This is amazing. Another 25 days before Trump is sworn in and DOGE takes out a department.

Trump Administration Sued Moments After Inauguration Over Elon Musk’s DOGE

A union and watchdog groups say the new “Department of Government Efficiency” is rife with conflicts of interest and violates the law.

A group of organizations immediately sued the Trump administration as the president was inaugurated on Monday, arguing that its new “Department of Government Efficiency” violates federal transparency law.

Despite its name, DOGE is not a real government department and isn’t subject to the same oversight and accountability as normal federal agencies. The lawsuit alleges DOGE runs afoul of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, a law passed in 1972 to ensure that the advice given by advisory bodies is ideologically balanced and transparent to the public.

“DOGE’s members do not have a fair balance of viewpoints, meetings are held in secret and without public notice, and records and work product are not available to the public,” the groups said in a joint statement Monday.

DOGE doesn’t exist.

It is a fairy tale built for Trump sheep.

DOGE is a con intended to sell the right wing mob on the illusion that Trump is actually going to do something to manage spending.

Trump intends to borrow and spend his way through the next four years.

DOGE is a smokescreen, and a way to sideline Musk.

I agree it is another grifters eye-catching while the hand is quicker than the eye bit.
