Elon Musk stories
National
The building housing the historic Freedom Riders Museum appears to be part of a DOGE-ordered sell-off of federal properties.
News
The move, one of countless cuts being made by Musk and DOGE since President Donald Trump's return to office, has elicited outrage from Democrats.
Congress
Sewell questioned Musk's authority to make broad cuts, particularly to personnel, and said her phones are ringing off the hook with angry voters.
Featured Opinion
Musk and his DOGE team have uncovered very little actual fraud. The wastes of space are occupying offices in the Capitol.
Courts
Supported by 21 Republican AGs, the amicus brief defends President Trump’s “Fork Directive” and critiques the federal workers unions’ lawsuit.
Congress
“Elon Musk’s takeover of the federal payment system is a dangerous invasion of the privacy of every American," Sewell said.
Congress
“An unelected billionaire has absolutely no business handling the personal information of American taxpayers,” Sewell said.
President
It is yet to be seen how DOGE plans to trim $2 trillion from the federal budget.
Economy
Trump has been critical of the program in the past and restricted foreign worker visas during his first term.
