Summary

DOGE staffers Tyler Hassen and Bryton Shang tried pressuring the Bureau of Reclamation to open a California water pump to aid Los Angeles during January’s wildfires, though the system couldn’t reach the city.

When denied, they flew there to do it themselves but failed due to maintenance and access restrictions.

Critics called DOGE a “slapstick operation of 20-somethings they’re seeing as whiz kids but have zero knowledge.”

Trump later ordered dam releases, flooding farmland. Critics called DOGE’s actions reckless and uninformed.

    Flooded farmland, provided 0 help to the wildfires, and now there’s less water reserve for the actual agricultural season…

    Genius.

        As revenge for having to deal with the indignity of having a Blah president, and later, his VP having one term.

        Seriously, I think Obama being President broke so very many brains.
