We can all watch the DOGE team in action and not speculate as to their brilliance or irresponsibility.

Let's open their repos and see their PRs. Then nobody will need to make assertions about their brilliance or irresponsibility. D.O.G.E.: Make your repos public. Let's see what you …

Let's see their Pull Requests. Then you won't need to make assertions about their ability. We can have public accountability in the light of day.

You're right, thank you for the fix. My apologies.
