DOGE is (Still) Wasting Taxpayer Money—This Isn’t Reform, It’s Corruption

To: Pres. Trump

From: A verified voter in Marquette, MI

March 1, 2025

DOGE is a catastrophe. It has gutted critical services, endangered lives, and funneled billions to Elon Musk—all under the false promise of “efficiency.” Your administration claimed DOGE would save money, but 40 percent of its canceled contracts won’t save a dime, according to your own data. When this was exposed, DOGE quietly erased its biggest “savings” from its so-called “wall of receipts,” trying to bury the truth about its failures. DOGE’s reckless cuts have caused real harm: • Veterans lost access to medical care before public outrage forced a reversal. • Hundreds of FDA scientists were fired, including those reviewing Musk’s Neuralink—a blatant conflict of interest. • DOGE “accidentally” canceled USAID’s Ebola prevention program, but officials confirm it remains largely dismantled, with funding frozen and response teams disbanded. • Nuclear weapons workers were fired without a backup plan, endangering national security. • Hundreds of NOAA meteorologists were laid off, crippling America’s ability to track hurricanes, wildfires, and climate threats. DOGE’s failures are so blatant that 21 federal tech workers resigned this week, refusing to take part in what they called the “dismantling of critical public services.” These were top engineers and data scientists from companies like Google and Amazon—now abandoning DOGE because they see it for what it is. Musk’s conflicts of interest are undeniable. The FAA is about to cancel a $2.4 billion contract with Verizon—essential for modernizing air traffic control—and hand it to Musk’s Starlink instead. • SpaceX employees are working inside the FAA, pressuring officials to approve the switch. • Musk is using his own social media platform, X, to attack Verizon. • FAA officials are refusing to sign off—so Musk’s team is seeking intervention from Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy. DOGE isn’t fixing the government—it’s looting it. American taxpayers will line Musk’s pockets even as we pay the price for DOGE’s failures—through wasted funds, reduced public services, and increased risks to national security and public health. This is a direct attack on U.S. leadership. The American people are watching. Will you stop this disaster, or continue handing America’s future over to Musk?
