One way to think about the DOGE effort is it's an outgrowth of 20 years of hardliner conservatives frustrated by their inability to get the votes in Congress to do what they want to do. 1/

What's happening in America is that, in the most literal sense, internet trolls have taken over the government.

Article I says Congress makes laws and has power of the purse.

Article II requires POTUS to faithfully execute laws.

Refusing to execute laws so he can usurp Congress’s budgetary authority is unconstitutional.

A self-respecting Congress would do a veto-proof resolution, and if necessary, impeach.

the only president in the history of polling who began a term in office with approval as low a Trump's right now was ... Trump in 2017.

that's what CNN is gushing over. the second-worst start-of-term approval rating in history.
CNN's Harry Enten gushes over Trump: "This is big league. This is a sign that the American people, at least initially, like what they're seeing."
