If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Thank you! A federal judge blocked U.S. DOGE employees from altering any records of payments at the Treasury Department while she weighs a request by public interest groups for a broader injunction against their activity. Thank you, U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly’s! 🙏

Today, President Trump rescinded Executive Order 14087 signed by former President Biden in October 2022.

This only benefits big pharma.
