Summary
Fox News host Jesse Watters, a vocal supporter of Trump and Elon Musk’s cuts, expressed frustration after his sister’s job at Johns Hopkins University was affected.
The university is laying off over 2,000 employees due to cuts in federally funded research, particularly from USAID, which Trump and Musk have sought to eliminate.
Watters previously defended DOGE but has softened his stance after seeing personal consequences, including a veteran friend losing a Pentagon job.
Critics argue DOGE disproportionately harms education and research institutions.
I thought DOGE is a memecoin 🤔
I try to take to heart that somebody is always learning about something basic for the first time and that that’s okay BUT where the hell have you been the last couple of months that you haven’t heard of DOGE the agency?!?!
There’s an XKCD reference here in too lazy to link.
And by efficiency, they mean efficiently padding Elon’s pockets and stealing data.
You are the archetypal uninformed voter, aren’t you?
