Voters Believe Musk Will Exploit DOGE to Enrich Himself, Defund Social Safety Net

Recent polling data reveals widespread voter concern that Elon Musk’s new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) will primarily benefit Musk himself, rather than improve government efficiency. A majority of voters believe DOGE will target crucial social programs like Social Security, Medicare, and food assistance for cuts. This concern is particularly strong regarding potential cuts to healthcare and veterans’ benefits. Framing DOGE’s proposed cuts as benefiting corporations and billionaires significantly decreases its public favorability, especially among independent voters.

Democrats’ Failures, Not Trans People, Should Be Blamed for Election Losses

Following the 2024 election, some Democrats wrongly blamed the party’s losses on its support for transgender rights, arguing that this stance alienated moderate voters. These claims, however, contradict exit polls indicating economic concerns and a desire for change were primary factors in Trump’s victory. Politicians scapegoating the transgender community ignore the lack of evidence linking trans rights to the election outcome and exploit the group’s limited political power. This tactic risks further marginalizing a vulnerable population for purely political gain.
