Congresswoman Crockett says she’d tell Musk to ‘F*** off’ if given the chance
Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett did not hold back when she was asked on February 25 while outside the US Capitol if she had a message for billionaire and head of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency initiative (DOGE), Elon Musk.
WASHINGTON − The Justice Department is considering merging the lead agencies enforcing drug and gun laws in a major shakeup as it moves to follow President Donald Trump’s instructions to sharply streamline the government.
In addition to merging the Drug Enforcement Agency and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, department leaders are considering eliminating field offices that handle antitrust and environmental cases, according to a March 25 memo seen by Reuters.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche in that memo ordered department officials to provide feedback to the proposed restructuring by April 2.
A DOJ spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
