so we have some bad news, and some worse news

Here's the bigger play at hand, and why there is only token pushback to DOGE.
You cut enough spending - even if it's all grift and fraud - you eventually get a recession, guaranteed. That's all Congress is waiting for cause then they use the "emergency" to vote through a far greater spending package ("will someone please think of all the unemployed") one which eclipses all of DOGE's spending cuts.
What Musk is doing in trying to streamline the govt is admirable but ultimately it will be Congress that decides the endgame. And there things are as status quo as always.
