So I originally made this community as a way to track these DOGE task forces that are popping up all over the U.S. in different states, but it is also to collect and expose any corruption happening at state or local levels.
For example, my state DOGE task force has actually gone pretty silent for now bc they've already drawn too many raised eyebrows and likely violated public transparency laws. Still, my governor continues to sign very corrupt EOs and does all kinds of crap on a regular basis that is directly related to his love of "fiscal responsibility and transparency."
I try to include information about other states when I come across it, but I am pretty overwhelmed just trying to keep up with the neverending corruption in my own state. I need help to create a resource for people to be able to see just how common and widespread this stuff is:
Here is an example of two Florida politicians introducing a bill presented as a way to simply reduce bloat and more efficiently aid states during a natural disaster. However, if the bill became a law, it would actually aid the Trump administration and help achieve their goal of removing FEMA from the Department of Homeland Security. One of the FL representatives introducing the bill, just happens to be a member of Federal DOGE and has been trying to push this bill for quite some time. The other representative on the bill, received an endorsement from Speaker Johnson, for his run for governor, shortly after co-signing.
Here are a few examples of Heritage Foundation affiliates influencing or attempting to influence state policy in Wisconsin, Oklahoma, and Colorado, but I know there is so much more going on that I cannot even begin to keep up with.
I know stuff like this is happening all over the U.S. (and the world) because there are Heritage Foundation affiliates established in all 50 states (even the liberal ones), as well as Canada and the U.K. working to promote local policy that benefits their very wealthy individual and corporate donors.
So whatever local corruption you notice going on around you, be sure to drop it in the community. There's a good chance it might be related to things happening in other parts of the country (and the world) even if it doesn't seem obvious at first glance.
