Pete Buttigieg on DOGE. He started this segment making the distinction that if DOGE was about efficiency he’d be all for it because the layers of process in government make stuff hard to achieve & it’s what he worked on as mayor. But it’s not, it’s about consolidating power.

It also doesn’t help that they “employed” angsty teens and rejects who aren’t at all qualified or skilled to make the changes needed for actual government efficiency. It is a clear retaliation effort that can easily hide behind the notion of efficiency to their “base”

Positive Pittsburgher1 year ago

If any member of the previous administration truly believed in making the government more efficient, they would have worked to do so over the last 4 years. They are only claiming to be "pro-efficiency" because that is what everyone should be! But it is just lip service.

Pete did work on efficiency at the USDOT.

He want's no reductions - just a more efficient, more powerful bureaucracy.

That comment doesn’t correlate to anything Pete said in that clip or the interview.

The way he gave Mok that confident look, but as soon as the door closed, he was on the verge of crying. And it’s not just because of the situation — it’s because he has to be away from Mok. He’d rather have him by his side, even if it’s ‘just for duty,’ than not have him at all.

Progressives like Pete Buttigieg support increasing government efficiency—that's just not what Musk's DOGE is doing.

Pete Buttigieg on Trump: “This is a strategy to get us talking about the latest, crazy thing that he did, whatever urban legend he amplifies — right now it’s about people eating cats or geese or whatever — because he cannot afford for us to be talking about his record.”

I don’t know If it’s funny or sad that Elon was working hard on DOGE, but decided it would be easier to make autonomous robots and get to mars than rein in federal spending.

I want to connect some dots for you. What is similar about the four agencies DOGE targeted first? They all intersect with major business interests of Musk and Trump's billionaire cabal. DOGE isn't about government efficiency. It's about making the billionaires richer.

On Air Force One, President Trump makes clear that the DOJ isn’t releasing the Epstein files due to politics. He doesn’t say it’s due to ongoing appeals or not wanting to upend longstanding DOJ policy; it’s all about politics. He doesn’t even say it’s because he doesn’t want innocent people to be caught up in the saga. It’s all about politics.

As the event drew to a close, Musk offered one final reflection—not just on DOGE, but on the machinery of government itself. “There are many things that occur in the government because it’s the banal evil of bureaucracy,” he said. What followed was a blunt diagnosis of a system that seems designed not to solve problems, but to survive them. “It’s sort of the, frankly, largely uncaring nature of bureaucracy,” Musk explained. Then he turned to Milton Friedman, quoting a line that had clearly stayed with him. “As the great Milton Friedman said: ‘Money is spent most poorly when it is someone else’s money being spent on people you don’t know.’” That, he said, is how federal spending works. And fixing it? Nearly impossible. “You can’t really even blame the individuals,” Musk continued, “because the way the government works is complaint minimization. When someone within the government tries to stop that money being spent, there’s usually someone that complains—and then their manager will say, it’s not worth the trouble.” Still, Musk ended on a note of optimism. “I think it was an important thing, I think it was a necessary thing, and I think it will have a good effect in the future.” The message was clear: he may have been stepping away, but DOGE—his vision for a leaner, more honest government—was just getting started.

Mike Benz explains how when DOGE first started it was making the government work how it was supposed to work, even taking the power away from top FBI bureaucrats He says this worked because Trump deferred to Elon Musk to handle things Now Mike Benz says the cabinet has regained much of the power and it’s back to “business as usual” “What happened with DOGE and why can't we sustain the pace? And is there any hope of getting back to a fast pace?” Mike Benz “What I know from my contacts in the admin, I was told by multiple people at multiple different agencies that DOGE was a complete game changer because whereas agencies were previously ruled by careers I was talking about this, for example, with the FBI. We have four political appointees at the FBI. There's 38,000 FBI employees. So it's 4 versus 38,000. The great equalizer in the first couple of months of the admin was that DOGE were in the building and they directly had the deputized power of the Office of Management and Budget effectively to just cut the budgets of anybody in the career class, shut down any department, freeze the funding. If you were a career and you were trying to be insubordinate against the politicals, doge could come in and make the careers have to respect the politicals because if they didn't do what they were told in the chain of command, you'd get doged. That was a game changer. My contacts at state and DHS and in the early USAID were all telling me, oh my God, the agency for the first time seems to be working how it's supposed to be working because the careers are doing what the political appointees told them to do. Not because they fear the political appointees, they fear DOGE. But I think that what was imbued in DOGE was the kind of silent power of Elon Musk and the fact that Trump, I think, before the cabinet was fully filled out, kind of deferred to Elon on most things that Trump didn't care too much about in terms of beer crack management. But I think with that power going away in DOGE no longer representing the full force of Elon Musk, it began to loop moves to the cabinet level consensus, which is a lot more business as usual.”

🚨BREAKING: ICE/Border Patrol agents are illegally racially profiling people at bus stops in New Jersey. Video shows agents surrounding bus stops and rounding people up, not because they committed crimes, not because they’re “the worst of the worst,” but because they look Latino and are on their way to work. This isn’t law enforcement. It’s intimidation. It’s harassment. It’s collective punishment based on skin color, and it’s happening in public, in broad daylight. If the government can disappear people for waiting for a bus, none of this is about safety, and all of it is about power.
