This is Justin Fox, a former DOGE staffer assigned to the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) who said his job was to review and flag grants for “DEI” which would then go to superiors for termination under Trump’s Executive Order.

This deposition is part of a lawsuit filed by the American Council of Learned Societies, the American History Association, and the Modern Language Association. They say Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) used ChatGPT to process to identify DEl programs to inform decisions to terminate grants awarded by the NEH.

Here is Fox attempting to answer questions about what DEI is.

        This story doesn’t even get into the problems from before 2020. The rabbit hole is fucking deep, and the systemic problems at TBPS well documented. As mentioned, this story is only the final episode in an award winning documentary series. The TBPS is a shit show.

        1. Everything is “obvious” to this idiot.

        2. “The Patsy” sounds like a mafia-themed speakeasy where one of each party gets the bill and no one sees it coming.
