Maybe naïve, but not wrong. They have access that any American citizen should have access to, and the only authority they really have is to flag items for review. The DOGE team is sensational, but i would bet an enormous sum that Trump has a much larger team that the sensationalized DOGE team at making decisions. It’s childish to believe the media’s talking points that there’s a bunch of children being allowed to run rampant controlling the government, especially in light of the recent “Biden is sharp as tack” media narrative.

From your link written by John Marshall, a “progressive liberal”: “It’s obvious that you’d want to be very cautious about centralizing this much power in anyone’s hands, especially people working outside all existing frameworks of oversight and accountability.” It’s called.. the President. The whole point of electing a president alongside of congress is to have a consolidated point of power.
