DOGE is pushing the limits of its power, which exist as long as they are allowed to have that power.
This is a slow motion coup.
Uhhh, the bad guys won. They're already in office. Our job is now to limit the damage as much as possible, and resist at every turn that we can. Make their life difficult.

Go for it, they have all branches of government right now. So unless you have another plan, not much you can do. And if you're serious about doing something else, you don't put it on the internet. So I'm left to assume you aren't very serious.
That's not what you do when the bad guys win. You don't make their life difficult. You do something else with that life
Uhhh
