I do think the Constitution only authorizes Congress to create and fund government agencies. The fact that the Republicans and Democrats are not fight this tooth and nail says a huge amount to me…
There was a lawsuit from the AFGE (federal employees union) I think that they had to drop because it relied on the assumption that DOGE was a federal agency. When it was revealed that DOGE was just a renaming of the US Digital Service, that invalidated the premise of the lawsuit. Idk how the USDS had money lying around in its budget for a bunch of new and unqualified GS-15s to just be added to the payroll like government billets aren’t painstakingly difficult to establish, but that is another question, I suppose

It wouldn’t surprise me at all if all the DOGEies are actually only getting paid a token amount by the government, or not getting paid by the government at all, but are getting paid directly by Musk. It’s probably illegal, but who’s gonna prosecute it?
