California faces a new multimillion-dollar deficit despite its enormous state budget. Newsom is disqualified from the presidential race.

 

Elon Musk describes the purpose of DOGE during the first cabinet meeting of President Trump's second term:

“Actually, I humble myself here as 'tech support'... that's an almost literal description of what DOGE is doing. Fix the computer systems, there are many errors, the software does not work. 

We cannot sustain a country with a $2 trillion deficit. 

Our interest expense is now larger than the defense department's budget: more than $1 trillion.

“If we don’t do this, the country will go bankrupt.”
