Be careful what you wish for. 

Exercising the vaunted “Power of the Purse” may or may not be the answer.  

CFPB operates without appropriated funds.  

DOGE could be funded out of savings. 

Yes. Of course there are differences.   

But with GOP controlled WH and both houses of Congress and a friendly USSCt, it will be more difficult for Democrats to enjoy 2 sets of rules. 

“What 2 sets of rules?” you ask.   

1 set for Joe pardoning Hunter — don’t expect different rules when J6 defendants are pardoned next month.  

1 rule for the filibuster when Schumer is Majority Leader (NO filibuster) and a different one when he’s in the minority. 

1 rule for lawfare under Garland, etc. What are your expectations for AG Bondi? 

1 rule for law-abiding citizens in sanctuary States & cities, another for elected officials who will “resist” DHS/ICE operations. 

You get the drift. 

Of course, consider the source when you quote Rep. Lofgren.  Her legislative and public record reflects a lack of understanding what’s history and what’s in the present.  30 years in the House, and not much to show for it, other than voting the party line in excess of 90%. 

The prestigious Molière Citation is ironically awarded to Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D, CA) for her obtuse interpretation of both the Constitution and legislative practice in the federal government.  May DOGE identify lots of pork in your district.
