Who is Scared of the DOGE Caucus? By Chris Knight (Florida),
Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has been exposing massive multi-billion-dollar waste, inefficiencies and corruption, in various US government departments, with USAID being seen as so corrupt that it was closed down entirely, and its duties transferred to the State Department. Few of us even suspected that so much fraud and corruption was going on, with money being funnelled into schemes, and back out to the Democrats. There will be investigations leading to prosecutions.
The mainstream media and the Left have now given the freak-out that we thought would come from Trump tackling illegal immigration, to Musk's DOGE. No, a nerve has been probed, as funding for much of the Leftist activities is exposed, all coming from the bleeding taxpayer.
There has been formed what has been called a DOGE Caucus, which is the more than 100 Congressional lawmakers, who are fully supporting what Musk is doing. The counter by the Democrats is that Musk is unelected and is exceeding his powers. The reply is that Trump appointed him to this executive position, and he is executing duties authorised by Trump. Part of Trump's power as president is to be able to make delegations. Thus, Musk is not making law, but enforcing it, which is within the sphere of jurisdiction of the executive.
It is just that the parasites who have been feeding off the public purse, object to losing their free lunches, and free everything else.

"More than 100 congressional lawmakers have lined up behind the goal of cutting government waste, as Republicans and Democrats wage an aggressive ideological battle over the merits of Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
The Congressional DOGE Caucus was founded shortly after President Donald Trump tapped Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to lead an advisory panel on where the federal bureaucracy could be trimmed.
That effort is now being led by Musk alone, and it's attracted fierce criticism from Democratic lawmakers who call him an unelected bureaucrat with too much control over the federal government despite no prior experience inside of it.
But in the House, enthusiasm for the mission is still strong. Fox News Digital was told more than 100 members are part of the DOGE Caucus – which is more than one in five House lawmakers.
The group's members are currently working on legislative items aimed at reducing government spending and forwarding specific items on Trump's agenda, Fox News Digital was told.
The caucus, led by Reps. Aaron Bean, R-Fla., Pete Sessions, R-Texas, and House GOP Conference Vice Chair Blake Moore, R-Utah, has had two meetings so far.
During the second session, lawmakers were asked which of eight different working groups they wanted to be a part of, after which those groups would focus on finding areas to trim government waste in their designated areas.
Documents obtained by Fox News Digital after the second meeting showed the working groups are: "Retirement," "safety net and family support," "emergency supplementals," "natural resources and permitting," "homeland and legal," "defense and [veterans affairs]," "workforce and infrastructure," and "finance and government operations."
Fox News Digital was told those member selections have been made, and the groups are "in full swing."
The caucus has seen significant interest from outside the Washington, D.C., Beltway as well, according to numbers shared with Fox News Digital.
More than 40,000 people have reached out to the DOGE Caucus' email tip line, and Fox News Digital was told that some ideas "for how to cut waste, fraud, and abuse" were shared with Musk's DOGE team.
A source in the room during the group's previous meeting told Fox News Digital that Bean also challenged lawmakers to introduce at least one bill each aimed at cutting government waste."
