Musings from the wee hours. I sent these to my three Federal representatives this morning.
- Many references are being made in the news to the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). By what authority is this a government department?
- I understand Elon Musk is very wealthy and probably isn’t drawing a salary, but I see references to other ‘DOGE employees’. Who are these people? Are they being paid by the Federal government? Who determines their salaries? Do they get benefits?
- For years, the Republicans have used ruthless tactics to advance their agendas: gerrymandering congressional districts, the hanging chad riot, McConnell’s obstructionism over the Supreme Court to name but a few. I am a retired Union worker. I have voted Democratic almost exclusively my whole life. When are the Democrats going to show that they can act with similar conviction?
