Many people are unhappy with DOGEs efforts to trim government waste and fraud, and many people don't like the DOGE Director, Elon Musk.

What are some ways to shut it down?

Congress
Supreme Court Judge
Impeachment
Arson

or maybe some other ways?
 
The legal ways to do it will be ignored, as this is an autocracy. Every Republican voter did this.

Oh, my vote is "I like potatoes." Please include this option in the future.

There will be another election in 2028. Until then, you are out of luck

According to not a Trump supporting source the USA today says this.
77% of Americans supported the mission of the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE. We've long known government to be bursting at its seams with corruption. We demand this wretched adversity be rectified, tax dollars be directed responsibly and only in manners advancing American interests, and that those engineering and profiting from abuses suffer deserved exposure and punishment.

People like the idea behind doge but do not like what is happening with doge as it is occurring and very much dislike musk.

But what if democrats become the Majority Party in next year's midterms? (and it looks like they might)

Couldn't the Senate introduce a resolution to shut down DOGE with a majority Floor vote?

They can't.

I doubt Musk will still be around by then. And I can't think of anyone else with the hubris to carry it off. Maybe Zuckerberg? I think DOGE may continue after Musk is gone but not have teeth.

I second the request to add a “I like potatoes” poll option to all @SkyChief polls going forward.
 
No rational taxpayer opposes making government more efficient and less wasteful.
Trump created a job in government for his friend, the richest man in the world. A man who does billions of dollars worth of business with government departments and agencies, a job involving scrutiny of department and agency budgets.
Then, Trump made it so this man could do this job in secret- the only thing you know about what he's doing is what he says he's doing. Even FOI requests can be denied till 2034.
This is a level of corruption that's jaw-dropping, astounding, and Trump cultists cheer for it because it pisses so many people off.
Trump is wrecking America, and you approve of the process.
 
I voted for the impeachment option.
Any SCOTUS decisions or actions by congress will be ignored by Donald.
Impeachment wont happen until 2027 at the earliest and removal isnt going to happen. What you should do is sit back and enjoy the fact that the money you work hard for and is taken from your check each week will be better spent.

None of your poll options work.

The first and third are out of the picture due to Congress being loyal to Donald in its current session.

The 2nd has been proven irrelevant since SCOTUS has no enforcement authority and can at best express opinions.

The 4th doesn’t actually stop DOGE.

The only option is to let DOGE ruin enough American lives in order to enrich Elon that we have different leadership in Congress in 2026 and some of your poll options become relevant again.

Between now and then, Americans should work with their state legislatures on mechanisms to reduce federal tax revenue, send that revenue to states then let states cover shortfalls in government services.
 
Neo-leftists who are living incredibly well off of the establishment gravy train don't like DOGE. Taxpayers who don't like paying for freeloading neo-leftists don't like DOGE.

People are generally all for trimming government waste and fraud, people are generally not happy with how Musk is going about it, and overall only MAGAs like Musk.

And the courts are the only way to deal with this.

Democrats in Congress are basically aimless and powerless, until the midterms at the earliest, assuming they unify enough to do something about this.

In secret??? It seems we know everything that is going on. Reducing the size of government, cutting waste and fraud, closing unnecessary departments and returning power to the states is what libertarians and small government conservatives have wanted for decades. Trump is the first one to actually attempt to make it happen. Thats not wrecking America, it is fixing it. What he is wrecking is the dreams of the corrupt, big government, authoritarian left. And that is exactly who is pissed off about it.
