Weekly Update - 12.8.24
Good afternoon, and welcome to our Weekend Update. On Saturday, we paused to recognize the 83rd anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor—a day that will forever live in infamy. This defining moment in our history resulted in the tragic loss of more than 2,400 Americans, all of whom made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. We honor their memory and the bravery and resilience that continue to define the enduring legacy of the American spirit. This week, I spent nearly an hour and a half with Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to discuss their Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) plans. I asked questions and shared my recommendations on rooting out waste, fraud, redundancies, and unnecessary bureaucracy in the federal government. DOGE will prevent the federal bureaucracy from becoming an unelected fourth branch of government.
