THE REAL DOGE. It’s not an exaggeration to say that much of the media’s coverage of Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency effort has veered between contempt, ridicule, and sheer hatred.

On Wednesday, at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Marines from Virginia came face-to-face with Vice President JD Vance, the first Marine vice president in history.
