Summary

Donald Trump appointed billionaires and major donors like Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to lead his new “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE), aiming to cut $2 trillion from federal spending and dismantle regulations.

DOGE will operate outside federal oversight, focusing on slashing programs and weakening regulatory agencies, including the IRS and Department of Education.

Critics warn that DOGE and broader deregulatory measures will benefit wealthy corporations, aligning with Trump’s agenda to extend tax cuts for the rich and favor oligarchic interests over public welfare, further cementing U.S. plutocracy.

    A new federal agency can only be created by an act of congress

    According to who? And who is going to enforce that?

    Elon and Trump are not bound by the law. They’ll do whatever the fuck they want and nobody is going to stop them. The GOP is full of spineless bitches we grovel at their feet.

    Rule of law is dead. The Justice system is dead.
