DOGE is not a legal entity that has any authority to do what it is trying to do.
The cause may have merits but the method we should all agree is illegal and unconstitutional.
You may not like it but congress needs to make these decisions.

You don’t put someone who stands to make billions from reduced regulations on his personal companies in charge of firing said regulators. This is “how to avoid corruption 101.”
Even if you love doge, there is zero chance Elon exclusively makes decisions that are completely impartial. It’s practically impossible when he can strike fear in any random federal employee, and only hires extremely loyal people. Anyone in that position has so much power.
As a result, you have to hire people for this position who have no conflicts of interest, and who have a strong track record of thoughtful, data-driven decision making, who invite disagreement, and who try to understand problems before pressing the delete button.
You cannot tell me with a straight face that Elon is a good fit for this position without divesting from his personal interests.
100% false.
DOGE is a legal entity that has authority to do what it is trying to do.
Specifically, DOGE is the Department of Government Efficiency, which is a legal entity created by your President inside the USDS. The USDS is a government agency created by President Obama as the "United States Digital Service" and renamed by President Trump as the "United States DOGE Service".
It's authorized. Let's get on with it.
And by "the judicial branch has OK'd it", are you referring to the President's immunity from prosecution for official acts?
That is fundamentally different than "presidents have the power to do whatever they want".

- This ruling doesn't say the government isn't breaking the law, it says the people suing didn't go through the right channels.
- This ruling is not the government winning the case, or the plaintiffs losing the case. Plaintiffs asked for a restraining order and didn't get one.
- There are about 80 different lawsuits against Elon/DOGE right now, for various actions. Multiple judges have granted restraining orders against the government because they think the plaintiffs are likely to prevail in their claim.
I keep hearing all these things about how the voters voted for this and that but uh when did the candidate promise those items?
This is not true as evidenced by your own link below.
And the judicial branch hasn't okayed what he has tried to do, which is why there have been multiple orders issued by multiple courts against his stopping of payments.
He is firmly pro corruption
