Summary

Elon Musk claims his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is shutting down payments to federal contractors, including a Lutheran charity, asserting it is eliminating corruption.

This suggests DOGE has access to Treasury’s payment systems, though officials have not confirmed the extent.

Senator Ron Wyden warned that DOGE may interfere with Social Security, Medicare, and government contracts.

Musk also called USAID “a criminal organization” that should “die,” amid DOGE’s growing influence over federal financial operations.

    I reject that defeatist attitude. It’s time for tax strike and general strike and mass protests across the country as next step

      I think we can pretty much skip the first step, wouldn’t do us much good. Protests planned at every state capital on the 5th.
