You cannot make this up.

DOGE's crusade isn't about government efficiency. It's about making Elon Musk richer at your expense.
🚨BREAKING: While targeting federal education contracts, Elon Musk just scored a new deal for more government cash, according to documents reviewed by The Lever.

The new "supplemental agreement" adds millions to SpaceX's already huge $3.9 billion deal.

Let's say there's "waste" and "fraud" in the government.

Well that’s why every department had an inspector general to find and stop it.

But guess what? Trump fired most of these independent auditors who should be insulated from politics.

None of this is about waste and fraud.

I keep seeing this same approach play out in court as a foster parent, and I’m blown away by the folks who dgaf about these children. Like, sociopathic level of dgaf. How do you combat that?
At this point I think the Democrats have a masochism/humiliation kink going on. So much bad political strategy! All the time! About matters small and great! They keep thinking if they play by the rules they will persevere whilst Republicans dgaf about rules and do what they want.
