is a bit creased.

All you have to do is look at how Trump is treating Zelenskyy and praising Putin to know that he's in Putin's hip pocket, either out of stupidity or is an actual asset that they have компромат on

Implying that DOGE bozo is law-compliant while breaking laws and destroying trust is...humor too soon?

Seems like a case of "a broken clock is right twice a day"

Similarly, wearing a seatbelt on your way to assassinate somebody.

None of the info listed is classified or secret. This article reeks of disinformation.

Did anything other than your gut reaction tell you that the information was classified or secret? I take issue with your use of the word "disinformation". This whole thing is a nothing burger, to be clear.

Works created by U.S. federal government employees as part of their official duties are in the public domain, according to 17 U.S.C. § 105, except for classified or restricted information (but none of what he posted is classified or restricted)

Can one request all of the code this dude has written or is it as his discretion what is released to the public domain?

This is such a lame comment. He's looking at publicly available geospatial data, not trying to build a bomb.

He's not looking at, he's gathering

I gather things like this all the time. I'm against DOGE as much as 90% of the US is, but collection of open data for curiosity and interest is really not a thing to focus on.

What a weird thing to say. They are slashing and burning government and routing the permanent bureaucracy of democrats that run the country no matter who wins the election. That’s simply what the GOP has been promising to do for decades, but has been too feckless to do until now.

> the permanent bureaucracy of democrats

That’s ridiculous on the face of it, unless you think GOP appointed heads of agencies have been in on it, and that there has been a massive conspiracy for years with no real evidence leaking.

A surprisingly large amount of data one might think is classified is not at all. In this case all the examples listed are from freely available public data outside of the Twitter thing which seems to be just setting up the environment for some local tool. Here are the sites: --- datacatalog.worldbank.org opendata.arcgis.com mrdata.usgs.gov / www.usgs.gov --- Sharing things like this isn't very useful because it just…

Yeah the "sensitive geospatial data" is just open data. He also created the geospatial gists before trump was in office so he definitely didn't have access to critical data then https://web.archive.org/web/20250228230950/https://gist.gith...

The problem is, compiling the list like he has, and being on the DOGE team, makes it all very, very suspicious. And it is sensitive data - even if it is open. Those are important infrastructure locations.
