Elon Musk and DOGE have failed to cut spending despite creating massive chaos in the federal government, according to a review of official data by The Economist. In fact, spending might actually be up since Trump took office.

This comment on r/fednews really stood out to me. Trump and Musk want people to think they're firing do-nothing "bureaucrats," but they're really getting rid of people dedicated to serving this country and keeping it operational. I hope these stories get told.

Here's what NO ONE asked for: turning the IRS into ICE. Maybe that’s the plan—make the IRS too busy trying to deport folks so they can’t go after billionaire tax cheats like Trump. Elites don't care who gets hurt as long as they can steal from the rest of us. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Americans are scared about what’s happening right now—because This. Is. Not. Normal. But where are my Republican colleagues? In closed-door meetings dismantling vital programs? We are fighting back! We are taking it to the courts, taking it to Congress, and taking it to the streets!

Trump just suspended enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, a key anti-bribery law signed by Carter in 1977. For 50 years, it stopped corporations from bribing foreign officials. Now, Trump is letting corruption run wild.
