Any claims that this new Elon Musk dog crew is actually looking for fraud or waste is a lie. We already had positions that were all about rooting out corruption, and the Donald got rid of them.
THEY FIRED THE WATCHDOGS. NOW, NO ONE IS WATCHING. | RepresentUs – Mar 12, 2025 Trump fired 19 independent government watchdogs—the very people responsible for exposing fraud and corruption. No oversight. No accountability. Just more power for the people rigging the system. This is how democracy dies—not overnight, but by dismantling the institutions meant to protect it. Congress cannot stay silent. DEMOCRACY IS UNDER ATTACK FROM WITHIN.
The group RepresentUs is non-partisan, and I know this because I was involved with a local chapter during the first Trump administration when I was unable to engage in certain partisan activities, and I met Republicans involved.
We know only too well in Northeastern Pennsylvania that corruption isn’t a left right issue, it’s not a partisan issue, it’s an issue about what’s right and wrong, it’s about wrongdoing. And if you’re really serious about rooting out wrongdoing, you don’t fire the entire slate of people who were already rooting out wrongdoing.
