Congress is moving to slash GAO’s funding by 50%—gutting their own watchdog. The GOP and Democrats have long depended on their work to make informed decisions to root out waste, fraud, and abuse.

Slashing a nonpartisan, independent legislative agency? Not a good move.

Federal law empowers the GAO to sue the President when he unconstitutionally steals Congress's power of the purse.

So of course DOGE is going after GAO just as Trump 2.0 is gearing up to unconstitutionally steal Congress's power of the purse.
Breaking news:

DOGE is now targeting the Government Accountability Office, a congressional agency.

GAO is fighting back: "We are not subject to DOGE or executive orders."

@notusreports.bsky.social obtained the email detailing what's happening, sent just an hour ago.

Dear @michaelhobbes.bsky.social, I enjoyed your podcast on pundits/aka dummies this week. I remember about Cillizza used to (like from before 2010) do a live chat weekly on Washington Post that was popular. People would write in asking about his hot takes and he would deliver them fresh (1/x)

Tonight I attended a fourth grade strings concert and it was pretty good but I would have handed a crisp $20 to any soloist who could have busted out the Succession theme song.
