— The Bulwark (@BulwarkOnline) August 12, 2025 Doge staffers were tasked with identifying the federal bodies and projects they considered wasteful, and one measure of that wastefulness was whether – in the staffers’ opinion – they promoted diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), which was made illegal by a Trump executive order. Doge is now being sued by the American Council of Learned Societies, the American Historical Association, and the Modern Language Association for discrimination and eroding the US historical record. During his deposition for the lawsuit, one Doge staffer, Justin Fox, was asked to define DEI. His response was on a par with a four-year-old trying to explain the Theory of Relativity, but without the cute factor.
