DOGE moves on to the next boiler room

A redeployment of Elon’s incel army:
Less than a year after Elon Musk took the stage at the Conservative Political Action Conference in February, brandishing a bedazzled chainsaw to showcase the Department of Government Efficiency’s cost-cutting spree, the most significant cut was the agency itself.
Donald Trump’s DOGE disbanded eight months earlier than scheduled, Reuters first reported on Sunday.
“That doesn’t exist,” Office of Personnel Management Director Scott Kupor told the outlet when asked about DOGE. “There is no target around reductions,” he added.
The first few months of Trump’s second term were dominated by DOGE, the agency headed by Musk with a mandate to aggressively downsize the federal workforce and slash government spending. But the failed agency seems to have accomplished little beyond sowing chaos.
Well, let’s be fair: millions of dead people all over the world is certainly “something.”
Which is one reason we should hope that this is far from the end of this sordid tale:
Amid the group photos and toasts, a senior DOGE figure named Donald Park tried to reassure his colleagues that they were still “brothers in arms” and that Musk would continue to protect them, according to three people who attended the gathering. Other DOGE leaders were less sanguine. “Guys, seriously,” one warned, “get your own lawyer if you need it. Elon’s great, but you need to watch your own back.”
The next Democratic president needs to look at what Merrick Garland did and find someone who wll not do that.
