we have to hunt these guys down like dogs or they'll haunt our politics for decades
NEW: The DOGE operative who gutted USAID -- firing thousands of employees and canceling lifesaving programs -- never actually signed the paperwork that's legally required for him to be employed by the agency.

And yet if all 30+ republican senators stood together in solidarity, they could actually stand up to t-rump. Spineless cowards.
