They are attempting the cuts in various social programs in order to reduce the budget enough to renew expiring Trump tax cuts without LEGISLATION, but by way of RECONCILIATION.
They want to steal your tax $$ from other programs to cut taxes for billionaires for another 10 years.
Pay attention.

Well done @karaswisher.bsky.social - she knows SV tech bro mentality. They are raised on the virtue of “breaking things”. The US Federal Government is not a for profit business. And it is a sign of the immaturity of Elon and his merry band of catamites that they think it is.

What’s more disturbing is CNN endorsing something without having any evidence to back up the opinion.

I don’t know if I’m paranoid, but the media looks like they totally fell in line. I think it’s out of fear. I mean look what this ass hole is doing to people who spoke negatively of him.

And Fox is a propaganda peddler. Completely. And unapologetically.

The media treating Musk’s cuts like a serious policy debate is like analyzing a wrecking ball for its architectural vision. Destruction isn’t reform, and bad faith doesn’t deserve a think piece.

Exactly. It's not about efficiency. It's about replacing a many Civil Service workers as they can with unqualified Trump loyalists and Project 2025 implementors and achieving as much financial gain as they can steal.

Fuck CNN. Fuck Anderson Cooper and his hispter glasses, fuck Erin Burnette and her fugitive from a Fantasitc Sam's hairdo and fuck Wolf Blitzer and his beard. Trump's people wanted to kill them 4 years ago and now they kiss his ass. I don't advise offering them a hand of friendship.

The government already has departments that deal with finding and cutting government waste. DOGE is a made up entity.

THE MEDIA HAS LET DOWN ALL AMERICANS FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS AND IT IS NO SURPISE THAT THE MEDIA WOULD SIDE WITH THE MILLIONAIRE AND BILLIONAIRE CLASS. ELON MUSK, GET OUT OF DODGE, AND DONALD TRUMP HAS CROSSED THE LINE AGAIN. GET OUT OF DODGE WAS SUPPOSE TO BE ADVISORY ... NOT A FULL BLOWN COUP.

OUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS NOT A BUSINESS FOR PURE PROFIT AND IT CAN NEVER BE RUN BY LIKE A BUSINESS. ELON WANTS END SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICARE, MEDICAID, HEAD START , SNAP, WIC, WELFARE AND EVERY OTHER DOMESTIC PROGRAM. SO, THEY CAN INCREASE THEIR PROFITS AT OUR EXPENSE! BILLIONAIRES NEED TO PAY TAX.

ffighter.bsky.social•15 days ago

BUSINESS HAS ONLY TWO CONSIDERATIONS. MAKING PROFIT AND SATISFYING THEIR INVESTORS. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PROVIDES ENVIROMENTAL PROTECTIONS, LEGAL PROTECTIONS, DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN PROTECTIONS, WORKER PROTECTIONS, HEALTHCARE, SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICARE ETC.

No. They. WON'T!

And there's a process for that -- the legislative process in congress, which controls the money. The executive branch can't just unilaterally make cuts.
