How was the government "broken" before though?....problems for sure but it wasnt broken. Now it is. Kinzinger is an honest man but he is still a Republican....hed cut medicaid and privatize social security tomorrow.

They've been worrying about tyranny from the gov. but ignoring the potential for tyranny from the private contractors that get their money from the gov. Snowden wasn't working for the NSA when he blew the whistle. He was working for a contractor, Booze-Allen. Contractors were doing that stuff.

I'm a former IT security engineer who had a TS back in the day. A bunch of us old geeks loosely stay in touch. All of us think the real goal of DOGE was to hoover up all the data from the agencies they invaded. Insiders reported witnessing data extraction. The real fun has not yet begun.

What? You mean a kétamine addict technocrat and his merry band of hackers didn't force their way into every classified government computer system to find spending waste, but to embed themselves into the entire system and steal your info? Who knew?

We live in a surveillance state, and they didn’t have to fight us for it. We relinquished our freedom piece by piece in the name of 9/11 first, and “technology” later.

The government is going to compile all our personal data into on convenient database for the current hate regime to punish us as it sees fit. It’s not a hard concept and unfortunately the republicans have no balls to go against trump and musk.

This is a major point. The secondary tertiary knock on effects of various systems, namely, anyone in a small town working remotely for the government that loses a paycheck. They stop spending. That’s lost local tax revenue and lost business revenue and it lowers GDP. Massive amounts of damage.

I thought all along that a big part of the fraud, waste or abuse he found was the sum total of salaries and benefits from the laid off/fired employees. After all, if you're no longer going to pay them, you're saving that money, right?

Elon got what he wanted and that was to gut the agencies who were coming after him, etc…he never should have been allowed any access to information due to conflicts of interest. The whole thing is an HR nightmare and would never have happened under normal circumstances.

💯, the 7 kids are hackers. They hacked your systems and left a million back doors in all of your software. You as a nation, are fucked. Musky can get mad in a year from now and shut down anything he likes...power grids and defense systems. You're fucked. 🇨🇦

The whole waste, fraud and abuse was just a cover for stealing money, data and information and gaining contracts, and ending investigations into the Space Nazis companies, total BS.

When the foundation of your house is cracked and sinking, the solution isn't to set the house on fire. Sure, there's less weight on the foundation, but now you have to rebuild the house...oh, and your foundation is still broken. That's not how you save money or fix problems

This entire Trump government is a fraud! The entire purpose of Trump 2 was to avoid criminal conviction and now payback. Economic payback by lining his pockets with cash and retribution against anyone who tried to hold him accountable!

How many Federal employees lost their jobs? How many federal agencies were shut down? How many citizens are still waiting for disaster relief because of FEMA shutdown? Time to sue Musk!

All Musk really destroyed was USAID (for Putin) and all of the regulatory or government cases against him, on top of stealing Americans personal data and putting backdoors and malware on our departmental systems that run this government...just that...

My guess is that he wanted to go after the agencies that he was involved with in litigation proceedings. And he wanted to ensure that his companies got government contracts. There was a method to his madness.

I think anyone with a working brain would see the pattern of Musk's cuts and figure out what was going on. He damaged or destroyed agencies that had problems with his companies or were investigating him for financial reasons. He gutted the CHIPS Act because he wasn't one of the regulators, etc.

DOGE illegally fired millions of workers and closed agencies that were investigating him. He defunded important institutions like USAIDS and Dept of Education. People are dying because of Musk. He has accessed all our personal data to create a dossier on each of us. Trump will use this to attack us.

And don't forget the part of his plan that include him getting ALL the government contracts while cancelling any investigations into his companies and firing all the oversight employees. Greasing the skids.

DOGE was never a real thing. It was Elon datamining our government. He got everything he needed, and installed all the backdoors into our servers our enemies will ever need.
