Government brain drain will haunt US after DOGE abruptly terminated.
After Donald Trump curiously started referring to the Department of Government Efficiency exclusively in the past tense, an official finally confirmed Sunday that DOGE “doesn’t exist.”
Talking to Reuters, Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Director Scott Kupor confirmed that DOGE—a government agency notoriously created by Elon Musk to rapidly and dramatically slash government agencies—was terminated more than eight months early. This may have come as a surprise to whoever runs the DOGE account on X, which continued posting up until two days before the Reuters report was published.
As Kupor explained, a “centralized agency” was no longer necessary, since OPM had “taken over many of DOGE’s functions” after Musk left the agency last May. Around that time, DOGE staffers were embedded at various agencies, where they could ostensibly better coordinate with leadership on proposed cuts to staffing and funding.
It is part of why I want the Blue States to break off from the Confederates and build a fresh government. If you are going to replace what was broken, it should be only for people who appreciates what was lost. The MAGA are just going to bring out the chainsaw again…
That’s the conclusion I came to after they decided SNAP was expendable too. The federal government is good for literally nothing. We’ve already been conquered by Russia and this is what it looks like.
