If DOGE was ever truly meant to reduce spending and increase efficiency, it stands as one of the most spectacular failures in the history of the federal government.

Boycotts are taking hold. Protests are on the rise. Federal courts are hitting back. The Trump-Musk-Vance regime's popularity is plunging and DOGE is losing credibility. In these dark times, it's important to recognize that people are fighting back. Join them.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

The Trump regime is not the legitimate government of the US; Musk is not an elected official. This is a coup d'état enabled by inaction and secret (not so secret) interests (corruption) among the officials entrusted to protect the country. When all levels of protection fail, there is only you left.
