Congressman Tim Burchett (R-TN) said the Democrats are terrified of Elon Musk and DOGE because there is a “paper trail” of money that went overseas and right back into their pockets.
“You’re going to see a paper trail come back to Washington, DC. That’s why a lot of people are nervous. You’ll see a lot of retirements. They are stealing from the American taxpayer and now they’ve got their hand caught in the cookie jar, and all they can do is attack Elon Musk,” Burchett said on Fox News.

It is all hands on deck to stop Elon Musk’s DOGE from accessing federal data so the Trump Administration can cut wasteful government spending.
A coalition of Democrat state attorneys general recently filed a lawsuit to stop Elon Musk from accessing federal data.
Blue states such as Arizona, Michigan, Rhode Island, New Mexico, California, Massachusetts, and others filed a lawsuit arguing President Trump violated the Appointments Clause of the Constitution when he created DOGE and gave Elon Musk ‘unchecked power.’
Democrats have also been holding protests and lashing out at Elon Musk.
86-year-old Maxine Waters, the Democrats’ top attack dog, called Elon Musk a “gangster” and a “thief.”
Maxine Waters is now seeking a “throwdown” against @ElonMusk.
“Elon Musk, where are you?! Bring your ass over here!…We’re not afraid of you…He’s a thief! He’s a gangsta!”
The Democrats have lost their marbles.pic.twitter.com/0yskR6mvOc

DOGE Reveals $4.7 Trillion of Taxpayer Money Went Into Government Black Hole and is UNTRACEABLE

“In the Federal Government, the TAS field was optional for ~$4.7 Trillion in payments and was often left blank, making traceability almost impossible. As of Saturday, this is now a required field, increasing insight into where money is actually going. Thanks to US Treasury for the great work,” DOGE said.
The Treasury Access Symbol (TAS) is an identification code linking a Treasury payment to a budget line item (standard financial process).

Trillions of dollars in taxpayer money went into a federal government black hole!
The government will audit you, track every single dollar that went into your bank account, and hunt you down to squeeze every last penny.
But once they get hold of YOUR money – they chuck it into a black hole of their choice with little to no accountability.
Two standards. pic.twitter.com/bJTbOHf6NM

Musk’s DOGE has exposed trillions in waste in just the first few weeks of Trump’s second term.

Deep State hatchet man Norm Eisen over the weekend also announced he filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk to stop him.
“We’re taking [Musk] and DOGE to court to impose consequences,” Norm Eisen said.
Musk is acting like he runs the U.S. government—but the Constitution does not allow an unelected super-president
We’re taking him & DOGE to court to impose consequences
I’ll discuss tonight at 6PM ET on @MSNBC w/ @CapehartJ pic.twitter.com/5FlSvnMRCY

Toot-Toot, Here Comes The Trump Train: Calls for “EU DOGE” as Bombshell Report Reveals €1.5 Billion Taxpayer Euros Spent on Left-Wing NGOs and Undermining Conservative Governments

🚨BREAKING: The EU’s NGO funding scandal
The EU has created a vast propaganda network by funnelling YOUR money to its pet think tanks and NGOs.
Is there any pro-EU organisation who isn’t being funded by the EU? pic.twitter.com/R4Oj0Dxn27

Hungarian think tank MCC Brussels is calling for the establishment of an EU version of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) following a shocking new report about the scale of the EU-NGO propaganda complex, revealing €1.5 billion Euros have been spent on “promoting values”, which means the left-wing, globalist agenda.
The bombshell report “The EU’s Propaganda Machine” by Rome-based researcher Thomas Fazi reveals the European Commission’s brazen misuse of taxpayer funds, funnelling billions into a shadowy network of NGOs and think tanks to promote its own political agenda and silence dissenting voices. This enormous EU-NGO propaganda complex undermines democracy and constitutes a massive betrayal of European citizens.
These findings come hot on the heels of both the scandal surrounding US government funding of worldwide propaganda NGOs via USAID, and also the recent scandal of the EU Commission funding green NGOs to lobby on behalf of the controversial Green Deal.
In the wake of these revelations, MCC Brussels is calling for the establishment of the “EU Department of Governmental Efficiency (EU DOGE)” modelled after a similar initiative implemented by the Trump administration to root out the extraordinary misuse of funds and blatant funding of propaganda.

Leftist Judge Chutkan Declines to Immediately Issue Order Halting Musk and DOGE From Accessing Federal Data
Cristina Laila, Gateway Pundit, Feb. 17, 2025

Judge Tanya Chutkan, an Obama appointee, held a hearing on Monday morning after 14 Democrat state attorneys general sued Trump and DOGE and claimed Elon Musk is operating with unchecked power since he is not Senate-confirmed.
Chutkan declined to immediately issue an order on Monday; however, she said she would try to rule within 24 hours.
Blue states such as Arizona, Michigan, Rhode Island, New Mexico, California, Massachusetts, and others filed a lawsuit arguing President Trump violated the Appointments Clause of the Constitution when he created DOGE and gave Elon Musk ‘unchecked power.’
The attorneys general argued that since Elon Musk is not senate confirmed, he should be barred from issuing orders to anyone inside of the executive branch.
They argued that the Trump Admin’s creation of DOGE with Elon Musk at the helm violates the Appointments Clause of the Constitution.
In a strange twist, the exact argument previously played out in Tanya Chutkan’s court. Recall that President Trump’s lawyers, in a motion to dismiss, argued that Jack Smith’s appointment to special counsel violated the Appointments Clause of the Constitution because he was not Senate-confirmed.
Judge Chutkan tossed out Trump’s motion to dismiss based on the Appointments Clause argument. However, Judge Cannon dismissed the classified documents case based on this very argument.
On Friday, during a hearing, Judge Chutkan appeared to be skeptical of the emergency restraining order request. The judge asked the plaintiffs to file a proposed order narrowing its scope.
On Monday morning, Judge Chutkan told lawyers for the plaintiffs that she can’t issue an emergency restraining order based on news reports.
The judge once again reiterated that the plaintiffs’ request to stop DOGE and Musk was just too broad.
Chutkan asked DOJ lawyers for details on its plans for mass firings and said she would try to rule within 24 hours.
