Summary

Former White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney dismissed the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) as a “PR campaign,” noting it lacks statutory authority and cannot implement changes independently.

While praising Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy’s goals to cut bureaucracy and waste, Mulvaney emphasized DOGE must rely on Congress or the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to enact reforms.

He highlighted Russ Vought, the incoming OMB Director, as important to the initiative’s success, despite Musk and Ramaswamy’s higher profiles.

    Yeah, well see. I fully expect the spineless Republicans to fully follow through with whatever musk tells them because he has three toadstool of Trump in his mouth.
