Not The Onion

Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

DOGE? Like......the 2012 dog meme/cryptocurrency? I'm so confused what is happening here.

Department of Government Efficiency. Headed by Elon Musk, the guy responsible for sending that crypto coin to the moon with a single tweet. This is America now. One big meme.

You somehow gave a complete answer that answered my question, and still left me even more confused.

DOGE as in musk’s Department of Government Efficiency.

The, uh, illegal and unconstitutional “advisory” board that was set up to give oligarchs a seat at the table.

Gonna get a LOT of mileage out of that one sentence.

You could say that's pretty... efficient

That's the idea
