Kara Swisher on DOGE: ‘It’s Basically Rank Incompetence Not to Be Able to Keep Track of What You’re Doing’

EXCERPT:

SWISHER: “Yeah, because they love transparency. That’s how they like to do this. I mean, look, they just don’t — a lot of this is performative. A lot of it is inaccurate. If you’re being kind, it’s inaccurate and sloppy. If you’re being unkind, its mendacious and cosplaying that they’re doing something that they’re not doing and causing people to suffer. I mean, it’s just — it’s basically rank incompetence, not to be able to keep track of what you’re doing. There’s plenty of reform of the federal government that could be done if you just be honest about it. But having to make these large claims because they’ve made so many large promises is what they’re doing, and therefore they’re making things up. That’s pretty much it. And David Fahrenthold, The New York Times has done a great job because David Fahrenthold can do math, actually.”
