Techdirt is a news site that has written about the tech revolution for 27 years. Lately, it's writing government stories. Mike Masnick, the site's founder, explains that's because Trump's DOGE is the tech story they've been covering for years. "We've seen how technology can be wielded to consolidate power, how institutional guardrails can be circumvented through technical and legal workarounds, and how smoke and mirrors claims about "innovation" can mask old-fashioned power grabs. It's a playbook we watched Musk perfect at Twitter, and now we're seeing it deployed on a national scale," Masnick writes. "When the very institutions that made American innovation possible are being systematically dismantled, it's not a "political" story anymore. It's a story about whether the environment that enabled all the other stories we cover will continue to exist." read more

Dave Nershi was finalizing a report he'd worked on for months when an ominous email appeared in his inbox. Nershi had worked as a general engineer for the Internal Revenue Service for about nine months. He was one of hundreds of specialists inside the IRS who used their technical expertise -- Nershi's background is in chemical and nuclear engineering -- to audit byzantine tax returns filed by large corporations and wealthy individuals. Until recently, the IRS had a shortage of these experts, and many complex tax returns went unscrutinized. With the help of people like Nershi, the IRS could recoup millions and sometimes more than a billion dollars on a single tax return. But on Feb. 20, three months shy of finishing his probationary period and becoming a full-time employee, the IRS fired him. read more
