Over 20 DOGE Workers Quit, Refuse to ‘Dismantle Critical Public Services’ Under Elon Musk’s Direction

Over 20 DOGE Workers Quit, Refuse to ‘Dismantle Critical Public Services’ Under Elon Musk’s Direction

More than 20 workers at Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have opted to resign rather than “dismantle critical public services,” the Associated Press reported Tuesday.

“We swore to serve the American people and uphold our oath to the Constitution across presidential administrations,” the 21 workers wrote in a joint resignation letter. “However, it has become clear that we can no longer honor those commitments.”

I respect how the 21 DOGE employees who just quit en masses gave their resignation letter to AP as an exclusive. No rookies on this team. - Michael Skolnik

They, Truly, Don't Know WTF They're Doing.
White House Secretary Karoline Leavitt again refused to produce the name of the person running the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) — under pointed questioning from reporters in the White House press corps.

Reporter: “Mr. Secretary, why did you select an under qualified retired lieutenant general to be the next Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff?”

Hegseth: “I’m gonna choose to reject your unqualified question.”

Judge blocks OPM, Education Department from sharing personal info with DOGE

Judge blocks OPM, Education Department from sharing personal info with DOGE

A federal judge has barred the Education Department and the Office of Personnel Management — the government’s massive HR department — from sharing sensitive information with Elon Musk’s “Department of Government Efficiency,” saying the decision to grant DOGE access appears to breach federal privacy laws.

BREAKING: The Connecticut Attorney General announces that he is SUING Donald Trump and DOGE for unconstitutional access to the Treasury Department.

Wow, Canadian Petition Wants To Strip Musk Of Citizenship
More than 150,000 people from Canada have signed a parliamentary petition calling for their country to strip Elon Musk’s Canadian citizenship because of the tech billionaire’s alliance with Donald Trump, who has spent his second US presidency repeatedly threatening to conquer its independent neighbor to the north and turn it into its 51st state.

Trump and Elon are going to "audit" Fort Knox. Or as they call it in Hollywood, Ocean's 47. - adgirlMM

Democrats Urge Defiance

House Democrats are pressing every major agency head in Washington to reject the recent demand from Elon Musk that federal workers must detail their recent work accomplishments or be fired.

More than 100 Democrats endorsed a Monday letter to the leaders of 24 federal agencies characterizing Musk’s missive — and a subsequent memo from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) reinforcing it — as an illegal move without precedent or binding force.

California Dreaming

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) has requested that Congress appropriate nearly $40 billion to support communities affected by the wildfires that devastated the Los Angeles region last month.

Recognizing that “the total impact on California’s economy will take years to fully quantify,” the governor asked for about $39.68 billion, in a letter sent late Friday to congressional leadership and to the chairs of each chamber’s appropriations committee.

O Canada! 💖

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has taken a slapshot at President Donald Trump after America’s northern neighbor emerged victorious in the 4 Nations Face-Off.

“You can’t take our country — and you can’t take our game,” the PM posted on X after his country’s thrilling overtime win, an apparent dig at Trump, who had taunted Trudeau as “Gov. Trudeau” after weeks of pledging to annex Canada as America’s 51st state.

trump rooted for the Chiefs, even flew to the game, costing taxpayers $24M, and went down on the field & shook their hands. Then they got their asses kicked. trump rooted for Team USA hockey, even calling them before the game. Then they got crushed. Everything trump touches dies. - aintscarylarry
