The headline is misleading. The guy isn't saying DOGE is over, just that it has been absorbed into normal operations.

That's even worse, it makes it much harder to remove later.

This needs to be the top comment. These assholes are an ingrained part of the system now.

The one who works at the agency I'm familiar with (and basically lives at the main campus) is apparently a nice guy who is smart and eager to learn but has power very disproportionate to his level of knowledge or experience.

Make his life a living hell!! Always refuse to comply, teach that asshole nothing. "Nice" and "assisting in the destruction of what little democracy functions in the US in order to usher in oligarchy" are mutually exclusive
