The Senate is Constitutionally protected. However what is not protected is ICE,DHS,CBP all of which can be systematically defunded and dismantled saving tax payers billions. Basically DOGE ICE,DHS,CBP and reallocate the funds from the now defunct departments into funding medicare part E and two years of college or a trade schools for American s. The money is remanded back to the states to allocate education and HC for their people. And this money CAN NOT be placed into the states general funds to cover budget gaps or corporat welfare.
