The Department of Government Efficiency isn’t just an inaccurate name, its savings claims are also wrong.
DOGE is a dodge from accountability—a sideshow to distract from trillions Republicans are preparing to add to our national debt as they enable Musk/Trump & billionaires to get more tax breaks.

Ambushing Ukrainian President Zelensky wasn't the only way Trump waved the white flag of surrender to Putin on Friday.
His incompetent Defense Sec said not to worry about the Russian mafia cybertheft and attacks on Americans; he has now endangered us all by suspending cyber planning against Russia.
As House GOP schemes to undo modest progress in protecting the planet, I remain committed to clean energy solutions & reducing pollution.
Adding to my long string of A+ scores, I got a 100% from League of Conservation Voters for my work to reverse the climate crisis & advance environmental justice.
Trump and Vance disgustingly accused Zelensky in the Oval Office this afternoon of "being disrespectful" and "gambling with World War III," but the only disrespect and international disorder blatantly demonstrated is Trump’s joining other authoritarians in embracing war criminal Putin.
The GOP-approved Musk slash and burn approach is endangering our families in so many ways while mistreating dedicated public servants, many of whom are vets. (2/2)
DOGE = A clown car of chaos, fumbles, senseless switches, and propaganda—NOT effective audits.
Instead of a belated tweet for returnees, rehire the fired controller safety equipment worker in Austin and other FAA employees who train and support controllers and our airport expansion. (1/2)
In the middle of tax season, Trump/Musk are making it harder for you to get your IRS refund. Now, they are scheming to cut taxpayer assistance.
Not a peep from Republicans as the IRS is starved of resources needed to respond to Americans and to finance national security & other public investments.
Trump promised to lower prices, but prices continue to rise as families are forced to choose between groceries or necessary medications.
Now, Republicans want to cut SNAP for over 3M Texans to pay for more tax breaks for billionaires.
Food banks can't fill all the gaps created by a GOP budget.
Congratulations to Huston-Tillotson University on celebrating 150 years of excellence as Austin's oldest institution of higher education. I applaud their dedication and commitment to preparing students to shape our workforce across Texas.
Here's to another 150 years of growth and impact!
To say this wrongful action is necessitated by the national debt ignores GOP demands making that debt bigger and bigger to fund more billionaire tax breaks. (2/2)
More cuts coming to build a body count of fired employees as a DOGE trophy, then politicize & privatize—return to corrupt spoils system that predated nonpartisan civil service, privatize anything that will profit some billionaire after public dissatisfaction w/deliberately weakened federal services.
Austin Community College is so important to Central Texas. Whether there or in the halls of Congress, it's always great to meet with ACC leaders.
Amid attacks on our education system, we must protect student financial assistance to ensure all have the opportunity to succeed.
Silence endangers Ukrainians and emboldens our adversaries to replace the rules-based world order established by both parties’ leaders since WWII ended. 2/2
Trump’s siding with North Koreans against an overwhelming UN vote to condemn Putin's invasion & continuing to blame the murdered rather than the murderer is appalling.
While Ukrainians dodge bullets and missiles, most GOP seem cowed into silence about this wrongdoing fearing a mean Trump tweet. 1/2
House GOP narrowly passed their "wreck"onciliation bill, marching our nation closer to billions in health care cuts that deny many Americans access to a family physician and affordable health care.
A disgraceful attack on working families in exchange for tax breaks to further enrich billionaires.
The GOP's budget “wreck”onciliation bill wrecks lives and our Nation's finances.
Millions will lose health protection and educational opportunities, yet the GOP will add an astounding $4 trillion to national debt. Why?
The GOP is betraying working families to deliver tax breaks to billionaires.
The Trump/Musk DOGE is a sideshow in a multi-ring circus of deception—designed to create the illusion that billions are being saved from waste and abuse, when DOGE itself is the abuse. No wonder 21 DOGE employees resigned.
Since Putin's unjustified, brutal invasion of Ukraine 3 yrs ago, he's been responsible for the murder of thousands, the kidnapping of thousands more & the destruction of villages/towns. Meanwhile, Trump blames the murdered, not the murderer.
Silent GOP colleagues must speak out or remain complicit.
Today, as the UN overwhelmingly approved a resolution condemning Russian aggression in Ukraine and calling for the return of wrongfully occupied territory, Trump disgracefully joined Russia and North Korea in voting "NO."
Unless you are a tax cheat, former Democratic and GOP IRS Commissioners agree: DOGE’s wrecking ball to the IRS as tax season begins only harms all of us paying our taxes, many of whom expect a refund check.
Undermining the IRS’s ability to answer phones and collect taxes lets tax cheats run wild.
