It’s not just a squirrel, » Miller explained. « It’s all the kids that went hungry that night and all the other things the money and resources could have been put to. »Hopefully, that DOGE will clean things up at the state level. »The animal, which became an internet sensation, was killed after a raid earlier this month.The state Department of Environmental Conservation seized Peanut and a raccoon named Fred from owner Mark Longo’s home and animal sanctuary in rural Pine City, New York, near the Pennsylvania border, earlier this week. TRUMP THANKS DANA WHITE, UFC FANS FOR RAUCOUS WELCOME AT MSGThe agency, which said it had received complaints that wildlife was being kept illegally, then euthanized the critters, to the horror of Longo and about 550,000 of Peanut’s best friends.The incident sparked outrage just ahead of President-elect Donald Trump’s election victory over Vice President Kamala Harris.X CEO Elon Musk reacted to Miller’s words on the social media platform.The billionaire was at Madison Square Garden with the president-elect and other cabinet nominees. Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy were tapped to lead DOGE.Ramaswamy outlined the initiative for DOGE in an interview on « Sunday Morning Futures. » He wants to bring « sweeping change » and « as early and as quickly as possible. » »The failures of the executive branch need to be addressed because the dirty little secret right now is the people we elect to run the government, they’re not the ones who actually run the government. It’s the unelected bureaucrats in the administrative state that was created through executive action. It’s going to be fixed through executive action, » he said. »Think about the Supreme Court’s environment. Over the last several years, they’ve held that many of those regulations are unconstitutional at a large scale. Rescind those regulations, pull those regs back, and then that gives us the industrial logic to then downsize the size of that administrative state. And the beauty of all of this is that can be achieved just through executive action without Congress. Score some early wins, and then you look at those bigger portions of the federal budget that need to be addressed one by one. » Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
