DOGE’s Only Public Ledger Is Riddled With Mistakes www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

4️⃣ It’s Corrupt – With Musk at the helm, billion-dollar conflicts of interest are in play. This is like that same electrician insisting you tear down every wall in your house to rewire it for “efficiency” while conveniently profiting from the rebuild.

These are just a few of the biggest issues. 🧵5/5

3️⃣ It’s Run by Amateurs – The people behind DOGE are making uninformed budget decisions on programs they don’t understand. Would you let an electrician tell you to stop paying your mortgage and car insurance just because they think it’s too expensive? 🧵4/5

2️⃣ It’s Reckless and Dangerous – Instead of rooting out waste, DOGE has been so sloppy and indiscriminate that its errors jeopardize national security (e.g., "accidentally" firing the people who manage our nuclear arsenal). We need precision, not chaos. 🧵3/5

1️⃣ It’s Redundant and Wasteful – DOGE duplicates the work of the Government Accountability Office (GAO), a nonpartisan, Constitutionally grounded watchdog that has been exposing waste since 1921. Why waste taxpayer dollars reinventing the wheel? 🧵2/5
