Summary
Elon Musk’s DOGE faces mounting pressure to show achievements amid criticism. Staffers, under pressure from Trump administration officials, seek public relations wins to counter negative headlines.
Cuts to federal offices led to mass layoffs, and efforts to modernize government services have been chaotic. DOGE prioritizes speed over security and protecting sensitive information.
Trump has distanced himself, stating agency chiefs, not Musk, control department cuts, preferring a “scalpel” over a “hatchet” approach. Public opinion has turned against DOGE, with 48% disapproving versus 34% approving, according to a Washington Post-Ipsos poll.
With limited time before their tenure ends, DOGE officials are desperate to show results.
Yes where are the weapons of mass corruption?
Maybe Saddam Husein can help?
Oh no they hung him!
Hanged*
Sorry, not usually that person but this one drives me nuts because literally everyone gets it wrong, including TV, movies, news.
I guess at this point, it’s gotten the “literally” treatment, and “hung” has become valid since it’s used so much.
Thank you, I am literate and opinionated but not educated 😀.
