Defund the left.
Every single department should be asked for a statement that specifically Asks them To justify where in the Constitution their job is defined
IMHO, the low hanging fruit are the ones that don’t have congressional authority. Those are the ones that can be shut down with the least blowback from the left.
Take the low hanging fruit first - that’s the road map for Elon and Vivek also for Tom Homan.
Buttigieg: See? Resorting to the name calling fruit thing so soon.
1st fundamental restructuring of the US Federal Government in over 100 years. Way past time for it. Our Government still operates as if the Great Depression, WW2 and the Cold War are still going on.
Planned Parenthood
Slash and burn.
FEMA!
We should brainstorm ideas here
And figure out a way to get them to Vivek and Elon
One good one would be to require each department to write a letter justifying their existence from the US Constitution.
Let’s just see how many departments we got.
Anyone that does not reply automatically gets funding cut off
The priority should be to used the process to educate the public and win them over. First start with the FDA on how long it takes drugs to get approved in the USA, the same drugs one can buy in other countries.
Then move on to something like the EPA which has some crazy air pollution laws. One of my favorite catch 22’s that I have been personally involved with is for a “polluting manufacturer” who wants to modify their production process to dramatically reduce pollution, not being allowed to make the modification, unless they totally upgrade the plant to state of the art (and unproven) improvements. The EPA has an all or nothing policy that keeps many pants from making any improvements because it triggers a complete baseline evaluation.
Again, select changes that will reduce federal process and yet provide citizens with real and measurable benefits.
Half their shows being hosted by conservatives would go a long way toward sanity.
Or better, 100% of their shows. They’ve had a monopoly for the last 50 years. So it’s OUR turn. In 50 years we’ll split the shows....
I know a stupid cat lady who lives for NPR’s “fair” and public broadcasting. She spouts off all the time about how it is public radio and has to be the gospel truth.
I can’t wait to see how she reacts to this if by Gods grace it happens.
Good call!
First it was the Grace Commission, then reinventing government under Al Gore. Now DOGE. Vivak and Elon better get results this time—but I won’t hold my breath.
Call a press conference to report the animal experiments are being ended and announce it will save $100 million dollars. Say more savings will be announced next week.
The roar from animal lovers will drown out the anti-Trump trouble makers.
Start out safe and then work into whacking NPR and other worthless organizations that torment language, Constitution, trafficked children, and women.
Look at programs that are not within the legislation that created the organization. Plus departments have an Office of Civil rights. Tasks can move to HR.
The Department of Education should be on their hit list.
I agree with the “low hanging fruit” concept, but recommend that the first targets be things that can’t stand up to any sort of scrutiny. Let the Leftists howl “O’ the Humanity!” over worthless programs and the poor goobermint employees, then show the public why these programs are obvious wastes of funds that accomplish nothing or are duplicated elsewhere.
After several rounds of that wears out the media’s attention span, move on to items that have tougher constituencies. NPR and public radio will likely open up arguments about censorship, political payback, etc., and bog down the whole effort.
