At one federal agency's office building, DOGE workers have IKEA beds, dressers and even a children's play area. The agency is also considering spending about $25,000 to install a washer and dryer, per an invoice we obtained.

Why are they spending money when they are firing people? I am sure there is plenty of furniture available for use just sitting around since there are no workers in them anymore. Of course that is unless musk is paying for furniture out of his own pocket, not mine.

I work at the VA for research. I 100% expect to lose my job if I slept at work. This is not permitted. Neither is consumption of illegal drugs, which still includes weed at the federal level. We should test them like we are tested.

I would be surprised if anyone would put their name to this. The VA (in my experience in LA and Boston) is *extremely* conservative. It's difficult to imagine Musk on his video games all day and impregnating women all over the country is running any company, much less DOGE. 😅
