Remember how billionaire Mark Cuban humiliated himself last year by endorsing Kamala Harris and defending her socialist price-gouging proposals? Good times, right? Although he was allegedly planning to step away from politics after the election, he’s back to his old anti-Trump ways, and he really stepped in it again.
In recent weeks, Cuban has expressed concerns regarding DOGE's transparency, challenging Elon Musk to do something about it.
Cuban isn’t exactly saying anything the radical left hasn’t already said, and of course, the various legal challenges against DOGE have accused Musk of, among other things, not meeting federal transparency regulations.
While advocating for more openness, Cuban suggested that Democrats should join the oversight team, arguing that this inclusion would enhance accountability. “If you have nothing to hide, hide nothing,” he proclaimed.

There’s a palpable irony in his statement, especially considering the myriad of government agencies that operate hidden from public scrutiny, often funding wasteful projects without any oversight. Democrats have been up in arms about Musk’s efforts, not because of any lack of transparency on his part, but because of all the left-wing projects and initiatives that DOGE has exposed. Suddenly, the USAID slush fund for leftist causes worldwide was shut down.
I was previously under the impression that Cuban was going to step away from politics after gambling away his reputation by backing Kamala, but I guess he’s still trying to pretend to be relevant. Maybe he’s angling for an invite to Mar-a-Lago like his "Shark Tank" co-star Kevin O’Leary.

I keep waiting for one of these crazy lefties to set themselves on fire in front of the WH.
It is coming...
Put it on pay per view. I would pay good money to watch that.
And it was a brilliant move for the Mavs to trade Doncic for AD, who is now out for several weeks after his first game.
Dems had the last four years to sort this out. As someone once said, “Elections have consequences”
“If you have nothing to hide, hide nothing,”
…only problem is they have EVERYTHING TO HIDE!!
I thought Cuban sold the basketballl team?
I had read speculation(here?) that he was suffering from an early onset of dementia?
I would not be surprised, if DOGE finds some substantial part of the waste finding its way to Mark’s pockets.
“I keep waiting for one of these crazy lefties to set themselves on fire in front of the WH”
Nothing like an errant Iranian FE ordinance getting through US air defenses and striking the rally. Just like we need to do at Pally funerals for radical extremists.
Last I saw he was transitioning into Rachel Maddow.
What exactly is DOGE not sufficiently transparent about? I want specifics. I think he’s BS’ing.
Cuban morphs more and more into middle aged lesbian.
Huh? To himself or others. He’s never been relevant as far as I’m aware. Just cause you have money doesn’t mean you’re relevant.
More proof that you do not need to be remotely intelligent to be rich. Needless to say, there are many, many examples of this truth everywhere you look.
Lefty billionaires can say anything anytime and 25 networks will make it their lead story.
It’s really up to Congress to get budgeting under control.
For each major part of the government [departments, Congress, President]:
a. a standard function budget bill,
b. a continuing projects funding bill,
c. a new projects funding bill.
Then a death bill effective at the start of the fiscal year:
Anything not funded by the bills above shall no longer be funded.
It’s really the responsibility of department career professionals to state their needs and desires to Congress in writing and then let Congress decide.
Any part of the government not mentioned in a Fiscal Year 2026 funding bill is terminated at close of business September 30th, 2025.
The following are terminated with immediate effect...
