Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) continue to discover extraordinary waste by the U.S. government, and the shutting off of the taxpayer-funded tap is making Democrats panic.
One congresswoman even resorted to baseless scare tactics to try to smear DOGE’s work and distract Americans from how their funds have been misused.
Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM) bizarrely posited that because of DOGE, Americans would have to start boiling their water to protect themselves.
Stansbury told a gaggle of reporters, “‘I don’t think there is anyone in America that wants to wake up tomorrow and find out that they have to boil their water because the EPA’s workforce has been escorted out of the building.”
“So DOGE is already here. These guys have already hacked the system.”
Watch:
Omg I can’t believe this is real
Democrat Rep Melanie Stansbury is telling the news cameras that DOGE has hacked the system at The EPA and that Americans are going to have to start boiling their water
HOW IS THIS REAL???

Stansbury, however, failed to address the impact of waste by the EPA on American’s safety.
The Gateway Pundit reported that an EPA advisor was caught by an undercover video from Project Veritas admitting that the agency rushed to allocate billions of taxpayer dollars to climate change initiatives just before President Donald Trump’s inauguration.
Brent Efron, a special advisor at the EPA and instrumental in implementing Biden’s climate agenda, spoke to a Project Veritas operative about the rush to disburse funds two months before Trump’s inauguration.
“Now it’s how to get the money out as fast as possible before they [Trump Administration] come in … It truly feels like we’re on the Titanic or throwing gold bar off the top edge.,” Efron said.
EPA head Lee Zeldin made it clear that the “gold bars” are American tax dollars, and he will focus on ending the excessive waste at the agency.
The Biden EPA tossed $20 billion of “gold bars off the Titanic”.
BIG UPDATE! We found the gold bars and they are now being recovered for you, the hardworking American taxpayer.

Zeldin announced on Friday, “In partnership with @DOGE, I just CANCELLED 9 more wasteful @EPA DEI and Environmental Justice contracts, saving American taxpayers another ~$60 MILLION. I’m just warming up! I have ZERO tolerance for even a penny of your hard-earned tax dollars to be wasted or abused.”
