The DOGE bullshit is beginning to lay the groundwork for cutting Social Security, Medicare and Veteran's benefits. As Josh Marshall lays out, it seems doubtful that Republicans have the votes for this in the Congress, but this is EXACTLY the solution to the messaging problem that Democrats claim to be concerned about.
This should be every Democratic talking head and politician's constant talking point from now until there's an up-or-down vote on Musk and Ramaswamy's plan to immiserate Granma. Yes, Kash Patel and Tulsi Gabbard have to be opposed, but they will not move public opinion for those dreaded low information voter. Suggesting that Republicans will cut entitlement programs is a quick way to backfoot the entire party and force the inevitable showdown between Musk and Trump.
