So true. Big media fail. And Democrats never conveyed this.
So many news outlets continue to push the obviously false claim that Elon Musk and DOGE were trying to eliminate waste and fraud.
Because the goal was never “saving” anything. The mission was the destruction of the federal government and the theft of everyone’s data, and they achieved everything they intended to do.

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.
