DOGE Wasted Tens of Billions While Chainsawing the Government in the Name of 'Efficiency': Senate Report | Common Dreams
Elon Musk's DOGE wasted more than $21 billion in just six months. Other studies have found that in the longterm it may cost the government more than it saved, while resulting in millions of deaths.
Muskโs DOGE burned $21 billion in six months. Fourteen billion paid to workers not working. Six billion more in severance. IRS cuts may cost up to $2.4 trillion. USAID slashed, food and meds spoiled. One million dead already. Trump calls it savings. The math calls it a crime.

Jeffries: "These extremists want to be able to choose their voters as opposed to allowing the Texas voters to choose the people who should be privileged to represent them in Washington. It's theft. That's what gerrymandering in its extreme form is."

REALITY CHECK:
Texas Democrats earn 45% of the voteโbut under the GOPโs new gerrymandered map, theyโd get just 21% of the seats.
Thatโs not representation. Thatโs rigging the system.
