Strutting across the stage, giving the Sieg heil!, the far-right mogul set up shop in the Trump administration’s DOGE dojo and started chaotically pulling the load-bearing beams out of the civil service and heisting the private data of an untold number of taxpayers.

And the first beneficiary of his dirty money is slated to be endangered Maine Republican Susan Collins.
