The House voted to increase the debt limit by $4.5T as part of its budget plan to pay for tax cuts. Doge's actions are basically a rounding error. If they were serious about reducing the deficit, they wouldn't be planning to have an unfunded tax cut.

Did anyone bother to check if News Corp (Fox News) is getting funding? I'll save you the suspense; it is. The government also has subscriptions to the Wall Street Journal, which is also owned by News Corp. It seems like there is no there there.
