Musk walked away from DOGE, but their allies in Congress didn’t – and they’re still using it to push cuts that hurt workers and hollow out public services.

While billionaires feuded and reconciled behind closed doors, Musk’s DOGE agenda slashed jobs, hollowed out public services, and put working people last. This is what it looks like when politicians put billionaire CEOs over workers.

It’s been almost a year and DOGE accomplished nothing except tearing through agencies and wrecking the lives of federal workers.

This is what happens when you put people in charge of Social Security whose goal is to break Social Security: fired workers, corners cut, and the people who depend on it pay the price.

Nearly half of Americans say their financial security is getting worse. Turns out higher costs, job losses, and chaos don’t feel like an “economic comeback” when working people are the ones paying for it.

A $250 annual pass for non-residents, $100 entry fees at major parks, proof of residency, and a 24 percent staffing cut. Nothing says “public lands” like making them harder to access and worse to run at the same time.

Nearly 300,000 federal employees were forced out in 2025 as DOGE and the White House gutted agencies, weakened civil rights protections, and disrupted services people rely on like Social Security and veterans care. That’s not “efficiency.” That’s sabotage. https://wapo.st/3YaJuAR

Don’t be an Elon this holiday season.

DOGE fired hundreds of thousands of federal workers under the guise of reducing spending…then didn’t reduce spending. Their work did nothing to help anyone, and now working people are suffering the consequences of their essential services being gutted. https://bit.ly/4jb24m4

The Trump administration’s health care “plan”

2025 is on track to be one of the *worst* years for private sector job growth in decades. Not the flex you think it is.

Federal workers make our country run. They keep our air and water clean, care for veterans, inspect our workplaces and so much more. Firing hundreds of thousands of federal workers helps no one and hurts everyone. https://n.pr/4pH2xih

These are the real jobs numbers that the Trump administration doesn’t want you to see: 67,000 manufacturing jobs lost.

You know the Trump administration is confident in their economic policies when they’re telling people to buy their kids fewer toys for Christmas. So is the affordability crisis no longer a hoax? https://bit.ly/4j3ANSw

Black unemployment is up to 8.3%, the highest since June 2021. President Trump: what happened to all those Black jobs you promised?

Firing federal workers. Hire some back. Fire them again. Recruit workers to do the jobs of the folks they just fired. Seems pretty…inefficient? If only there was an agency that was actually supposed to work on government efficiency. https://bit.ly/3N12EGQ

These are the numbers the Trump administration doesn’t want you to see: there’s essentially been no employment growth since April!

Never seen anyone so out of touch with what workers are experiencing. Prices are up on everything. ACA health insurance costs are about to double. America lost 67,000 manufacturing jobs since April. The only people this economy works for are corporate CEOs and billionaires.

Federal workers deserve a voice on the job to keep our essential services running. Now, the Protect America’s Workforce Act heads to the Senate! Tell your senators: Co-sponsor this bipartisan bill and stand with federal workers and their union rights! https://bit.ly/49b14Lc

Just a month after TSA officers worked for 43 days without pay to keep us safe, DHS is trying again to rip away their union contracts—a move directly out of Project 2025.

Health insurance premiums are going to more than double in 2026. Prices are skyrocketing on everything & people feel it every day. You can’t tell people the economy is going to be good at some point and expect them to be able to pay their bills now. https://bit.ly/48QieMQ

No matter where you are or what you do, everyone will feel the impact of DOGE’s cuts to the federal workforce and our essential services. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2025/12/15/doge-cuts-donald-trump-montana-00681695

The Protect America’s Workforce Act, the bill to restore union rights for 1 million federal workers, has passed the House! This is a HUGE victory for working people, federal workers and our essential services. When we fight, we WIN!

Prices are up on rent, housing, groceries, and more. Health insurance costs are about to more than double. No wonder the Trump administration’s economic policies are unpopular. https://bit.ly/48JWnXh

🚨🚨 The Protect America's Workforce Act is getting a vote in the House TODAY! This is an all-hands-on-deck moment for everyone who cares about working people. It's time for lawmakers to stand up for federal workers and their union rights. Call Congress: https://bit.ly/4r6Ep9M

Yeah, we can tell.

If Elon is not happy with how DOGE turned out, imagine how the hundreds of thousands of federal workers who got pushed out of their jobs and had their lives turned upside-down feel. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c80x35dek82o

Surprise surprise: After firing thousands of workers at the Department of Education, the Trump administration now admits that they actually need them. https://www.insidehighered.com/news/quick-takes/2025/12/08/ed-calls-civil-rights-workers-its-trying-ax-back-work

Paging DOGE and Attorney General Pam Bondi: we found some more waste, fraud and abuse for you both. Thank you for your attention to this matter! https://www.propublica.org/article/trump-mortgage-fraud-florida-principal-residences

Lecturing federal workers not to eat a cookie after *everything* this administration put them through is a new level of insanity. https://www.wired.com/story/dr-oz-centers-for-medicare-and-medicaid-services-tells-employees-to-eat-less/

Hey Secretary Kennedy: does this make America healthy again to have our kids dying of preventable diseases? And Elon Musk: is DOGE’s cuts to USAID and other critical aid worth the lives of hundreds of thousands of kids around the world? No. https://bit.ly/48XZLiB

Americans don’t need the media to tell them Trump’s economic policies are hurting them — their wallets feel it every single day. Trump and his economic advisors are out of touch, out of their minds or both.

The Trump admin admitted that DOGE fired too many people from the National Weather Service and promised months ago to make sure it was properly staffed. They didn’t — now people are left stranded for information as winter storms hit across the country. https://wapo.st/4iJQjTa

RFK Jr.'s hand-picked panel of vaccine “advisors” are trying to bring Hepatitis B back. How does making liver disease more common do anything to “make America healthy again” ??? https://www.npr.org/sections/shots-health-news/2025/12/05/nx-s1-5634004/cdc-hepatitis-b-vaccine-acip-meeting

We’re less than one month away from health insurance costs more than doubling for millions of families across the country.

Elon called his time at DOGE, where he fired or pushed out hundreds of thousands of federal workers and tried to break our essential services, an “interesting side quest.” He used DOGE to destroy lives. He can’t plead “oopsies” here. https://bit.ly/48SFSte

Yeah, we’re sure the guy who will nearly exclusively profit from AI taking workers’ jobs and said that “human rights are a scam” really cares about working people 🙄

“The biggest challenge I find with my foundation is trying to give money away in a way that is truly beneficial” - Elon Musk. Doesn’t seem like he’s trying too hard! https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/us/politics/elon-musk-foundation.html

“[DOGE is] in fact burrowed into the agencies like ticks.” DOGE and their tech bro allies are still working to destroy our essential services — they’re just being quieter about it. https://www.wired.com/story/what-is-doge-doing-now/

President Trump has no idea what it’s like to live paycheck-to-paycheck. He’s a billionaire that’s never worked a day in his life. Saying that “affordability” is a “con job”? No, he’s just out of touch with working people. https://nyti.ms/3KegYLo

The bipartisan bill to reverse President Trump’s union-busting executive order is getting a vote in Congress! Tell your rep: restore union rights for 1 million federal workers and pass the Protect America’s Workforce Act! https://act.aflcio.org/call_campaigns/pass-pawa-house/

He can’t stay awake during cabinet meetings, but has the audacity to say that federal workers are “lazy.” BS.

We’re only one month away from health insurance premiums doubling, tripling or worse for millions of working families across the country. Workers are already fighting to make ends meet. They don’t need health care costs crushing their budgets even more than they already do.

This is an all-hands-on-deck moment to restore collective bargaining rights to more than 1 million federal workers. Call your reps now and tell them to pass the Protect America’s Workforce Act! https://act.aflcio.org/call_campaigns/pass-pawa-house/

From firing federal workers to gutting essential services, DOGE disproportionately targeted veterans. Veterans deserve better than unaccountable tech bros gutting their health care, jobs and freedoms.

DOGE may or may not be gone, but we still feel the impact of their reckless attacks on federal workers. They gutted our essential services, making things even harder on working families just trying to make ends meet. https://reut.rs/3M2CVxm

They’re eliminating bureaucracy in our education system by *checks notes* splitting the Department of Education’s resources into many different government agencies? How is that going to help our kids and their education? https://bit.ly/3XOpovW

Yes, Rick Scott — known for doing very legal things with health care and eliminating fraud. (Google “Rick Scott health care fraud”)

Not so fun fact: Elon Musk makes more money than every elementary school teacher in the country COMBINED. This level of corporate CEO greed is unimaginable. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/interactive/2025/musk-package-tesla-trillion/
