You know whats Not on Roids, apparently? The sheer volume of angry calls bombarding Congress right now. And it’s all thanks to Elon Musk and something called… DOGE? Seriously, folks, who even says DOGE anymore?
Apparently, a lot of people furious enough to jam up the Senates phone lines. We’re talking 1,600 calls PER MINUTE according to Senator Lisa Murkowski – compared to the usual 40! Forty! I could knit a sweater in that amount of downtime. Now senators are struggling just to answer their phones and people cant even leave voicemails. It’s become a full-blown phone system meltdown, with offices reportedly going offline entirely, thanks to this deluge on DOGE as Senator Tina Smith eloquently put it.
The root of the rage? Concerns that U.S. DOGE Service employees – yes, apparently there is such a thing – have broad access to government systems and sensitive data. People are genuinely worried their information is compromised, understandably so when a billionaire tech mogul starts messing around with federal agencies. Senator Smith rightly points out this isn’t about helping Americans; its about self-interest, pure and simple.
Senator Angus King described the constituent feedback as a combination of “fear, confusion and heartbreak.” Heartbreak! Over DOGE! This is peak absurdity, people. But also… completely understandable. Because frankly, who doesn’t have questions?
