Hold the fuck on — the Department of Government Efficiency, the entity which claims its mission is to end “wasteful spending”, was given SEVEN MILLION TAXPAYER DOLLARS to cover its “expenses” in the span of a single week?!?!
Are you fucking kidding me?!?

Also, those are likely not millionaire/billionaire tax payer dollars, as they tend to pay such a small amount of said taxes! 😡
That's all you'll find about it, alongside a claim that they've not got access to payments. And yet they are given this money.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't that make them government contractors and subject to Congressionl Oversight?
but the House will never bring it up
The Fourth Estate will have to keep pounding on the story
subjected to the rants of
Trump, Musk and FOX
'news' remind yourself
from time to time that
before the internet all
of this would have been
merely the scrawlings
on toilet walls in unkept
public bathrooms or the
floors of padded cells.
"They sound fucking insane."
Yes...
Not agreeing with them receiving money. Or existing . Or being entitled to the same air supply as the rest of us.
Just speculating that they probably operate on the basis that they are past needing authorisation.
Had to be the bully-in-charge with all the immunity he needs to shoot first and never apologize later.
If they did that over a year, it's over 350 million. They'll claim it will go down, but really there's just as much reason to expect it could go up -- so it might be a half-billion by year's end.
Just say "Sounds rough." and WALK. AWAY.
Leave these people with what they voted for.
I suspect the idea is pretty common with businesspeople.
I’ve actually been yelling Samuel L Jackson’s Pulp Fiction lines “Look at the big balls on Brett” and “I don’t remember asking you a gahtdamn thing” at the news for a few days. Maybe this is a new stage of grief.

Those are getting expensive anymore.
I may not have much control, but I won't give him my attention and won't contribute to his media ratings.
Demented Oligarchs Grab Everything
Etc.
Or..
Department of Grifting Everyone
Or..
Department of Getting Even
Now they are taking it again.
We can't let our ancestors down again.
DOGE is given nearly $7 million in a week as Musk gets access to sensitive government data. “Nearly twice the annual salaries and expenses budget of the White House.”
What if elon is looking to update every system using his failed starlink?
1. elon would have total control over everything
2. elon wouldn't lose all his government contracts
--- Just my thoughts ---
It’s all about 💰
Heard “First We Take Manhattan”
And thought his White God was talking to HIM.
We cooked.
What did Musk do with the 7 mil?
That we’re not zeroing out those monies in protest of this coup is entirely on Trump’s little Johnson.
1 week
Now he's doing it with all our national data, and no one is stopping him.
Nice job GOP, nice job!
We should let Steve Bannon know and see what he thinks!
They are trough-feeding beasts who must be made an example of...

How he is allowed to be a reviewer of spending speaks to the sheer corruption on the right
I think ethics falls under DEI
They fail on anything: DEI predecessors fault
They succeed: The DEI prior people leading me everything functional had nothing to with it
Not all nepo babies, I know.
Did this go through committee??
They are raping the US!!
If these broccoli headed boys want to participate in government, they should start there.
