As the DOGE turns.

[BabyBoomer50s]

Which? I think there has been more than one.

The federal employee deferred resignation program that public sector unions and Democrats tried to block has been deemed legal and given the green light to proceed.

Not sure what the latest status is on the silly district court ruling that temporarily prohibits certain government employees hired by the executive branch from accessing the treasury payments system. Last I heard, there is a hearing Friday. I’m sure the injunction will be overturned and it’s just a little speed bump. Doesn’t seem to be slowing down the onslaught of waste being exposed by DOGE.

So far every judge that has issued an injunction re. DOGE has an immediate family member benefiting from the results of their decision.

And exactly how did the former head of USAID, Samantha Power, net worth sky rocket from $6.7 million to $30 million over 4 years on a salary of $160,000/yr.? Inquiring minds would like to know.

My favorite part is watching all the (D) voters pretend NONE of this is happening.

The sweetest ones are the (D)'s who try to pretend it's really MAGA's who are upset and getting hosed by all this.

[Elizabeth Holms riots] Geez, the case hasn’t even gone to the jury and the rioters in CA are already looting the high end fashion stores. If the verdict goes the wrong way the streets of Walnut Creek, San Francisco, and LA could be filled with blondes in black turtlenecks. Not even going to guess how this would all go down if she were black.

Another day of losing for the democrats. I have no idea what's running through what's left of their mind(s). Running around screaming, "constitutional crisis", "unelected", 'president Musk", and all the other nonsense that percolates up in their fever dreams is not getting them anywhere.

Everyday Trump and Musk are doing a very public data dump on what the government is spending the taxpayer's money on and that's what John and Mary Lunchbucket are discussing at the dining room table. And make no mistake, they're pissed off.

If the democrats had a lick of sense they'd want to jump in. "Hey, we have some ideas on where to cut too." But they won't because they've plotted their course and it appears they're going to stick with it even if it takes their party off the edge of a cliff.

14 states file a lawsuit arguing Elon Musk's authority at DOGE is unconstitutional

A group of 14 states sued Elon Musk and President Donald Trump on Thursday, arguing that the authority the White House granted the tech billionaire and his advisory Department of Government Efficiency is unconstitutional.

The suit, filed by Democratic attorneys general from states like Arizona, Michigan and Rhode Island, takes aim at the magnitude and scale of Musk’s power, noting that DOGE has led the Trump administration’s efforts to dramatically reduce the size of the federal workforce, dismantle entire agencies and access sensitive data.

“The founders of this country would be outraged that, 250 years after our nation overthrew a king, the people of this country—many of whom have fought and died to protect our freedoms—are now subject to the whims of a single unelected billionaire,” Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes said in a statement.

The attorneys general argue that Trump violated the Appointments Clause of the Constitution by creating DOGE — an unofficial government agency — without congressional approval and by granting Musk “sweeping powers” without seeking the advice and consent of the Senate through a confirmation hearing.

“President Trump has delegated virtually unchecked authority to Mr. Musk without proper legal authorization from Congress and without meaningful supervision of his activities,” the lawsuit reads. “As a result, he has transformed a minor position that was formerly responsible for managing government websites into a designated agent of chaos without limitation and in violation of the separation of powers.”

The states are seeking a court order blocking Musk from making changes to government funding, canceling contracts, making personnel decisions and more.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt called the lawsuit a "continuation of the weaponization of justice against President Trump."

Another day, another sobbing, shaking, bereft, Radicalized democrat crapping their diaper. Turns out, Slick Willie and the Dahli Bama (peace…be upon him) attempted to do the same.

I can’t find the clips as of yet but saw them on the TeeVee tonight. I think the Dahli even hired young professionals from The Twatter, and the FaceSpace back then…

You do understand that power politix is generally acknowledged to be a bad thing, to be rooted out and destroyed wherever detected, like corruption?

Oh, everyone has talked a good game but done nothing until Trump came along.

The Dahli Bama’s (peace be upon him) proposed cuts for ‘12

Seems the vids of the great Dahli speaking have all been paywalled so I found the above. He did start the original DOGE, it just went by another name. Also hired young-un’s from the Twatter and FaceSpace if I remember correctly. So basically did everything that DOGE is doing with the possible exception of actually doing something as you say!

“Furthermore, President Obama has proposed and signed into law the elimination of 77 government programs and cut another 52 programs, saving more than $30 billion annually. This includes taking a hard look at areas he thinks are very important to see what programs are not working, duplicative or no longer needed—which is why the Administration has eliminated 16 programs in the Department of Education, 10 programs at Health and Human Services, and 4 programs at the Department of Labor.”

Thanks @HumpDayHoratio for this. I forgot that he cut $$$ to make room for the ACA.

You’re welcome. I think you missed the point though…It’s not as cut and dried as you think. The MI think tank isn’t right wing by any measure but they give a fairly balanced overview. Cherry-pick the good points all you want. There’s enough fodder in that report for both of us.

How "stashed away"? Money allocated to the EPA is money better spent than anywhere else, including the Pentagon and the Justice Department.
