That Escalated Quickly! MAGA vs. the DOGE Duo

I recently had a live chat with Politics Off the Record host

Egberto Willies

about the cohort of billionaires working behind the scenes in Donald Trump’s transition—with a cameo appearance in the background by my wife Shannon. Egberto and I also discussed the developing rift between the president-elect’s MAGA supporters and DOGE twosome Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. Interestingly, Laura Loomer, a self-described anti-Muslim advocate, has led the charge against the duo, but she’s also paying the price.
