DOGE is not about waste and fraud. This is about gutting government services without any evaluation of their need. Americans have decided to have and fund an effective National Park Service. Trump and Musk are trampling on democracy to do whatever the hell they want.

I certainly don't always agree with Rick Wilson, but in this 16-minute interview the points he makes are spot on. Great advice for Dems: Don't talk policy at all. Instead talk about pain, chaos & destruction caused by Musk & Trump. (By the end of the year we'll be well into the 2026 election cycle.)

It’s no longer the House budget. It’s the Trump budget, now that Trump has endorsed it, and since the Administration hasn’t submitted its own budget. So we should call the House budget the Trump budget. And we can talk about Trump’s cuts to important programs and Trump’s broken campaign promises.
