Originally published at: Rand Paul Sheepishly Nods To Fact That Musk Is Not Supposed To Be In Charge Of Gov’t Funding - TPM – Talking Points Memo
There has been such little pushback or even engagement, among Senate Republicans, with questions surrounding the fact that Elon Musk’s DOGE rampage is stomping all over Congress’ authority to fund the federal government that the driest cough in the direction of disagreement with DOGE operations feels notable.

And, of course, if the DOGE boys are making the executive branch subject to control by a foreign government (say one with whose leader Elmo regularly chats,) well, that’ll also be something Congress will have to come back and deal with when it’s done, too.

“All the stuff they’re doing with DOGE is good,” Paul told reporters.
Which is why the market tanked today.
Good to know Rand Paul is on the job!

But I’ll have to do the math.
