Musk appears at White House to defend DOGE's work, respond to criticism

Musk appears at White House to defend DOGE's work, respond to criticism
The so-called Department of government Efficiency, otherwise known as DOJ, is now shifting its focus to the defense and education departments this week as Democrats try new ways to stop them. President Trump's plans to buy out some 2 million workers ensnared in the legal system. I think it was *** very generous buyout actually, while another federal judge finding the Trump administration disobeyed *** court order, not unfreezing billions in money for childhood education, pollution reduction, and HIV research. We're fully supportive of what the Doge effort is doing and what the president is doing. It's *** very aggressive agenda that was promised to the voters as Trump and some allies question whether to follow judge's orders. I disagree with opinions all the time, but. That doesn't mean I disagree with the process of the system. Democrats are rolling out *** new strategy. We believe in transparency. We believe in accountability, *** coordinated effort to counter Trump administration action, building oversight, legal cases, legislation, and *** whistleblower portal. Chance to report on potential wrongdoing in government, abuse of power, threats to public safety. Senate Democrats are also drawing out the process to approve President Trump's nominees, and they also plan to leverage their support for government funding, which is set to expire next month. In Washington, I'm Amy Lou.
