It would require the wisdom of Solomon to determine whether "Donald the Economic Populist" types or "Donald the Dove" types are the easiest marks on the planet (and obviously a lot of overlap in these categories)

Each new report on the so-called DOGE confirms that it’s not an advisory committee as initially claimed, but a full-size federal Department that will demand tens of millions in congressional funding even as it evades FOIA requests or any transparency. It is, in short...100% illegal and illegitimate.
