Introducing The Department of Government Efficiency

Redacted is an independent platform, unencumbered by external factors or restrictive policies, on which Clayton and Natali Morris bring you quality information, balanced reporting, constructive debate, and thoughtful narratives.

President-Elect Trump announced that Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy will head a new agency called the “Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).”

This organization will, according to the announcement, “dismantle Government Bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure Federal Agencies.” It is a big and broad task – perhaps a little too big and broad – but would anyone that the government has not multiplied like Gremlins since Roosevelt’s first 100 Days? It’s a shocking beast and it is costing taxpayers to pay for government (and military) expansion.

Have you ever seen the movie Dave? The plot has a Washington outsider bring in a small-town accountant and balance the budget by cutting waste. Could that happen?

The President-Elect has also solidified the following Cabinet appointments: Congresswoman Kristi Noem has been asked to serve as the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), veteran and Fox News anchor Pete Hegseth has been nominated as the Secretary of Defense. Former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe as been asked to serve as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). William Joseph McGinley will serve as White House Counsel. Steven C. Witkoff was asked to be Special Envoy to the Middle East. Former Governor of Arkansas Mike Huckabee was appointed as the Ambassador to Israel.

There has so far been no formal announcement of Marco Rubio as Secretary of State, perhaps because there was such outrage at the very notion. Let’s hope that was an urban legend because Rubio is an odious warmonger.

The President-Elect is also reported to be working on a Special Envoy to Ukraine to broker peace. The Zelensky regime was reportedly disappointed that Mike Pompeo will not get a diplomatic post because he has helped Ukraine sow so much violence in the past.
