DOGE's Multibillion-Dollar Contract Cuts Are Hitting Blue Districts Hardest - It's not even close.

Democrats are disproportionately feeling the brunt of DOGE’s slashing of federally awarded contracts. Only around 12% of the U.S.-based contracts cut by DOGE are for work in Republican districts, NOTUS found. And unlike their Republican counterparts, Democratic lawmakers don’t have a line to Elon Musk to get their districts’ work off the chopping block.

NOTUS analyzed the roughly 7,200 “terminated” contracts DOGE lists on its site. About half account for the effective shuttering of U.S. Agency for International Development and are primarily in or around D.C., but the cancellations spread all across the country, carrying a collective price tag of billions of dollars.

The overwhelming majority of those cuts are for contracts in blue districts, Federal Procurement Data System records show. Of over 1,500 contracts outside the D.C. area that DOGE counted as yielding savings, about 1,285 terminated contracts were for work primarily undertaken in districts represented by Democrats, while just 280 contracts were cut in districts represented by Republicans.



To Democrats’ chagrin, the administration isn’t listening to their complaints like it does — at least sometimes — for Republicans. “We’ve written a number of letters,” Rep. Zoe Lofgren said. “They never get answered.”

4. That's the whole point.

It sees anyone who doesn't idolize it as an enemy, anyone who sees what it really is. Since that's mostly Democrats/people in blue states...well.

I don’t get it. I don’t get it. I don’t get it. I don’t get it. I don’t get it.


I see a tired, soft, flabby, sagging, weak old man who is trying to look like a tough guy who understands or cares about whatever the world’s richest drug addict is going on about.

How the fuck is it that these people see anything else? Let alone a god?

8. Is that a reflection of the distribution of federal jobs in the districts?

Obviously the districts around DC are going to have the most federal workers, but what is the percentage of the federal employees in each district being cut? If for example with completely made up numbers if a red district had 10 federal employees and 7 were cut, and a blue district with 1000 federal workers and 100 were cut, that's a smaller percentage while still being a much larger cut by dollar value due to total numbers and cost of living.
