contradicts what the government's lawyers are saying in court
President Trump: "DOGE ... which is headed by Elon Musk who is in the gallery tonight."
Lol the lawyers all screaming "NOOOO"
well, not the plaintiffs' lawyers
DOGE is agitprop and an autocoup
DOGE doesn't care about the deficit, it just wants to strengthen DJT's hand against everybody
https://www.propublica.org/article/h...p-musk-deficitUnlike with other federal agencies, cutting the IRS means the government collects less money and finds fewer tax abuses. Economic studies have shown that for every dollar spent by the IRS, the agency returns between $5 and $12, depending on how much income the taxpayer declared. A 2024 report by the nonpartisan Government Accountability Office found that the IRS found savings of $13,000 for every additional hour spent auditing the tax returns of very wealthy taxpayers — a return on investment that “would leave Wall Street hedge fund managers drooling,” in the words of the Ins ute on Taxation and Economic Policy.
John Koskinen, who led the IRS from 2013 to 2017, said in an interview that the widespread cuts to the IRS make no sense if Trump and Musk genuinely care about fiscal responsibility and rooting out waste, fraud and abuse.
“What I’ve never understood is if you’re interested in the deficit and curbing it, why would you cut back on the revenue side?” Koskinen said.
No doubt an opposite type of scream from the plaintiffswell, not the plaintiffs' lawyers
They didn't waste any time
fashy footsie

They backtracked, first editing it down to ~300 or so properties then removing the list entirely -- it's not there todayso now they're putting USG property up for sale -- probably trying attract grifters to buy it on the cheap and lease it back to the USG

Dumbasses
Can't be reiterated enough.
DOGE is absolutely not about efficiency, but about frightening federal workers into getting into goose-ste ... er lock-step with Trump's illegal executive decisions.
DOGE planning to cut 80,000 jobs from the VA.
Just crazy. They really don't care about our veterans. This is going to hurt us here in San Antonio.
the target of Trump's revenge tour is ordinary Americans
+ Lemon, Acosta, and Fredo no longer on the CNN.
tee, hee.
cancelling leases willy-nilly
https://www.kob.com/news/top-news/wi...der-doge-cuts/As the Department of Government Efficiency continues cost-cutting, there was confusion Tuesday about a nuclear waste facility in Carlsbad – will the office that oversees it close?
Employees at the Skeen-Whitlock building oversee the storage of nuclear waste that is processed and stored at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in Carlsbad. Their job is to make sure it’s done safely and correctly to avoid spills or leaks. It’s a separate campus from the actual storage facility.
Democratic U.S. Rep. Gabe Vasquez sounded the alarm Tuesday morning about the building getting put on the list. He said there are a few New Mexico buildings on the chopping block but cutting one that oversees nuclear waste could be dangerous.
“We’re demanding that the Department of Energy and the General Service Administration give us answers as to a definitive closing date for this particular facility or tell us that they made a mistake. [I’m] Hoping that the latter is true, they made a mistake by putting this facility on the list,” Vasquez said. “The impacts of national security potential pollutants and contamination from radioactive elements that are in these barrels is going to be a recipe for a disaster that we never want to see in this country.”
Rep. Vasquez calls these cuts unpredictable and irresponsible. There are still a lot of unknowns right now.
As of 5 p.m. Tuesday, the DOGE website listed the office. However, KOB 4 received this statement Tuesday afternoon from Richard Lopez, the mayor of Carlsbad:
“Thank you for reaching out regarding the Skeen-Whitlock building lease. Initially, it seemed the lease was at risk. However, I learned today that the miscommunication has been resolved, and the lease remains intact. The Waste Isolation Pilot Plant plays a vital role in our national safety and security, and the Department of Energy is integral to our community’s operations. We are pleased this issue has been resolved in a way that benefits Carlsbad and those who rely on these facilities.”
Even after we received this, we saw the DOGE website still listed the office, its annual leasing price and how much would be saved if the lease was cut.
"don't comply"
otoh, legislators are trying to advise El0n about duly passed appropriations as if they lay at his discretion

Yeah but he's not in charge of DOGE
isn't he, though?
He is when it's going great. He's not when liability pops up. He's been given the trumplican play book
