California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) announced Thursday that his state would due the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) over cuts to the federal AmeriCorps volunteer program.
AmeriCorps was established by President Bill Clinton to provide volunteer opportunities on American soil (the Peace Corps, established under President John F. Kennedy, focuses on volunteer service abroad).
Elon Musk’s DOGE made cuts to the program this week, after half of AmeriCorps’ 600 employees had already accepted a voluntary severance package. Many volunteers across the nation were also let go from the agency.

(that his state would due)
Where’s Sue?
Being a lawyer is a well paid vocation these days. Everyone wants to SUE his neighbor.
He doesn’t have one.
That’s likely why’s losing his bleep.
The people pulling his strings don’t need or want him to know.
Sucks to be you, Newsom.
Now cue the world’s tiniest violin...
DEMOCRAT California Gov. Gavin Newsom
is a childish, crude, pro-Gay Pride Parade,
unrepentant baby-killing ghoul of Satan
Whatsamatter gavin.....you big mad because Elon unplugged your ATM machine? 🤣🤣🤣
DOGE DOESN’T ‘CUT’ ANYTHING!...........................
It sounds like slave labour.
Meanwhile, burned LA is not being rebuilt.
There is no money
A great point....from what I can tell DOGE is doing nothing more than performing the mother of all audits and providing recommendations.......which is about 40 years past-due IMO.
That’s all DOGE does, audit teh books!
They have no authority to make any ‘cuts’ in programs or personnel.
All they can do is show those in authority what they have uncovered, then those in authority can make the decisions to cut or not.......................
Sound like a sort of secular Jesuits, carrying out the edicts of the Green Pope. Constantly meddling, worse than the Scooby gang.
The “F___” word has lost its potency. Droolers who use it in every other sentence are boring the rest of us.
The article calls AmeriCorps personnel “employees”; but it also speaks of them as “volunteers”.
I don’t think those are compatible terms.
I think they are nothing but community organizers.
Take a number Gavin.
I’m waiting for Head Start to feel the burn.
Gotta admit Mayor Newsom struck gold when he ok’d gay marriage in SF.
Hes the kinda’ guy that publicly declaring he is going to rehab and publicly stating he didnt go.
The entitlement factor with this one is strong. Consider the fact he is the spawn of one of the Four Families of Calif and they started a long time ago in their grift and graft of California.
Maybe Gavin doesn’t want to lose some of his kickback income.
Slick and Cankles wanted a universal youth program, tasked with brainwashing our young people, which I dubbed the Hillary Youth, but had to settle for something much less ambitious.
No, ‘gavin” honey...f*** YOU.
One question: severance pay for “volunteers”?
The “volunteers” were paid.
Now if they want to truly volunteer they are free to do so.
