What's hilarious is that it's an upgrade for Katie Miller
Musk is a killer

comparing Trump to Hitler is passé
Musk/Trump might even surpass Stallin and Mao when all the bodies are counted, putting them more or less in their own category

i think it is fine to stigmatize being blitzed out of your mind on russian research chemicals originally invented to deice hovercraft skirts while single-handedly running the US government (which you purchased)

our reps and senators voted for and we already paid for, Trump/DOGE has spoiled
They got it backA court hearing is ongoing over the attempted transfer of the $500M headquarters of the U.S. Ins ute of Peace, an independent think tank, to the government at no cost.
USIP's counsel Andrew Goldfarb said that he learned about the transfer how the rest of the world did: through court papers.

rendering US agencies unable to perform core functions does not necessarily save money
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...d-report-warnsSo many managers and lawyers have left the US federal government’s housing agency this year that there may not be sufficient staff to perform core government functions, according to an internal do ent seen by Bloomberg CityLab.
The confidential report from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Office of General Counsel warns that the loss of lawyers due to staff cuts and early resignations is “significantly increasing litigation risk and the risk of fraud, waste and abuse” across housing programs.
DOGE as an ideological purge
Democracy operates across time and ins utions, but Trumplandia acts like only the most recent election winner represents the people's will
If winning the last election gave DJT the right to remake the whole of government in his image, whoever wins the next one can remake it again in theirs -- and should. Whoever swore loyalty to a man above the cons ution and the country should be purged from government
DOGE wrecked public capacity

former DOGE-er spills the tea
https://www.npr.org/2025/06/02/nx-s1...t-cutting-unitA former employee of the Department of Government Efficiency says that he found that the federal waste, fraud and abuse that his agency was supposed to uncover were "relatively nonexistent" during his short time embedded within the Department of Veterans Affairs.
"I personally was pretty surprised, actually, at how efficient the government was," Sahil Lavingia told NPR's Juana Summers.
Lavingia was a successful software developer and the founder of Gumroad, a platform for online sales, when he joined DOGE in March. Lavingia said he had previously sought to work for the U.S. Digital Service, the technology unit that was renamed and restructured by the Trump administration. He told NPR that he just wanted to make government websites easier for citizens to use and didn't really care which presidential administration he was working for, despite protests from his friends and family.
Lavingia said the overall message at DOGE was transparency and a vibe of "ask for forgiveness, not permission." So, when a blogger asked for an interview about Gumroad, he agreed. And when asked, he talked about his work at DOGE, including how little inefficiency he saw compared to what he was expecting.
"Elon [Musk] was pretty clear about how he wanted DOGE to be maximally transparent," Lavingia said. "That's something he said a lot in private. And publicly. And so I thought, OK, cool, I'll take him at his word. I will be transparent."
Shortly after the interview was published online, Lavingia got an email. Just 55 days into his work at DOGE, his access had been revoked.
TRUMP: DOES NOT KNOW IF MUSK HAD DRUGS AT WHITE HOUSE
DOGE has been running the GSA, which handles all the building leases
Earlier this year, DOGE illegally commandeered the USIP -- a private nonprofit -- and stole their building
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...-b2762198.html“Anyone who manages large commercial buildings understands that maintenance is not something you can just stop doing for two months,” O’Brien told The Independent. “After DOGE took over, they canceled a lot of contracts and critical functions stopped happening.”
Rodents became a problem because DOGE employees neglected to clear out any of the food left on the premises after taking over, O’Brien explained. USIP had a cafe managed by a contractor, with food being stored onsite, he said. Additionally, O’Brien said, USIP personnel had food in refrigerators throughout the building, along with snack items they didn’t have a chance to remove from desks and cabinets before DOGE summarily booted them from the property.
Over the next eight weeks, DOGE wouldn't let any USIP staff in the building, and didn't do anything to prevent the moldering food from spoiling further, which quickly attracted vermin.
Roaches were also attracted to the abandoned perishables throughout the space, entering through wastewater and drainage pipes that had dried up from lack of use, O’Brien said.
“There were several water leaks, as well, that contributed to their ability to come into the building,” he added.
Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency managed only a fraction of its promised spending reductions, while crippling a raft of vital government programs.
Beyond the various infestations, O’Brien recalled that, among other things, ceiling tiles were mysteriously missing throughout the building, water damage was rampant, vehicle barriers had become non-operational, and weeds were growing in the cooling tower on the roof – a potential vector for Legionnaires’ disease. Since the location was left without adequate security, graffiti also appeared on an exterior wall.
“These things can turn into major, $100,000-plus repairs for lack of maintenance,” O’Brien said. “Now we’re in a rush to play catchup.”
However, according to O’Brien, the issues “went beyond maintenance.”
“They ripped the main logo off the wall when you come into the lobby, and while we have most of the parts back, would you be surprised that we’re still missing four letters: U, S, I, and P?” O’Brien said. “That’s not coincidental.”
More than a dozen USIP flags were also removed from their flagpoles and remain unaccounted for, which O’Brien believes were taken, along with the USIP logo remnants, as “war trophies.”
He called the situation “uncharted,” and struggles to accurately put into words the mix of emotions he felt upon walking back into the USIP building.
“The closest thing you can compare this to is McCarthyism, and even that pales in comparison to the total destruction that is occurring right now,” O’Brien said.
