Elon claimed he’d save the government $1 TRILLION by Sept. 30. Now he’s admitting his “efficiency” team is falling short — 85% short.

Sure doesn’t sound like efficiency to me.
DOGE Is Far Short of Its Goal, and Still Overstating Its Progress
Elon Musk now says his group will produce only 15 percent of the savings it promised. But even that estimate is inflated with errors and guesswork.

The Justice Department has agreed to temporarily restrict Elon Musk and his cronies from accessing the Treasury's payment system—after a group of union members and retirees sued the department over DOGE’s flagrantly illegal activities.

This is good news. But the fight is far from over.
Trump administration agrees to restrict DOGE access to Treasury Department payment systems
The agreement came in response to a lawsuit accusing Treasury of committing an "unlawful action" by giving private info to Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency.

Amid the flurry of extreme actions taken by the Administration, there’s one question I’ve been asked more than any other:

“What are you going to *do* about it?”

It’s a fair point—especially when the President has thus far avoided any real accountability.

I’ll do my best to address it. (1/14)
