This is Behind the Blog, where we share our behind-the-scenes thoughts about how a few of our top stories of the week came together. This week, we discuss traveling for reporting and watching way too much DOGE bros.
JOSEPH: I just wanted to write some brief notes about the DOGE depositions and the piece I Watched 6 Hours of DOGE Bro Testimony. Here’s What They Had to Say For Themselves. Much of the reason I managed to watch all of this testimony was because I was on a couple of long flights this week. On the first flight, I saw the Justin Fox deposition on YouTube. I started watching it and recording the timestamps of interesting parts, and passed those over to our social manager Evy who then cut them into videos which have since been shared pretty widely.
