The whole world has been watching as the “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE), the partnership between Elon Musk and the Trump administration, has worked to fulfill its pledge to reduce waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal government. Despite promises to the contrary, there has been very little transparency about DOGE or its operations - until now.
Join Adam Klasfeld, a former MSNBC legal contributor and founder of All Rise News, as he interviews Sahil Lavingia, a former DOGE engineer. This discussion aims to reveal what DOGE is really doing behind the scenes and offer the public a unique chance to ask direct questions to someone who was there.
Adam Klasfeld is a longtime legal journalist who was in the courtroom the moment Donald Trump became a convicted felon. In addition to regular appearances on MSNBC’s The Last Word - including every day for seven weeks during the Trump trial - Adam has appeared on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, CBS’s Inside Edition, the BBC, NBC, Sky News, and many other outlets. His belief in the ability of fact-based reporting to empower audiences in an age of pessimism and despair inspired him to create his new outlet, All Rise News.
Sahil Lavingia is a former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) engineer who was fired after speaking to a journalist about what was actually going on inside the organization.
