Summary
DOGE staffers Tyler Hassen and Bryton Shang tried pressuring the Bureau of Reclamation to open a California water pump to aid Los Angeles during January’s wildfires, though the system couldn’t reach the city.
When denied, they flew there to do it themselves but failed due to maintenance and access restrictions.
Critics called DOGE a “slapstick operation of 20-somethings they’re seeing as whiz kids but have zero knowledge.”
Trump later ordered dam releases, flooding farmland. Critics called DOGE’s actions reckless and uninformed.

I wish someone would put me in a room with these losers
First, the power was off due to planned maintenance. Second, Shang wasn’t an official federal employee yet, meaning he couldn’t access the pump. Hassen couldn’t do it either, CNN reports, because he had to fly back before the power would be restored.
“They didn’t get their photo op,” an unnamed source with knowledge of the incident told CNN, adding it represented “what DOGE has been this entire time — this slapstick operation of 20-somethings they’re seeing as whiz kids but have zero knowledge.”
lol that’s amazing levels of incompetence.
These Doggy stooges are sooooo freaking annoying.
If DOGE was a movie, it would be Sausage Party.
Yelling at various department managers and threatening to call Musk might work for the agencies they’ve gutted, but yeah fucking with any fire department during an active wildfire…I don’t care who you are, you’re gonna have a bad time. Possibly shovel related.
They look like my dad after he finds a new jacket at Costco.
A couple of terms that need to be resurrected and put into common use during this MAGA Occupation:
Reminder: pronounce DOGE as “doggy” to deny them legitimacy
Always have been
Or just DGE like it would be if it were an actual bureau, DOGE is what they want because it minimizes legitimacy of government itself.
I’ve been pronouncing it “doogie” because it makes it seem as silly as it is
I like your approach. It certainly makes me think of how all the people involved are like way too young.
I’m going to keep going with “doggy” because it reinforces to me how the decision making is on par with toddler logic
this whole organization runs exactly like a Seth Rogen / Michael Cera / Jonah Hill movie, except no one is likeable.
Tyler Hassen and Bryton Shang are fascist toadies.
Ya know when you’re a teenager and you have these delusions of grandure, and think the world would work just fine if you were allowed to run it, because these “Stupid Adults don’t know ANYTHING!”
That’s DOGE
“Stupid Adults don’t know ANYTHING!”
I mean… these are adults.
Only if you look at their chronological age and not their behavior.
All I’m saying is is that I could have absolutely have done a better job as a teenager then these fuckwits.
Fucking morons.
Bout sums it up.
failed PR attempt
Imagine Bryton and Tyler showing up at your workplace in the middle of a crisis to take selfies and tweet about how they fixed your problems.
It feels like the plot of an episode of Parks and Rec, but like, stupider, and not funny at all
Smart people thinking they know everything. I know plenty of preteens that are the same way. They don’t seem to understand there’s a difference between knowledge and wisdom.
