crooked politicians are worried already!

[hawks]

There was plenty of departments that didnt exist at one point ....then we realized we needed it ..
And of course there depts now that are useless and obsolete and wasting money

[Ancient_War]

They’d better start with Congress and the Supreme Court, then.

[truesonic]

Finally someone that has common sense

[sheevpalps]

Do you see how open democrats are to good policy? This is why I’m proud to be a Democrat. I can never imagine MAGA critically thinking and putting aside their biases to unite

[GOD]

Booker is actual a sound politician. Look, he doesn't attack the people, but rather the idea. He says that its a good idea, not that the DOGE would be the best or the worst.

[dustinjm]

These politicians are scared! And should be!

[PSA]

Efficiency?!? MAGA representatives have spent several years now trying to slow things down by disrupting orderly manners. 😂
Time for 🍿

Putting sharks in charge of small fish departments. Great idea 😆😆😆

[waterloojew]

Start with firing this guy and recouping his salary

[SnapTie]

You lost. Go sit in the corner and shut up.

Meanwhile, the government is getting ready to buy a bunch of Tesla Cybertrucks.

I was hoping they would say that our government is already lean, efficient, and staffed by the smartest, hardest-working people in the world.😂

[MyHeart]

Much like the Employment Security Commission did in 2002 when it
Was forced to create Organizational Effectiveness over the Internal Audit Unit. Gave Curtis Ricketts a job. Didn’t last long.

[stevenmullins]

Trump invents excuses at the drop of a hat. What an imagination

[sr.]

Efficiency for Trump is making things efficient for him not anyone or anything else... Don't be fooled!

[laurabee]

May the first step of efficiency be immediately firing all of Trumps appointees and putting in actual candidates that can do the job and have the experience. That’ll save a lot of time.

[louieadam]

This new govt will create unlimited power.

[Uventertainment]

May as well be the department of shiba efficiency

The first man looks like green Goblin.
