Very important article … the US government employees I served with were incredibly talented and energetic patriots. It will be a devastating loss to fire them.
The Department of Government Efficiency isn't interested in efficiency. Or transparency, or cutting costs. It's real goal is to destroy the federal civil service. In other words, regime change. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Hubby bought a small item from China. They just informed him that it will cost 30% more due to the new tariff. I explained that Trump said the company should pay, not us. Alas, hubby still wants the item so will pay.

Having briefly served in the federal government, my advice to DOGE is to start with reconciling and sunsetting laws. Much of the waste that I saw was well-meaning federal employees trying to implement a massive web of often conflicting and unnecessary laws.
