I think I’m going to be sick. We have 1000s of people who work in government. Can’t some of them wrestle Musk and his Hitler youth to the ground?! Can’t police jail them for breaking countless laws?! Stopping them means physically stopping them. Like toddlers they simply ignore all the words & laws.

If a Democrat were doing what Nate’s doing there’d be Republican death threats against them AND their FAMILIES! How can we turn tables on Nate and his fellow goons?

Some DOGE team members, including Musk, are designated as “Special Government Employees,” These positions can be paid or unpaid, and this type of employee is not beholden to the same rules as typical federal workers. buff.ly/HUGIm2n

What happened to Elon getting these guys to work for free, and for 80 hours a week even? I thought these were selfless little democracy-destroying nazi prigs, doing it for the rush of bringing down the man, owning the libs, etc. Now I gotta learn they're greedy sellouts? What is the world coming to?

Ah yes, the true mark of patriotism: six-figure taxpayer-funded salaries and free luxury smart beds. Nothing says ‘love of country’ like getting paid top dollar to burn it down—while sleeping comfortably.

...so if is accepted as fact that the executive branch doesn't hv the power to create an essentially roge inspector general department- let alone fire the existing IG's...why the f#*k is everyone accepting this situation fait accompli?!

Someone better inform ol 3 toes MTG since she was saying federal workers were mooching off the taxpayers money and should get real jobs. Tell her we found some very unqualified and actual moochers.

For all the non federal employees out there: those DOGE salaries are a slap in the face to the majority of federal employees who get paid WAY less than that.
