Can you just envision the Trump Presidential Library and the "Institute for the Study of Rapid Planned Disassembly of the Deep State."

---

Bet his library gets completed before Obama's...

---

I think he should kick the UN out of the HQ building in NYC and repurpose it as the Trump Presidential Library. Would save time and money.

does anyone have a running total of the money Doge has saved?

our deficit is YUGE and hopefully these cuts will fix it

I mean, this is the only way to quickly do it. Also, DOGE team members were given security clearances recently.

Wonder if they are using GROK... offline mode of course..

To the programmers here;
Would the AI program have to be prepared in advance, meaning this was anticipated and planned for weeks or months before President Trump was elected?
Apologies in advance for my ignorance.

The great thing about AI is that it can be built to do exactly what you want it to do. Not all AI's are the same. The people working on this know what they are doing. They are some of the best and brightest or they wouldn't be working for Musk. Musk is running far and away the most advanced businesses in the world. SpaceX and Tesla have done things that no one else has. He couldn't have done it without having many of the best work for him.

They are likely continually refining the AI that they are using to do exactly what they want. The key to an advanced AI is all about the prompts you give it. So in theory, the AI is only as good as the person that built it.

USAID falls under the executive branch. Trump and his designees are, obviously, executive branch. Why can't they tell the judiciary to FO?

They should and probably will. If a court steps in and tries to keep the chief executive from auditing and cleaning up his own house, Bondi would probably be quick to an issue an AG's opinion explaining why it's bull**** and authorize Trump to continue.

This is how skynet started.

Another judge has delayed the federal buyout.

Let's get these cases escalated to the Supreme Court already.

An interesting thought exercise is the president's Impoundment Authority as outlined in the Constitution. Article I, Section 9, known as the Appropriations Clause, grants Congress the "power of the purse," meaning that no money can be drawn from the Treasury without a law appropriating it. Additionally, the Take Care Clause in Article II, Section 3, mandates that the President "shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed."

In the past, if a president didn't like where the money was to be spent he would just impound it.

Congress didn't like that so they passed a law in 1974 called the Impoundment Control Act. Basically, if Congress has allocated money for something the President can hold it up but it has to be released by the end of the fiscal year.

So, with USAID, if Congress has allocated money Trump can hold it up but not stop it.

I think that USAID will continue to exist under a tight mandate under Rubio to fulfill this requirement.

Now, what I don't know is what happens if USAID is completely canceled how it would be handled. Probably one for the courts.

Well if the money has to be spent by end of fiscal year, then just pay down the debt with it. I don't believe Congress has allocated how much has to be spent for what program; it's just a lump sum for the agency to dispurse.

this - just make a statement on how paying the debt will help keep the US from defaulting and therefore it will help other countries that rely on the USD. Therefore, USAID is fulfilling its mission as directed by congress.

If no staff exist at USAID to do the work then what happens.

So, at the end of the year, Trump has USAID give grants of all the remaining money to the Federalist and Heritage Society to do "good things for the world".

He should make the last remaining USAID staff write a check to every actual American citizen. Maybe give us a golf tournament check like in Happy Gilmore!
