For the first time in my senior existence I see Government actually paying attention to how our tax dollars and pro-rata debt are being spent. Pork barrel riders on our legislation are slowly being found out and routed out. Corrupt dark forces hiding behind a curtain of altruism are being exposed. I like that these young, but extremely smart, DOGE workers have not yet been contaminated by lobbyists and brow beaten by entrenched corrupt politicians. They are immune to the whoring pharma paid rants by the likes of Warren and Sanders. They are diving deep enough to find deep State corruption and fast enough to prevent being stopped. A Government by the people and for the people is coming back.

It has to be obvious to all Americans by now why the deep state didn't want Trump to be president and represent "We the people". I admire President Trump's will not to bend or quit.

Of course, we still have many doing negative spin on this transitional time in the history of the United States.

Too many negative Nannie’s IMO. I’m all for exposing it all!

With Trump since '15.

Yes, my hope is that Govt by the people...is coming back, but can we expect that if the framework that assured the Constitutional Rights of the people, backed by legal structures that assured our rights is being trampled by the DOGE team--and I'm certain that under Biden these were being trod on even more heavily but does that give Musk license to be so heavy handed without clearance--can we expect that this framework of protection will spring back? Because, we still need this framework as evidenced by the Biden Admin's march toward totalitarianism. We cannot just cheer the team that is uncovering the ugly truths if their tactics now leave us vulnerable to further loss of privacy and trampling by future administrations.

DOGE is truly independent from government bias, and their clearance to operate is under the President of the United States, who is the head of the Executive Branch.

The Deep State aka Administrative State is a shadow government that is not authorized under our Constitution, and circumvents our truly elected officials and the Principles of our Republic. They work independent of our laws, and in fact, break our laws, and were instrumental in the censorship of Americans during and after COVID, and worked hand in glove to prevent Trump from being president.

The pendulum is changing direction, and I pray it will land on the side of freedom, true transparency, fiscal responsibility, and a return to morality.

Correct...it is naturally a concern...but remember we will never know all the details as too much happening...Musk/Team only acts upon approval by the chief executive (Trump), IMO no different than any organization undergoing an audit like by a CPA firm...the job is to audit the data. Of course there is a concern that the new good guys turn into bad guys over time, as that is what our founders were concerned with 250 years ago. It's good to be aware that some uncomfortable things might be done in this process, but it is a war, and it is a revolution against the left, and things need to be corrected one way or another. I've often thought of the American Revolution, where the British would make the rules of warfare, and the colonists made their own rules in order to rid themselves of tyranny...and who won that? The Trump Team is doing what they must, and it is exceedingly difficult...I back it all 100%...and as a former auditor...I would be in there taking names and kicking butt.

Excellent points, especially looking at it as an audit. Looking forward to the other conformations: Tulsi, Bobby, and Kash.

Watched an interview with Victor Hansen Davis—his take on the ones he nominated for his cabinet was that they are not elitists, not career politicians, and a lot of them were targeted by the very organizations they are about to lead. Retribution? Vindictive? No, wise, because Trump learned from his first term, that elitists, career politicians, and career bureaucrats were the ones that attacked him or kept him from succeeding. Not this time!

I see no privacy loss or trampling of rights. Is there any known resultant privacy or loss of rights associated with this purge of corruption ? I am more suspect of other Government authorized clearance wrong doing than I am of the DOGE team. Technically, I believe they do have clearance.
