White House leaks
Just moments before the blowup with Mr. Rubio, Mr. Musk and the transportation secretary, Sean Duffy, went back and forth about the state of the Federal Aviation Administration’s equipment for tracking airplanes and what kind of fix is needed. Howard Lutnick, the commerce secretary, jumped in to support Mr. Musk.
Mr. Duffy said the young staff of DOGE was trying to lay off air traffic controllers. What am I supposed to do? Mr. Duffy said. I have multiple plane crashes to deal with now, and your people want me to fire air traffic controllers?ttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/07/us/politics/trump-musk-doge-power.htmlMarco Rubio was incensed. Here he was in the Cabinet Room of the White House, the secretary of state, seated beside the president and listening to a litany of attacks from the richest man in the world.
Seated diagonally opposite, across the elliptical mahogany table, Elon Musk was letting Mr. Rubio have it, accusing him of failing to slash his staff.
You have fired “nobody,” Mr. Musk told Mr. Rubio, then scornfully added that perhaps the only person he had fired was a staff member from his Department of Government Efficiency.

In its apparent quest to cut government spending and improve efficiency, DOGE has fired entire tech teams devoted to those very things.
Since Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency took over important government technology teams within the General Services Administration (GSA) and what was formally known as the United States Digital Service (USDS), around 200 technologists have either resigned or been fired, jeopardizing about a decade’s worth of work dedicated to everything from public health to passport applications.

from the NYT article linked above
Already Trump is beginning to get a bit of cold feet, and self-doubting.
Reminds one of Thornton there "Tombstone" ..."Christ, it's like playin' cards with my sister's kids!"
What, he didn't think, or, know that they'd come after him with every thing they got? He didn't figure that out after the first 4 years?
He didn't steel himself?
Hope & pray he's playin' possum.
ADDENDUM: & he's going to have to watch Rubio 24/7. He is not vested, whatsoever. He wanted that SS job, that name plate and that's all. He's going to call Trump everything but a White man when he leaves the Presidency.
"I had no idea what he was up to. I thought I could work from the inside and do what was right and honorable and hold him back. I apologize to the American people and promise to return to my roots."

"...Federal spending cuts under President Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency have hit federal contractors, and a San Antonio-headquartered company, again. This time, more than 650 employees with a company that hires caregivers for military medical facilities are losing their jobs....."

We knew all along you guys/ Trump don't give a about military/veterans. Sad this is the way they are finding out

For Kelly Shaw, unemployment is unfamiliar territory. "I've never been in this situation before. I've never been fired," Shaw said, suddenly quiet, while seated at her kitchen table in Northern Virginia.
Nearly three years ago, the longtime senior intelligence analyst left the Navy, after being recruited by the nation's top cyber defense agency and rising up through the ranks. Eventually, Shaw helped establish a congressionally mandated program designed to continuously monitor and detect cyber breaches of the nation's power grid, pipelines and water system – installing sensors across critical infrastructure designed to detect insider threats and foreign adversaries like China, Russia and Iran....
....Shaw was among the first recruits to the "CTMS" program, entering with 12 years of government service, two master degrees in electrical engineering and cybersecurity, plus at least nine different specialized cyber certifications. ....

You doge fans really okay with this type of cutting? Feel free to chime in

Lol "an investigation". He'll never be open and transparent with that.

Meh they can just Google how to fight fires
Bingo.
https://thehustle.co/originals/why-layoffs-dont-workWhy layoffs don’t work
...
Some of these issues stem from the fact that a company that does layoffs is typically in distressed shape already. But experts have found several other reasons for why layoffs lead to negative results:
- Mass layoffs are often symptoms of unsound business strategies and don’t do anything to cure the larger problem.
- Absent significant strategy changes, productivity declines with fewer employees.
- Companies routinely replace laid off employees (who often receive severance) with expensive consultants or hire contractors for similar wages, reducing the cost savings.
- Companies must invest to train current workers to pick up new tasks — and invest to recruit replacement employees after the economy improves or the company’s financial troubles clear up.
As they recruit, these companies often find their reputation has been damaged among potential applicants, says Wayne Cascio, a professor emeritus at the University of Colorado Denver who’s researched layoffs for decades. “If they have two offers and one is with a company that just had layoffs last year and another one is with a company that hasn’t had layoffs, which one are you going to pick?”
Plus, the employees who survive layoffs grow discontent with the company and burn out faster as they handle more tasks, Cascio adds, leading to expensive voluntary worker exits.

DOGE isn't reform or rational downsizing, it's vandalism
the point is to wreck the capacity of the USG and amplify graft, to turn it into a giant patronage machine run by the president, who financially controls everything and reduces the US Congress to an advisory capacity
the Polish Foreign Minister
God dam what a . His day is coming at this rate.the Polish Foreign Minister
Of course, he's a dork gamer that just bought the United States so the trash talking tracks
I recall you called him/Musk everything but a White man when you heartily believed he wouldn't dispense the Starlink system vs. Russia. Oh, it was just a calamity. Then when he did dispense it, we could hear a pin drop every single day that ends in (y) since.
"Who's the wild man now!"
"....If Dan Wenk had been fired during his first year in a permanent job with the National Park Service, the agency would’ve lost his many later accomplishments.
He would not have gone on to help lead a public-private partnership that raised $75 million to redevelop visitor facilities at Mount Rushmore National Memorial, or a $300 million negotiation to improve amenities at Yellowstone National Park with private funds, or the acquisition of the United Flight 93 crash site in Pennsylvania for a national memorial...."

Stupid ing morons
Let's see what the old man does with the windfall (a public accounting) before throwing the baby out with the bath water.
".....SpaceX on Wednesday scrubbed the expected launch of a replacement crew of four astronauts to the International Space Station that would have set in motion the long-awaited homecoming of U.S. astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, who have been stuck in space for nine months after a trip on Boeing's faulty Starliner.
SpaceX called off the flight over a last-minute technical issue with the rocket's launchpad, officials said on a livestream of the launch countdown...."

What a waste of my tax dollar.
...Amen.
OH NO THOSE TWO ASTRONAUTS ARE MORE STRANDED IN SPACE AND NOW ELON ALONE IS TO BLAME!
The technical issue is his rockets keep exploding.
