The Department of Government Efficiency (aka DOGE)

I've long believed that 'The Right's' hatred of Communism was based on envy.

This EO from the White House is a fine demonstration of that belief. DOGE are now filling the role of the NKVD. They are to be zampolits to make sure every one stays within The Party's guidelines.
Sec. 3. Reforming the Federal Workforce to Maximize Efficiency and Productivity. (a) Hiring Ratio. Pursuant to the Presidential Memorandum of January 20, 2025 (Hiring Freeze), the Director of the Office of Management and Budget shall submit a plan to reduce the size of the Federal Government’s workforce through efficiency improvements and attrition (Plan). The Plan shall require that each agency hire no more than one employee for every four employees that depart, consistent with the plan and any applicable exemptions and details provided for in the Plan.
That's completely insane. Every agency will be understaffed, every civil servant overworked.
 
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."

Try to rewrite that so it makes some kind of sense.

You can't.
 
MAGA dorks are dressing in DOGE gear, entering public facilities and demanding to see digital records from government employees.

Embarrassed Elon Musk hastily rehires fired nuclear employees after dreadful DOGE error

seems his team of zealots didn't know that the NNSA is in charge of the nuclear arsenal

when will congress grow a spine and say 'enough is enough'?

Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) hastily backtracked after dismissing top nuclear experts, a blunder that became apparent when The National Nuclear Safety Administration had to rehire them urgently. The firings were reversed on Friday following DOGE's oversight in not realising the agency's role in managing America's nuclear weapons before letting the employees go on Thursday.

Insiders confided to CNN that the workers were let go because "no one had taken any time to understand what we do and the importance of our work to the nation's national security".

Around 400 NNSA staff at the Energy Department were reportedly axed as part of Musk's government cost-cutting initiatives, under presidential orders. Another source disclosed to CNN that Congress is "freaking out" over the fact that DOGE seemed unaware that the NNSA is in charge of the nuclear stockpile.
freaking out, but what will they DO about it???

at least 50 of the staff dismissed as just 'administerial' were highly trained and with access to highly confidential material.
NNSA employees play crucial roles in designing and maintaining US nuclear weapons, producing and dismantling armaments, providing the Navy with nuclear reactors for submarines, and tackling nuclear emergencies, according to Mirror US reports, reports the Express US.
 
'no, they're not fired anymore but but but... we can't get in contact with them to tell them that'
:censored:

WASHINGTON — National Nuclear Security Administration officials on Friday attempted to notify some employees who had been let go the day before that they are now due to be reinstated — but they struggled to find them because they didn't have their new contact information.

In an email sent to employees at NNSA and obtained by NBC News, officials wrote, “The termination letters for some NNSA probationary employees are being rescinded, but we do not have a good way to get in touch with those personnel.”
'so those of you who get this email, work with your boss and tell your mates it's a fuck-up of epic proportions'
The individuals the letter refers to had been fired on Thursday and lost access to their federal government email accounts. NNSA, which is within the Department of Energy and oversees the nation's nuclear stockpile, cannot reach these employees directly and is now asking recipients of the email, “Please work with your supervisors to send this information (once you get it) to people’s personal contact emails.”

Rocket City bracing for 'bloodbath' and chaos with expected doge cuts

With exceptions for functions such as public safety, only one employee can be added for every four that leave. In addition, new hires would generally need the approval from a representative of the DOGE, expanding the influence of Elon Musk´s team.

That could apply to most of the 7,000 employees at the Marshall Space Flight Center, which is now leading the development of NASA's Space Launch System rockets as part of the agency's efforts to bring astronauts back to the moon, according to the New York Times.

But under a continuity plan NASA submitted to the Office of Management and Budget in 2023, over 92 percent of the space agency's employees would be considered nonessential next time a government shutdown were to occur.
businesses are concerned it might hurt the local economy and house buyers are rethinking buying... so much winning for those trumpers
