DOGE must keep moving fast — despite Democrats’ sound, fury and lawsuits
New York Post ^ | Feb. 8, 2025 | Post Editorial Board

Posted on 02/08/2025 8:43:04 AM PST by MinorityRepublican

Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency has Democrats furious and the Washington establishment a-boil — desperately trying to mire DOGE’s “break things and move fast” in lawfare and other counterpunching.

But the drive to uncover government waste and projects directly opposed by the public must not stop.

President Trump and his minion Musk need to keep the disruption growing, shining sunlight into dark fiscal corners.

Friday saw lefty “consumer advocacy” group Public Citizen team up with the University of California student government to sue to stop DOGE from getting Education Department data, citing supposed privacy concerns even though it’s working lawfully through the renamed US Digital Service.

And another lawsuit led by big-gorilla unions — including perennial progressive villain SEIU — has so far stymied DOGE access to Labor Department data.

Members of the same crew, which also includes labor giants the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees and the American Federation of Government Employees, are suing DOGE over its right to access payment and other information via the US Treasury.

Federal Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly has temporarily and seriously restricted that access, too, but she’s a committed ideologue, most notorious for snickering that a sick and elderly woman she sentenced to years in prison for an abortion-clinic protest might die while locked up (ha, ha?).

In Boston, another federal judge paused until at least Monday the DOGE-led buyout deadline for federal employees in response to another lawsuit with plaintiffs including AFGE, AFSCME and the National Association of Government Employees.

Then again, about 60,000 of those unions’ members have reportedly already agreed to the buyout: Derailing it puts the unions at odds with those workers’ interests.

It’s time for the DOGE to rev the engine and shift into high gear!

The traitorous Demonicrats and DeepStaters are scurrying around trying to hide their part in giving aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States.

Democrats are out of their minds. Which is no surprise to anyone. I get a laugh when they call Musk an “unelected” person. Tell me who voted for the head of USAID, for example? It is 100% the prerogative of the POTUS to manage agencies and appoint advisors. Congress abdicated their role decades ago. They are a clown show incapable of taking back their Constitutional responsibilities.

They aren’t even trying to hide it. They, and their media allies just ignore it.

The legal challenges to DOGE need to be escalated to the SCOTUS immediately to shut down their attempts to hide the corruption.

Additionally, I think DJT, Musk/DOGE and the cabinet Secretaries should have a live emergency press conference to explain exactly what is going on. There has to be a massive rally to get behind the effort to expose the corruption and to protect these people doing the work for us,

These liberal leftist people making outrageous comments and inciting violence need to be called out, by name PUBLICLY. And those involved with or inciting violence must be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

This crap ends NOW!

I’m pretty sure the guys who work 80+ hours a week don’t need a pep talk from some part time paper pushers.

Note to Democrats - when you have been running a trillion dollar money laundering scheme to steal taxpayer money maybe trying to use lawfare on the legal system is not the best of ideas.

It gives the (correct) impression of a criminal cover up.

The Trump card response on this is for DOJ to formally up the ante to a full blown criminal forensic audit, which is exactly what is happening informally.

It’s token resistance by the Democrats. Their base demands they do something, but they know in the end it won’t work.

As Chuck Schumer said, the people are aroused. Keep it up, DOGE.

So to speak.

For years Congress punted their power and duties to the Executive. Now the Executive acts and they cry for the loss of federal jobs.

Not one USAID program did they defend. Did we save millions of foreign children from starving? Repair their cleft palates?

Surely we did one appropriate thing with the funding. I'm not sure. No one is pointing out anything at all.

Wait, Time Magazine's cover presented Trump as Musk's minion. MSM will have to get the story straight.

One does not think that it's possible for Ed and Labor Depts, "Gorilla" unions, universities, and NGOs to look any (any) guiltier by their actions and statements.

Hiding things?

Everyone suspects they are, it's just a matter of how far they go to prevent us to learn what they don't want us to learn (before we learn it, HAH!)
