The fancifully named Department of Government Efficiency is grounded in a fundamental misapprehension of how the federal government works. The recklessness and destruction is not a bug but a feature.

President Donald Trump and his administration continue to make cuts to the federal government by the Department of Government Agency (DOGE), led by businessman Elon Musk. Dr. Todd Belt from George Washington University returns to Capitol Review this week.

SpaceX and Tesla — have submitted letters lobbying the U.S. trade representative on Trump administration tariff policies. The letters come as Musk oversees an effort to slash federal government spending and employee headcount at the behest of President Donald Trump.

There will be more than 80 protests on Saturday and another 76 are already listed to take place through the end of April, according to the Tesla Takedown organizing website.

U.S. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy told Congress he signed an agreement with DOGE to provide assistance to address "big problems."

Republicans, particularly those in Congress, have been overwhelmingly supportive of broad cuts across the federal government at the hands of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency.
