@joycewhitevance.bsky.social If Elon is cross-referencing the PII of government employees with their social media posts, it's very possible that he's targeting people that expressed negative sentiment about himself and Trump. It's not hard to do, and I wouldn't be surprised if that's happening.
Call your Senators & Representative every day! Especially if they're Republicans. It'll take you less than 10 minutes. Do it or don't complain that they're spineless!
DOGE never had any intention to uncover waste, fraud or abuse. They set out to find things they didn't agree with, and in doing so also found a lot of things they didn't understand. Instead of a professional audit, we got the "HULK SMASH" approach. It'll be decades before we can fix what they broke.
It’s a way to skirt congressional approval of agencies established by congress. It’s accomplishing that. This Congress is about as useful as an artificial plant.
My son’s co-worker with MS was informed that his medication assistance program was canceled by DOGE, leaving him with a $700/month out of pocket cost (that he cannot afford) for his necessary medication. How is that benefiting the country or making it more efficient?
Simply put this is atrocious! How do they expect people to live like this? Cutting assistance programs and others plans like Medicaid is only going to help Trump and Musk. They don’t give a damn about people😡😢
And then he won’t be able to work…. So they are taking self sufficient people and putting them on Medicaid and unemployment, which in the end will be far more expensive to tax payers.
It's never been about efficiency. It is about destroying from within. Is it a coincidence that so many gutted government departments were about to investigate Musk's companies?
As long as the oligarchs get what they want, they are happy to dismantle the whole system.
What really gets me here is that he is winning with the smaller govt republicans with these cuts, disastrous as they may be, and that's not even what this is. His lying about everything really muddies the water enough to make it plausible to some that he wants to reduce waste. We already do that tho
Tech bros want the land to build sick network countries they run like CEOs and there are no laws…as launching pads to mars. It’s some effed up shit https://youtu.be/5RpPTRcz1no?si=i1CpkEQRp9aix5JM
Remarkable that any agency that was holding Musk accountable was gutted. Pillaging of USA by the very rich in broad daylight & it seems nothing can be done to stop it. Wow.
Let’s also not pretend that government needs efficiency. Not saying a rich autist is the answer mind, but the government shouldn’t get a pass. More at https://daedalusmemo.com
“A situation HE finds intolerable. Looks like Musk thinks HE’s the king. An immigrant that certainly needs to be deported. He’s not assimilating well. In fact, with the damage he has caused, anyone else would be in prison.
And DEI was simply an EXCUSE. No one is talking about the fact that Doge has cancelled thousands of government contracts. My neighbor lost his job. My company lost 90% of their contracts and may go out of business. NO ONE is talking about that!
Just the opposite - they want to grind our government to a halt, damage it beyond repair, destroy accumulated expertise, and privatize the services it previously provided under the watchful eyes of our oligarch overlords.
Republicans, don’t cower to the traitor Trump. History will judge you not just by what you do, but by what you fail to stand up to. Honor your love and respect for this country—speak out.
I noticed Elon stood when tRUMP mentioned DOGE & bowed. He is not DOGE he is the monster implementing its orders! Then he again took a bow when Trump mentioned his name. Very telling!!
I speak from experience. This has nothing to do with merit or waste, fraud, and abuse. No business would ever tackle that by lopping off employees without assessing who was doing what and how.
It’s because they really don’t know what’s involved in building things up and what’s actually involved in working. They are insulated by wealth to the extent we are considered parasites
It's really difficult to convince Americans that Musk is focused on government efficiency when the Acting President keeps cancelling other govt. contracts then awarding new contracts for his own companies to replace those cancelled.
He is either a US Gov Dept head or a US Contractor. Can't be both.
None of this is about efficiency or cutting costs. It never was. This is just an evolution of the "fiscal responsibility" propaganda the GOP has been peddling for decades. Now they're just conning the same rubes into believing they're finally doing it. They're not.
Yep, “efficiency” is just an excuse to destroy the govt institutions and knowledge.
Similarly, fentanyl isn’t the reason for the tariffs. There is no good reason for the tariffs, other than to cause disruptions and make things more expensive, slow economy
An abusive bully always isolates its victims. We are now hated and isolated form our Allies. They also eventually make them feel like it is only them that can take care of you or cares for you.
Sound familiar?
Anyone else catch the hypocrisy of making a display of the young cancer survivor while defunding medical research??? My stomach turned so many times last night!
DOGE isn't legal. See FACA lawsuit (requires balance on an advisory committee and background checks) and since shortly after that got traction, T started calling M a government employee M became ineligible to have contracts with the govt or for 2 years afterward.
Smoke and mirrors and bullshit to try to help billionaires and screw the little guy.
Get real. 😏🥴

are waste,fraud & abuse while he sits at a buffet with a silver spoon, golfs and helps no one.
I had been thinking the same thing. Cutting waste is not a problem it’s the insane way they are going about it. I also believe they could find a lot of waste in Congress. Start at the top . I can’t believe how much of our tax dollars are being spend for days personal travel.
No, doge is destroying departments and federal workers that brought any kind of investigation towards musk, and IG’s that could investigate in the future! Besides this, musk is setting himself up for even more government contracts!!
For one thing, it's firing the people from agencies that were investigating Elon's companies. That's what you get to do when you spend $280 million getting Donald Trump elected.
Hello to Huxley’s Brave New World:
They want an immediate pool of folks who’ll work for a pittance & whose children will have as little access to education, opportunities & hope as possible- so they’ll then work for even less 💀
Trump said that he wouldn't get rid of Social Security and Medicare. What they intend to do instead is cripple them so that citizens cannot get their money or services.
I filed to collect Social Security in January. No response yet, and now I realize there probably will never be a response.
DOGE wants to charge one federal agency millions of dollars for its work to make government more efficient

Just saw an interview with musk biographer Walter isaacson, who discussed a "demon state" that comes over musk, that musk does not remember when it's over. Sounds like a medical disorder that needs to be checked, not a prerequisite for an unelected poser imposing "efficiency" on America.
What’s weird here Joyce is you are not telling people what they already know. If you care this much USE WHATEVER POWER YOU HAVE AND DO SOMETHING. Regular Americans have their hands tied.
I don’t care what organization you’re downsizing for sake of efficiency, you need more than 2 days inside an agency to understand what it does and which programs to cut. This isn’t about waste, fraud and abuse. It’s about destruction. They are dismantling our government while we watch.
And we don’t have anyone to stop them. If we tried to make citizens’ arrest, trump’s jack-boot thugs would mow us down. Plus, the majority of us live hundreds, if not thousands of miles away.
This is the most helpless feeling! Our security institutions are compromised, our congress is useless, our scotus empowered a trump tyranny. Trump has pi$$ed off more than half the Americans and the whole world. I think he should be very scared. Musk will be carrying all his kids!
Trumps removing watchdog people and federal workers before they look into him and musks criminiality. They are breaking the privacy act law. The law Should already be aggressively looking into doge and it’s intentions. Cuz it’s blurry for a reason. It’s illegal

It’s dizzying

That is what Trump wants for America
People will toil in factories and on farms
Everyone will be thin, hungry and willing to rat out resisters for food

And….”profits” should not be a factor when when evaluating human needs (health, education, disaster relief, etc).
Doesn't look like congress will stop it, and I can't imagine scrotus not giving him a free pass.
It'll blow the f*ck up, and I don't think it'll take long. No good guesses as to what happens after that.
