But DOGE is a real government agency.

You know what won't be soon? The Department of Education. Lol.

He's a "senior adviser to the president" like Anita Dunn, they say.

So this is a "dodgey" way of trying to get out of any responsibility for what is taking place.

Gavin, the Musk follower, is an anti-semite and racist who just gained access to everyone's tax info.

So, no, this does not belong in religion.

They are probably going to get fired anyway though...

But, why would the IRS let the racist Jewish-hating programmer inside and give them access to the tax info for everyone in the United States of America? Especially after seeing how they gutted other agencies?

Please tell me why everyone has to let DOGE into their offices when they are not real government workers and are unqualified....?

They are government workers, and based on results, they are very qualified.
$106 billion saved so far.

Did this number subtract the $400M Musk just received from State for his cybertrucks plus other contracts he's been awarded?

What about the forthcoming billionaire tax cut? That will cost a trillion or so.

Fix the math, my friend.

No, they did not pass a real security clearance. People with their backgrounds would not have passed.

Is this true?

Musk's clearance was in the process of being taken away due to his drug use, so I doubt it. That's one reason he's gone crazy trying to fire everyone.

Why aren’t you finding anyone who can win NEXT time?

Years ago, were you one of those "but her emails" people?

What happened to those "but her emails" folks? You sold your souls? Do not care about security clearance anymore? Do not care about laws anymore?

They NEVER cared. MAGA LIKES Trump lies (and now Musk lies). The lies allow them to let their most hateful selves run free, unchecked. The lies allow them to bask in their spite and envy and justify their worst impulses. MAGA repeats the lie du jour to justify whatever craven, disgusting thing Trump is doing at the moment.

Zero schools will be closed when Ed closes. That isn't what they do.

No, it wasn't.

It is being done this way so if there is blowback, the techbros will go to prison not Musk. Guys in their late teens-early 20s are generally impulsive and lack the executive function to think things through.

Exactly, curriculum is handled at the local level. DoEd handles funding for special needs and education grants. Shuttering DoEd will make schooling harder for kids with disabilities and poor/middle class kids to go to college. But MAGA doesn’t value college so they don’t care where their kids end up.

Trump threatens they will cease funding if every drop of diversity, equity and inclusion is not removed.

Even a book about freckles was recently banned from schools, so you can see how ridiculous they are.

Elon Musk has clearances you don’t even know exist.
