If you haven't read this substack, you should. After all we've endured, after all my family sacrifices to fund our government, change is here.

While media focused on campaign rallies and political theater, a quiet army was being assembled. In offices across DC, veteran strategists mapped the administrative state's pressure points. Think tanks developed action plans for every agency. Policy institutes trained rapid deployment teams. Former appointees shared battlefield intelligence from previous administrations' failures.
By Inauguration Day, over 1,000 pre-vetted personnel stood readyeach armed with clear objectives, mapped legal authorities, and direct lines to support networks. This wasn't just staffing; it was a battle plan decades in the making.
"This is the new normal," Vice President JD Vance declared from his West Wing office, studying real-time data flows across agency systems. "He's having the time of his life," he added, referring to the President's relentless drive. "We've done more in two weeks than others did in years."




Across Washington, officials who had weathered every reform since Reagan began quietly updating LinkedIn profiles. A Deputy Director: "Open to opportunities." An Agency Chief: "Exploring new challenges." A Bureau Head: "Time for change."
DOGE's algorithms weren't just programsthey were archaeology tools, excavating decades of buried networks. Each data point connected to another. Each discovery revealed new targets. Each pattern exposed larger systems.
"It's beautiful," one of the coders whispered, watching connections form across his screen. "Like watching a galaxy map itself."

This is very, very GOOD.

Deep state demolition.

I have a few friends in Government. They know changes are coming and half expect to be fired. One already left as he was pretty sure wfh would go away and his commute would have been unmanageable.

2 of 3 i know are very conservative. Third I don't know that well but her husband is conservative.

If they are dedicated to our country AND good at their jobs I would bet they'll find a spot.

I wonder how long Elon's Wunderkinds have actually been working on this in advance?

Maybe even before the election itself.

That's all well and good. But not a shred of it is constitutional. Of course, if the Supreme Court continues to trash the Constitution, illegality may reign.

Do you even know what is in and what isn't in the constitution?

Not sure if you are a troll or actually in support of rooting out the corruption and misuse of funds.

But this has nothing to do with the constitution and considering that Musk is operating DOGE in an existing agency created by Obama to improve government software, there was nothing for Congress or the Senate to approve. This is part of the Executive branch of gov't who is tasked with carrying out tasks in the gov't.

If you really are interested, read this thread on X. It is about 10 posts..

🧵🧵DOGE - A Lawyer’s Perspective on the @elonmusk @realDonaldTrump Policy Centerpiece

I inherently do not trust the media so I decided to look into DOGE myself and see what is under the hood. Initially I was quite concerned about the legality of a “new agency” created by… pic.twitter.com/FTVSiMmKJB

Does anyone else think Trump would've cut anywhere near this level of wasteful spending and bureaucracy if he had won in 2020? I'm becoming more and more convinced that the level of effectiveness he's had these first 2 weeks would have never happened had he actually won in 2020. I mean, simply the amount of preparation that the substack post talks about that went into DOGE hitting the ground running. I don't think it would've been possible if he had won in 2020. Elon certainly wouldn't have teamed up with Trump then. It took 4 years of Biden to red-pill Musk.

Before I pile on with the others, I'd like to give you the floor to explain how none of this is constitutional and how the USSC has trashed the Constitution.

I'll wait for your explanation. How's that for a conservative being open minded?

This post is meaningless gaslighting fluff with zero substance.

What, specifically, is unconstitutional.

What part of the constitution, specifically, is DOGE violating.

What, specifically, is DOGE doing to violate the constitution.

Why, specifically, is USDS (which is now called DOGE, but is still USDS) doing now that is unconstitutional that USDS has been doing since its inception in 2012 under Obama that was not unconstitutional.

Unsubstantiated claims of "Unconstitutional" with zero analysis of why are just another way of saying: "oh ****, my party is ****ed"

Someone on this thread is a complete idiot with respect to the constitution but i will refrain from calling out by name so as not to get suspended.

So my question is "was this all part of the plan? " We are basically just following the path of what went on when Jimmy Carter was a Dem with high inflation then followed up by Reagan with 8 years of government controls and his Reagonomics. I don't fully understand but I've read where Inflation is a necessary evil for America to reduce is dept as a nation to other countries, and you run up inflation by printing money. Now that it has been achieved you bring in a guy like Trump (Elon) to take an ax to federal employees and extreme pork / waste spending. Anyway, seems this is all part of the plan?

As you can see, I'm no economist (lol) just kind of asking the question above

Or is this Deep State removal ?

Debt to gdp increased under Reagan at just as hot a pace as with others. Drug running to fund cia. Gun running. Etc

This is the dirty little non-secret about Reagan that most people don't understand.

Reagan won the cold war. He did that by effectively communicating with USSR top brass that capitalism was just better, and by outspending the balls off of them militarily.

The latter required huge deficit spending, in the form of military spending and favors to congressmen to get more military spending.

I submit that the economy in the 1980's ramped up due to:
1) Volcker and Reagan getting inflation under control
2) Marginal tax cuts to the top tax brackets that encouraged harder work and more domestic investment
3) Everyone loving America again

Notwithstanding doubt over your interpretation of what Obama did, neither Obama nor any president has the power to create autonomous departments or agencies within the government, let alone expand or modify them. The Constitution is clear -- always has been -- on which branch holds those powers.

Some twitter-er from somewhere may love the language of Trump's executive order, but that makes it no less illegal. Laws and court rulings through the years detail rights of access to information gathered under government powers, and its use, and none of those pertain to Musk's DOGE.

---

A new department wasn't created.

Read this thread more carefully.

You have been tremendously and yugely outsmarted by the genius of DJT.

I have family members that work in government and they are worried for their jobs. Blame Musk and his cronies. Also quite upset that their family has voted for Trump knowing they may lose their jobs.

It's a tough situation.

It has to be done. We were heading for a financial cliff and ruin. How do they not see that? Do they think the deficit and inflation aren't real or believe it's all transitory?

Trump didn't create a new department.

But you haven't worried at all about who was running our whole country the last four years?

Expand or modify them - How has DOGE been expanded to exceed the legislative authority granted to it under Obamacare? How has DOGE been modified to exceed the legislative authority granted under Obamacare? What was the authority granted to DOGE under Obamacare? How has DOGE exceeded that authority?

Laws and court rulings - which laws, which court rulings, and, for that matter, which parts of the Constitution?

This type of generalized "analysis" might cut it with the NPCs on Reddit, but it will get shredded on TexAgs. At least the "twitter-er from somewhere" cited the EO and the relevant text of Obamacare. I see you citing to ****checks thread.......**** nothing.

What part of this is unconstitutional, and why:

USAID fell next. No midnight raids this time. No secret algorithms. Just a simple memo on agency letterhead: "Pursuant to Executive Authority..."

Career officials panickedand for good reason. Created by Executive Order in 1961, USAID could be dissolved with a single presidential signature. No congressional approval needed. No court challenges possible. Just one pen stroke, and six decades of carefully constructed financial networks would face sunlight.

Please read Jeff's Coffee and Covid from today. An amazing piece about how what has been uncovered by DOGE is the root of the complete lack of ingenuity and creativity in art, film, music, and thought. People have been paid to create instead of actually creating and the result is the extreme decline in culture. This article was one of his best and I've been reading it for years.
