Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY2025 was not only than in FY2024 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.*
The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths.

If your political strategy is putting your thumb on the scale against the will of voters through gerrymandering and rigging the census, that’s minority rule. You don’t believe in democracy or the Constitution — you believe in fascism.
