The GSA’s effort to sell hundreds of US government properties is part of a blunt reshaping of the federal government and its workforce led by Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Staffed in part by young engineers with no prior experience in government, DOGE’s efforts have resulted in mass reductions in force, the effective shuttering of entirely independent agencies, and a flurry of lawsuits that seek to mitigate DOGE’s razing of the government over the past six weeks.

Trump Agency Pulls 443 Sites Off Market in Real Estate Reversal
And many of the federal buildings were hubs for taxpayer services in cities across the country, handling small business loans, Social Security benefits and health and safety enforcement.
DOGE is efficient — but not in the way Musk says it is.
Musk can poach a 2.4 BILLION dollar contract like that? And thats not a conflict of interest?
Musk said on his wall of receipts that DOGE saved $8 billion from a single canceled contract at the Department of Homeland Security. It turned out that contract was for just $8 million. A listed $1.9 billion cut at the Treasury Department actually took place under President Joe Biden. An Associated Press analysis found that 40% of contracts cut by DOGE aren’t expected to save the government any money, according to the administration’s own data.

Trump Plans to Use Military Sites Across the Country to Detain Undocumented Immigrants
Does this smack of ‘Concentration Camps’ to anyone else? When hes done is he gonna use it on citizens that protest him?
The move would be a drastic escalation by the White House to militarize immigration enforcement.
The Trump administration is ramping up plans to detain undocumented immigrants at military sites across the United States, a significant expansion of efforts by the White House to use wartime resources to make good on the president’s promised mass deportations.
Gil Kerlikowske, the former commissioner of Customs and Border Protection, said military facilities are not designed for a project like this.
“It’s beyond odd,” Mr. Kerlikowske said. “Securing the people is labor intensive and it could also be resource intensive.”
