Donald Trump is poised to make waves upon his anticipated return to the White House. This time, he’s not just bringing his signature rallies and tweets; he’s coming with a wrecking ball for the “deep state.” Trump has vowed to slash bureaucracy, tackle sanctuary cities, and rein in what he calls “wasteful spending.”
His administration will also focus on mass deportations and stricter border control, much to the delight of his base. Trump’s promises are bold, and if he follows through, America will look vastly different by the end of his term.
One of Trump’s most intriguing moves will be the launch of the DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency), a radical new agency co-led by none other than Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. Trump isn’t just draining the swamp; he’s giving it a tech overhaul.
The DOGE agency will hunt down wasteful programs, cut the fat, and hold corrupt states accountable for breaking federal laws. Musk and Ramaswamy, both billionaires with a penchant for disruption, have promised to make the federal government leaner than a keto diet.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) suggested that governors and mayors of sanctuary states or cities for illegal immigrants could “absolutely” have federal aid withheld from them through the Department of Government Efficiency’s work…
Numerous governors and mayors, including Govs. J.B. Pritzker (D-IL), Katie Hobbs (D-AZ), and Boston Mayor Michelle Wu have vowed to oppose President-elect Donald Trump’s proposed mass deportations of illegal immigrants. When pressed on the possibility of these cities or states losing their federal funding should they continue to harbor illegal immigrants, Greene said these sanctuary places utilizing the police to protect these immigrants could “absolutely” expect this.

The DOGE agency is shaping up to be a blend of Silicon Valley efficiency and hardline conservatism. Musk, fresh from reshaping Twitter (or X), is tasked with wielding his tech savviness to root out inefficiencies.
Ramaswamy, known for his no-nonsense approach, says DOGE will bring “mass reductions” in government spending. Translation? Federal programs that fund bizarre projects like “sex apps in Malaysia” are on notice.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is ready to get her hands dirty with DOGE. She’s already hinted that NPR and other “government-funded media” should watch their backs. Greene’s knack for grabbing headlines makes her the perfect watchdog for DOGE.
She’s laser-focused on holding sanctuary states and cities accountable. If these jurisdictions insist on protecting illegal immigrants, Greene and her DOGE team are prepared to strip them of federal funding faster than you can say “Build the Wall.”
Greene is fiery as ever. On Fox News, she slammed sanctuary states and cities, saying their federal funds are on the chopping block if they protect “illegal criminal aliens.” Her fury reached a peak when discussing the tragic murder of Laken Riley, a University of Georgia student killed by an illegal immigrant.
Greene laid the blame squarely on sanctuary policies, declaring, “Laken Riley’s story is not a singular story. Nearly every single day, an American is murdered by an illegal alien.”
Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy echo Greene’s urgency but add a layer of practicality. Musk plans to bring Silicon Valley tech to government auditing, while Ramaswamy talks of outright deleting redundant agencies.
Even Sen. Rand Paul is on board, calling the trio a “rare combination” that can tackle the colossal “leviathan” of government waste.
But the task won’t be easy. Governors like J.B. Pritzker and Katie Hobbs have vowed to resist Trump’s policies, especially mass deportations.
DOGE’s challenge will be to hold these states accountable without sparking a full-blown civil war. Greene’s solution? Hit them where it hurts—their budgets.
Let’s not forget the humor in all this. DOGE isn’t just serious business; it’s a name that’s got the internet giggling. Whether it’s intentional or not, the acronym reminds everyone of the meme-worthy cryptocurrency Dogecoin.
Perhaps the name is a nod to Musk’s influence, or maybe it’s just a reminder that politics can be fun, even when it’s deadly serious.
Still, some of the programs DOGE will target are straight out of a comedy skit. Greene’s call-out of Malaysian “sex apps” is a prime example. If your tax dollars are funding bizarre overseas projects, maybe it’s time to let DOGE have a look.
Trump’s return promises a whirlwind of change. DOGE, led by Musk, Ramaswamy, and Greene, could redefine how government operates—or at least give taxpayers a good laugh along the way. Love him or hate him, Trump’s plans for the White House are anything but boring.
