  • Trump and DOGE head Elon Musk are looking to make widespread cuts to federal agencies in the first month of Trump's presidency.

The article from MSN outlines the "Drain the Swamp" initiative by the conservative group Drain the Swamp, which aims to significantly reduce the size and scope of the U.S. federal government. The list includes proposals to eliminate several federal departments and agencies such as the Department of Education, the Department of Energy, the Department of Commerce, the Department of Homeland Security, the IRS, and the EPA. Additionally, it suggests cutting programs like foreign aid, welfare, and subsidies for various industries including agriculture, energy, and housing. The initiative also targets the reduction or elimination of federal regulations, particularly those related to environmental protection, labor, and business practices, arguing that these measures would decrease government overreach, reduce taxpayer burden, and promote economic freedom. However, the article notes that these proposals are controversial and would face significant opposition due to the essential services these departments and programs provide.
