Amy Klobuchar says 'shock and awe' cuts by DOGE won't be 'effective'

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) said the Department of Government Efficiency is only cutting funds “for shock and awe.”

These criticisms came after U.S. Department of Agriculture Inspection Service employees were fired last week as the bird flu crisis continues to threaten farmers and increase the price of eggs. Millions of chickens have died from the virus, leaving egg production suffering and increasing prices by 15.2% in January alone. Klobuchar blamed DOGE for these firings and suggested these employees might not return while on ABC News’s The View on Monday.
