They’re coming for Social Security and Medicare. You may not care much about USAID but Musk’s minions claimed the whole thing was fraudulent based on nothing, and used that as an excuse to illegally shut it down. What’s to stop them from doing the same to Social Security?
I do think DOGE is going to be able to actually balance the budget. People used to say, "You can't, because look at these sacred categories: There's x in entitlements, y in healthcare, you can't change those." But how much in those sacred categories is fraud/waste/abuse?

Tax breaks for the rich and corporations are not popular anywhere, as Republicans in Congress are about to find out. Strong ad from @UnrigOurEconomy.
