So much is going on, but this book summarizes it very well and is easy to understand. It's called "The DOGE Dystopia, Created by Elon Musk: The First 50 Days" and is a day-by-day account of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and its transformative impact on the U.S. government. The book examines sweeping agency reductions, the push toward privatization, and the gradual dismantling of Federal institutions, replaced by a tech-infused authoritarian framework. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F1KH45XG
