As much as Musk and Trump want us to believe that their actions are about cutting costs, fighting fraud or protecting American interests... The so-called Department of Government Efficiency is simply another way to attack checks and balances, removing the people who understand how our systems work.

WE SHOULD BE ASHAMED TO ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN. The order is being broadly interpreted by librarians and school officials to include any books that could be perceived as promoting one group over another — books about slavery, civil rights history, or treatment of Native Americans could be removed.

THIS IS NUTS! The firings were reversed on Friday following DOGE's oversight in not realizing the agency's role in managing America's nuclear weapons … The workers were let go because ‘no one had taken any time to understand what we do and the importance to the nation's national security’.

THIS IS JUST SO SAD "Goodbye to that ever-present sense of inferiority I once had when considering the relationship between Canada and America. What doubt I had of our own greatness is gone, and in its place is a certitude that Canada is superior to the U.S. in all the ways that matter ... "

IS THIS WHAT AMERICA AGREES WITH? “Taxpayers fund government contracts, and (Musk) has no problems with that ... The majority of Trump supporters rely on the programs @DOGE is cutting, and he calls (those people) parasites.”

READ THS PART IF NOTHING ELSE: “It calls for $1.5 trillion in spending cuts ...(but) has to include $2 trillion in cuts to the “mandatory” part of federal spending, which covers Medicare, Medicaid and food benefits (SNAP), or $4.5 trillion in the tax breaks must be reduced by a commensurate amount.”

EXCUSE ME? WE NO LONGER HAVE THREE CO-EQUAL BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT? WTF??? V.P. Vance seemed to indicate the administration did neither have to nor intend to comply with the federal judge's opinion about what could not be done. "Judges aren’t allowed to control the executive’s legitimate power."

Trump loves to be admired by the elites, and adores money. Musk has gotten the keys to the American kingdom so he can attack “the woke mind virus,” which he says “killed” his “son,” who transitioned as a teenager. “They’re rich and powerful, so they’re insulated from consequences of their actions.”

SO MUCH FOR HIRING ONLY THE BEST AND BRIGHTEST! Potential hires have been scrutinized for whether they’ve ever made a comment critical of Trump ... whether they side with Trump’s views on issues such as Ukraine, NATO, the January 6 riot false claims the 2020 election was stolen.

While this order supposedly overcomes "discrimination," that same concept is being wiped out of all American policies in the name of eradicating DEI. Once again, the irony is inescapable.

THIS IS HOW YOU DESTROY OUR GOVERNMENT, ONE AGENCY AT A TIME. Trump last week fired two leaders at the National Labor Relations Board, that adjudicates disputes over labor organizing, leaving NLRB with only two members, unable to do business due to a lack of a quorum, leaving workers in the lurch.

"While the cause of the plane crash is not yet known, it is testing the new administration’s response to a crisis. Trump defaulted to a well-worn playbook, heaping blame on his predecessors and suggesting that diversity initiatives eroded aviation standards — and, as usual, offered no evidence."

Globe and Mail: "The government of the US has been delivered into the hands of a gangster, whose sole purpose, besides staying out of jail, is to seek revenge. The damage Donald Trump can do – to America, but also its democratic allies, and to the peace and security of the world – is incalculable."
