Former federal prosecutor Andy McCarthy explained Wednesday that contrary to claims by Democrats and “well-heeled left-wing groups,” the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is “legitimate.”
President Donald Trump established DOGE in a Jan. 20 executive order that repurposed the United States Digital Service and added additional responsibilities to the commission involving the hiring of new federal employees with a Tuesday order. McCarthy reacted to legal attacks on DOGE from Democrats and government unions arguing the during an appearance on “Fox and Friends.” (RELATED: You Won’t Believe How Many Times Corporate Media Outlets Regurgitated Newest Liberal Talking Point About Trump, Musk)
“The litigation is kind of designed to slow things down and they have vast resources to conduct this kind of litigation. You have sort of these cabals of state attorneys general, you have all kinds of well-heeled left-wing groups that can do this. But ultimately, I think, if you get clear rulings from the court, a lot of this stuff will fade away,” McCarthy told guest host Emily Compagno. “It seems to me the weakest position that they have is that executive branch officials, and whether they like it or not, they keep calling it the so-called DOGE, as if it didn’t exist, it actually is a component of the executive office of the president in the White House, it’s a refinement of something that was begun under Obama.”
“So, this is a legitimate government entity, and they answer to the president, who runs the executive branch,” McCarthy continued. “So the idea that an executive official answerable to the president, can’t look at what’s going on in executive agencies is pretty nutty and I think that should fade away fast.”
A Feb. 4 memo from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) stated that Chief Information Officers at government agencies should be re-classified as political appointees and would work with DOGE. […]

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
