Who Ate Your Milk-Bone? The New Republic Rages Musk’s ‘DOGE Cuts Could Kill Your Dog’
NewsBusters ^ | 3/5/2025 | Joseph Vazquez

We thought we had seen it all with the astronomically stupid media takes surrounding Elon Musk and DOGE cutting up the federal government’s credit cards, but lefty magazine The New Republic just potentially one-upped them all.

“Elon Musk’s DOGE Cuts Could Kill Your Dog,” TNR staff writer Kate Aronoff grumbled in an insane March 5 screed.

Aronoff took aim at Musk’s reported cuts at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which Aronoff railed “could have unexpectedly deadly consequences for your pets—not to mention your own health.” Aronoff was adamant that the cuts would hinder NOAA’s ability to pass information “about harmful algal growth and toxicity on to municipal water treatment plants in time for them to protect people, pets, and businesses from being poisoned.”

Uh, it’s pretty safe to assume that canines don’t exactly care about President Donald Trump and Musk slashing enormous waste in the federal government. That includes the climate change-obsessed NOAA which boasted a bloated $6.7 billion from then-President Joe Biden's Consolidated Appropriations Act in 2024.

Good grief.

These people don’t just tolerate the Nanny-State, they demand it!

My dog Henry and my cows eat in the morning before I do. I’m not worried.

My dog likes to drink out of random puddles in the street and on the sidewalk. He doesn’t drink out of the toilet anymore. So algae growth in the water distribution system won’t affect him.

What? They’ve backed off from “Children will die” to just “Dogs will die”?

I guess things weren’t as serious as they first claimed.

But the dogs are already being killed (and eaten) by illegal immigrants enabled by USAID.

My dog threw up this morning after eating about half of her food. I was going to blame Trump, but I found out my wife laid down weed and feed yesterday. Just checked in, the pooch is ok.

lol, was never going to blame Trump.

So.... They are fear mongering to dogs which progressives call their “fur-babies” since they aren’t having babies of their own.
