When Trump first announced DOGE, I stupidly thought it was just another of his reality TV marketing ploys. Man I was naive. DOGE is a way to circumvent Congress's constitutional power of the purse. And Congress is just fine with it.

True the Repub congress has no moral compass or spine ! They sold out the country and us to be “yes men and women” to a criminal dictator. The answer is to VOTE EVERYONE OF THEM OUT! In 2026 & 2028!
We have the power to end this. If we turn out in the mid-terms like we SHOULD have turned out in the 2024 election, we'll overtake both houses of Congress and this will be over.
But we have to stop being idiots and actually go vote.
As though Article I is mere suggestion. It's the f-ing supreme law of the land. Who does Leon represent? Without representation, we have no power. I will never forgive MAGAs for this.
Congress?
Are you implying that America still has a Congress?
That went out the window on Jan. 20. It's just awaiting an Executive Order to make the abolishment official.
Looking at the Democratic party today, we can turn out 100% at the mid terms and 100% vote for Dems and STILL NOT change anything. Because (other than a handful): spineless and leaderless.
If everybody would could vote Dem does then I’m fairly confident it won’t look like this anymore. But without anything looking like a win the. We’re fucked.
DOGE is an unrecognized agency. He has ZERO authority to be doing ANY of the things he is doing/has done. The House and the Senate are the only ones who can stand up to this illegitimate activity.
This is exactly what it is. They are trying to create a new government through EOs. Goldwater, Reagan, HW, Dole, McCain, true conservatives of the R party are rolling in their graves.
Do you want Trump to EO a new government? Probably not. My point is that the stalwart conservatives of yesterday would think Trump a traitor to the country as well as conservatism. 🙄

They are getting what they thought they wanted good and hard.
Sadly so do the rest of us.

If there’s a third alternative I’m listening.
Not even sure there’s an alternative without a shooting war at this stage but go on.

The GOP shared the blue print for this we should
Copy it.
