Summary
Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy are leading the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), tasked with recommending $500 billion in federal spending cuts.
Their agenda includes defunding organizations like Planned Parenthood and public broadcasting, using recent Supreme Court rulings to justify overturning federal regulations and enabling mass federal worker layoffs.
Critics warn this could undermine public health, civil rights, and gun control regulations.
DOGE’s recommendations, aligned with Trump’s goals, aim to scale back federal oversight and reduce spending but face legal and practical challenges. A final report is due by July 2026.
Wrong.
Trump will create doge via executive order and the supreme court will rubber stamp it as an official act and therefore completely legal and cool.
It can’t write a check without an act of Congress.
Unless trump does something illegal that the supreme court rubber stamps.
You mean the completely red Congress that will do whatever Trump wants?
They don’t have to write checks, they can just tell the stooges installed at the top of federal agencies what to do. It’s like when a think tank writes a bill for a congressperson to introduce.
