Trump's choice to co-lead the Department of Government Efficiency is expected to announce a gubernatorial campaign after the new administration begins.

Summary

Vivek Ramaswamy, co-leader of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) under Trump, is expected to step down to launch a campaign for Ohio governor.

Sources report friction between Ramaswamy, Elon Musk, and incoming DOGE staff, with Musk’s team criticizing his lack of participation and subtly encouraging his exit.

“Vivek has worn out his welcome,” one Trump associate said.

DOGE, a task force to streamline federal bureaucracy, is not a formal agency.

        No, everyone who blames Los Angeles wildfires on the mayor or the fire chief is parroting Republican talking points. That would be you.

            Once again, I have no idea what you’re trying to say and you won’t tell me, so all I can do is guess. If you want to stop being cagey and snarky and tell me what the fuck you meant, feel free. Otherwise I’m just going to assume you’re another Republican who has a problem with women and queer people and are blaming the wildfires on them.

            I do not expect an explanation to be forthcoming at this point either.
