“Elon Musk has claimed that one of the most common errors of a smart engineer is to optimize a thing that should not exist. But it doesn’t take a SpaceX-level engineer to understand that the Office of Government Ethics — an agency few Americans know by name, but whose unchecked power casts a long shadow over our democracy — simply has no purpose in its current form. The OGE is a partisan, bureaucratic thicket that should be fully dismantled. It selectively enforces hazy rules around the financial arrangements of incoming candidates and officials — often in a heavy-handed manner against Republicans. Commonly, the two winners in a battle with OGE are (1) Democrats and (2) lawyers. As a practicing attorney in the field of political law, I have a first-hand look at this frequently-partisan battle waged by OGE against nominees and candidates.” (04/30/25)
