Trumpers are the least reps of America's promise.

From the cited article...

... It will work with the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy in President-elect Donald Trump's administration. ...

For starters, The new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is not a Department. Only Congress can create a new Department.

The last time Congress granted a President the ability to create a Department occurred in the Reagan era.


So, DOGE is really little more than a high-profile lobbying entity.

More on the story:

"Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has been tapped to lead a House subcommittee connected to the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) run by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, has named her targets for investigation and defunding.

They include: NPR, "toilets in Africa," "sex apps in Malaysia," sanctuary cities, and the Pentagon.

In a Sunday interview with Fox News' Maria Bartiromo, Greene said America has been "really spoiled for a long time," calling the federal government "one of the worst abusers of American's tax dollars and the American people's trust."
