If you want to understand how good a job DOGE is doing in reducing the deficit, just ask the bond market. The US is now no longer trustworthy enough to deserve it’s triple A rating. Are we great again yet?
U.S. Loses Last Triple-A Credit Rating
Moody’s Ratings downgraded the U.S. government, citing large fiscal deficits and rising interest costs.

Seems to have happened to a lot of people... 🙃

Ouch, pass the 🍿 . Problem is that Elon and DOGE already illegally broke into all the government systems and consolidated all the data into the DOGE master database, so guess who gets all that data when the DOGE-Father is fired? Elon was just a tool and a fool.

Yep, all of DOGE's work is eclipsed by 4.5 Trillion tax break that Trump's Big Beautiful Bill gives back to the rich and the debt just keeps growing. The reality of his folly of supporting Trump is finally sinking in. He was just a tool for Trump all along.

About right. Plus while we currently spend more of our tax money on interest payments for our debt than we spend on the entire US military, those interest costs are going up.

This does not sound very "efficient". DOGE just cuts US AID leaving massive amounts of food to rot in government warehouses.

Just wait till the MAGA voters realize they are not getting the $5000 checks from all the savings DOGE never produced.
Three swing state voters are suing Elon Musk, claiming he stiffed them on promised payments. The MAGA crowd is turning on itself nothing like buying votes and forgetting to pay up. Most of them still feel entitled to their million dollars.

Republicans realize they will lose mid terms with Trumps budget, but how do they still give 4.5 Trillion to the rich without increasing the deficit? DOGE was supposed to be the answer but they saved less than 100B by most accounts, so they can no longer use that reason.

DOGE team members now have access to the networks that contain nuclear secrets. 🤔 What does this have to do with deficit reduction and fraud detection? The Oversight Committee is trying to find the answers, but Connolly, the lead representative, is stepping back. We need leadership to step up.

Another lawsuit to uncover the deceptions of DOGE. If they were really working on deficit reduction, why would they take so many steps to hide? They use Signal instead of Slack so their messages disappear. They are deceptive about their org. Legally required responses to FOIAs are ignored.

Republican deficit hawks are finally waking up to the fact that Elon’s work is not going to make a difference and Trump’s budget makes our deficit way worse. DOGE failed at deficit reduction and only succeeded at data theft.

Hmm... more details on the firing of Elon's pick for IRS leader. My guess is that Elon wanted Shapley because he would let Elon and DOGE into the data and to revamp the IRS systems. Elon and DOGE are all about the data, not deficit reduction, and the IRS data is at the heart.

Elon Musk had the government in his grasp. Then it unraveled.

After sufficiently destroying the parts of the government that bothered him, Elon decides he should pay attention to his business again. Good job to all who helped takedown Tesla, it worked.

There has to be better way to make government work better than giving billionaires a chainsaw 🪚😈

Per FOIA law, all government agencies are required to be transparent, except of course the DOGE.

Why?

Well they say they are not an agency, except of course when they need to steal our data, then they make themselves employees of whatever agency they are infiltrating.

Some of the pieces of the puzzle are slowly coming together... I am increasingly thinking Palantir is one of the most important tools in DOGE's toolkit for centralizing data across all the agencies. They have been working with military and civilian government data for years...

Now DOGE adds Department of Labor into their master Palantir database. The same DOGE team members who "killed" 6300 immigrants they did not like by putting them into the death file at the Soc Security Admin. I guess they want to weaponize more of our data. Today its immigrants, tomorrow its 🫵🧑‍💻

You know, if they would just pay their fair share of taxes like everyone else we would not have these problems. 🤷‍♂️

DOGE says they are all about getting rid of bureaucracy.

Meanwhile they make themselves into the bureaucrats and make the government run even slower. 🐢😴

The depth of the incompetence is sometimes hard to fathom.

Take time to breath in slowly this morning and rejuvenate your thoughts. Take a walk on the beach, in a forest, next to a mountain or just outside. Enjoy the beauty of the world. Recharge and refresh. 😊⛰️
This was a good week, but this is a long journey. Renew, refocus and resist again.

If you are in the DC area, take a walk by the GSA, Eisenhower , SSA, IRS, HHS, Center for Medicare or Whitehouse and see if you see any of these Starlink antennas in windows, on walls or on the roof. This is how your data is being exfiltrated by DOGE. Post pics. This is the way. 🤖
