You've listed two of these.
If you keep focusing on the visible chaos & those who make the most noise, then you ignore the covert problems we face that DOGE & its supporters want you to focus on.
Outside of Musk & Thiel look at these figures. They pose a Clear & Present Danger to America.

Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection.

Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

And the lawsuits will follow promptly. Government shutdowns give presidents no additional authority to dismiss federal workers. We’ll fight these outrageous assaults on civil servants and public services.

Isn't this the opposite of what HHS leadership said their policies would do?

And I'm certain the Canadians are thrilled to have them as peculiar armed neighbors

A concerted effort to attack the free press is one of the main ways the 34-Time Convicted Felon, Rapist & Business Fraud is attacking democracy & freedom for all in the United States.

Apropos of nothing in particular this morning, I've been told that, in essence, there are two things that physicians can't do at the White House medical unit: MRIs and surgeries. Virtually anything else can be done there if you have to or want to.

Trump just threatened to impose severe, unprecedented tariffs on Chinese imports. He won’t negotiate with Xi at the upcoming APEC summit, choosing to sink the global economy. The Dow is already down 300 points. This will devastate American small businesses and cause your expenses to skyrocket.

Three key points:
1) The admin has been planning mass firings to begin in October since February
2) The work necessary to carry out mass firings is illegal during a shutdown, violating the Antideficiency Act, which carries a criminal penalty
3) This harms America, ridding us of talent and expertise

Never in Social Security’s 90-year history has a Commissioner held a second job.
