So if they found all this fraud, they’ll show us the results of their audits with all of their data and work, right? Right?

“Unelected 4th branch of government…” and she ISN’T talking about Elon and DOGE?

Laughable.

I'm glad everyone in the Trump administration is enjoying the sowing portion of the meme. The reaping part should be fine for everyone.

She did a good job of describing Elon musk's role in all of this.

It’s infuriating to me that anyone could think you could bring in a team of hackers and a k-hole billionaire to just read the title of a program and determine it’s wasteful or fraudulent without actually talking to anyone with knowledge of the program.

Fox News is wrong!

It’s so ironic for them to refer to an “unelected fourth branch of government” and all its evils…while Musk operates as the lead of an unelected fourth branch of government that can overrule every other branch but has no checks on its power.

Does the executive have the power to overrule Congress? Yes. With a veto. The executive can’t just disregard policy passed by Congress because he thinks it makes him less powerful and masculine.

Where was this logic when Congress was discussing ways to better divert federal funds to create universal healthcare? Or when the military needed to be downsized? Or when student loans needed to be forgiven? Their hypocrisy astounds me!

I remember when the line-item veto was the major controversy but I guess now we’re inventing a retroactive veto to allow presidents (well, just Republican presidents actually) to undo legislation they don’t like that were passed during prior administrations

And the Senate is letting it happen for what? Personal favors? A spot in his next golf game?
