I think government spending has gotten out of control and needs over site and their own audit.

The Democrats, since Clinton have talked about doing what DOGE is not doing. Yes, Clinton and Obama did some EO, but always gave more lip service than action. Now we have action from Republicans' and still Democrat lip service.

Horrible what they are doing to people. I don't understand how firing people would take care of fraud and abuse. They are stripping people of their livelihoods and it will come back at us because the government will have to cover their unemployment stipends and we will have many more homeless ppl.

About 14.5% of the US workforce, or 20.2 million people, work in the public sector. This includes state, local, and federal government employees. That's way to many people working at a job that produces nothing.

Maybe you should turn of the news and research. Why pay 5 people to do the job of 1. Why keep lazy employees who don't produce when you can keep highly productive workers and increase there pay. See its called rewarding hard work and punishing lazy people. Hard work does pay off.

Elon is not an elected official, not even a cleared contractor for what he is doing. This sabotages democracy.

Elon is only exposing criminals. He is doing nothing else. Become informed, instead of brainwashed.

While often categorized as a democracy, the United States is more accurately defined as a constitutional federal republic.

Unilateral decisions from the Executive branch cannot go unchecked (on BOTH “sides”). Just like when Biden shouldn’t have bypassed the SC with student loan forgiveness. Democracy is fragile and we cannot lean towards dictatorship.

The Beach Boys were great, but I also listened to C&W. Pop and Soft Rock was great. Far better than the current screaming with crappy music. I'm near his age, and probably older than some of the original members.

T-rump is purposely escalating to gain more power and control. He's destroying the country and all the idiots standing by and supporting him deserve the worthless communist country that will be left. I just can't fathom how people can be so ignorant, blind and stupid.

Please look up the definition of Insurrection before posting. It's a protest in a small area of LA. The simpleton-in-chief is trying to blow things out of proportion in order to try to expand presidential powers. He's the true threat to this country.

And, in many other cities. Find a reputable news source. CNN is not one of them.

Because we have a constitutional right to protest peacefully and I believe it was peaceful and Trump escalated it!

I support peaceful protesters. I don't support Trump's intentional escalation and provoking violence, nor do I support the blanket arrests of non criminal undocumented immigrants.

I agree with Max! I was there During the R.K. Riots. There is NO REASON to destroy your own City. This is Terrorism! Trump offered Military Assistance to the City of Portland when ANTIFA did the same thing. Gov. Brown-nose and Mayor Adam Henry refused the assistance. Town was ransacked.

I paid several thousands of dollars to bring my husband here legally and jumped through all the red tape. Laws are Laws. If as a US citizen I have to follow the rules so does everyone else! Open boarders should never happen here!
