Elon Musk, through his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has rapidly taken control of several key government agencies and systems:

1. Treasury Department: DOGE has gained access to the Treasury's payment system, which manages trillions in payments annually, including Social Security checks and federal salaries[3].

2. Office of Personnel Management (OPM): Musk's team has taken control of OPM's computer system, locking out regular employees and gaining access to sensitive information on millions of government employees[4].

3. General Services Administration (GSA): DOGE representatives have reportedly "taken over" the GSA, seeking access to internal systems, laptops, and information about contracts and financial flows[4].

4. U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID): Musk has called for USAID to be shut down, and the agency's website has been removed[4].

5. White House Office of U.S. Digital Service: This office has been officially taken over by Musk's group and renamed[7].

6. Small Business Administration (SBA): DOGE has gained access to all SBA systems, including human resources, contracts, and payment systems[1].

7. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services: DOGE has reportedly gained access to this agency, which handles contracts totaling $1 trillion[2].

In total, Musk and his team have accessed at least 11 agencies, including the Education Department, FAA, and FBI[2]. This takeover gives DOGE access to critical government payment systems, personnel information, and sensitive data of millions of Americans[1][2][4].

At this rate, they'll actually carve Trump's fat pigface onto Mount Rushmore.

This is the corporate raider strategy kicking into high gear.

The US has a lot of valuable assets. The plan is to get into office, sell the assets to oligarchs at pennies on the dollar. This way, the oligarchs have all of the assets and the public is left with all of the debt.

This is a criminal conspiracy to strip the shared wealth that all Americans have in their country and hand it off to a select few.

In this specific case, the practice could also be termed "privatization for profit" or "predatory privatization." It involves the sale of public assets to private interests, who then lease them back to the government at inflated rates, essentially creating a rent-seeking situation.

You cultists are such fnkcin' suckers.

"Trust me bro!" -Bush administration claiming WMD existed in Iraq

"Trust me bro!" - James Clapper denying the NSA was collecting data on Americans

It's outright sadism. That part of the GOP is chock full of sadists. I imagine that circle overlaps with the racist part of the GOP on the GOP personality vendiagram.

"Americans like Trump because he tells it like it is."

"No, no, no, he didn't mean it like that. What he meant was..."

JFC you people get conned over and over.

That's over 3 FBI agents to persecute each defendants.

Persecute? Nah, investigate. It was attempted sedition, unprecedented, yet you refuse to acknowledge as much. Hence your -------- conclusion above.

Swallow it

just needs to rebuilt from the bottom up to delete the fraud, waste and ABUSE.

I'd be on board for that if I had any reason to believe it would ACTUALLY be rebuilt.

Are you that naive? What makes you think they'll "repeal and replace"? In fact, now that I've got your attention, interested in some AZ beach front property by chance?

Any foreign aid as long as we have people living in our own streets

Did you just become a socialist? Or were those socialist leanings just laying in wait?

#19 | Posted by BellRinger

Lazy ----. Why doesn't Rubio specifically lay out how the money being spent is NOT in America's best interest?

There's a very specific reason why not. And I doubt JEFF has the balls to articulate said specifity.

LOL, all you Liberal zipper heads were screaming that Trump was lying when he said he released the water, now you're screaming because he did it without permission.
#24 | Posted by fishpaw

JFC you're even dumber!

You just make ---- up in your head and apply it to some nonexistent liberal just so you can feel good about yourself.

How fnkcin' pathetic can you get?

AWWWWWW YES, THE BEARS ARE REPEATING:

Why ignore thousands of qualified applicants?
#91 | Posted by oneironaut

That's a lie.

Even the lawsuit doesn't say that.

The lawsuit admits the hired people were competent and passed all tests. They just demand it be based entirely on the test and be blind to racial background. That's literally it. They don't claim the shortage is because of it. The lawsuits doesn't even claim more people would be hired.

FACTS:

The FAA has a bottleneck for training. They can't hire more because they can't put them through training. Training takes 18-24 months.

COVID and GOP government shutdowns also caused an issue because training had to be stopped. In a program that takes 2-3 years of training before applying and 18-24 months of onboarding training, that's an huge issue.

Better yet, Republicans block FAA funding increases. So there aren't resources to hire everyone they want. It is cheaper for the FAA to not hire and just give overtime to existing air traffic controllers.

Finally Reagan cut pay huge, put in a retirement age cap, and put in medical leave requirements. So a lot of air traffic controllers have left because they aged out, moved to better paying jobs, or can't transfer to cities they want to be in. The hiring can't make up for it when a lot of people leave at once.

We have NEVER recovered from Reagan firing all the air traffic controllers on strike.

We hired more air traffic controllers in 2024 than any year in the past decade. INCLUDING under Trump.

You are a liar and a racist. Society would be better off if you never left your hole in the ground.
