To be clear, it would be criminal to do what Trump says to do (destroy 20,000 ballots because a voter’s name appears on a list of unknown provenance); not to not do what he says to do.

NYC is going to put $500k into making pet food available at food pantries. Almost 25% of pet owners have considered rehoming a pet bc of costs. 12% of pet owners have. Sheltering/policing ownerless pets is MORE expensive than making it possible to keep them. This is cute politics and good policy.

The IRS is a great example of where DOGE undermined the core mission: in this case, collecting revenues. It cut 1 in 4 employees, and 1 in 3 of audit specialists. Thats creates revenue losses. It also made it harder for IRS to collect the $66 billion in annual revenues from undocumented immigrants.
If DOGE was interested in cutting the deficit, as it claimed, it would not have engaged in illegal data sharing of immigrants’ identities because doing so has the entirely predictable effect of discouraging immigrants from paying taxes. If DOGE was a white nationalist organization, it would not care about those lost revenues. It did not care about those lost revenues.

Now the Trump administration wants to add a citizenship question to tax returns (and to the Census) to drive those immigrants underground and say goodbye to billions.

So where is Kliger now? As soon as he left the Pentagon, he and other DOGErs raised money for a new startup to sell AI to the Pentagon. It is now valued at $1.4 billion by the DOGE VC sponsors. Meanwhile, Musk is back in government, advising the DOD on what tech to buy.
The start-ups include a host of firms focused on cybersecurity and defense technology, as well as ventures dedicated to helping businesses across America deploy artificial intelligence tools. Among the largest is Cathedral, an AI-enabled cybersecurity firm, founded by Gavin Kliger and Luke Farritor. Valued by investors at $1.4 billion, Cathedral aims to sell to both corporate America and government agencies, including the Pentagon, according to a person familiar with the business, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the firm has not made its operations public.

As Kliger might say: “Wonder what the kickbacks on this latest grift look like.”
