KELOland has an extensive interview posted with United States Sen. Mike Rounds, who appears to be on course for another term in Washington.
Rounds is focused on resolving some of the issues with how DOGE is operating, it is very clear that he is not planning on returning to the governors chair in Pierre:
“I gotta tell you, a lot of the messages that’s come out of DOGE or out of the different agencies has been pretty raw and really not very nice in terms of saying ‘you’re done’ or ‘we don’t need you anymore,’” Rounds said during a one-on-one interview with KELOLAND News. “Very inappropriate, in terms of the way that they’ve shown some disrespect for a lot of our, either people that are operating through grants or people that are operating, have been good employees for years. So, we try to respond and go back and say, let’s make sure, number one, that there hasn’t been a mistake made.”

Santella: Are you considering a run for the governor’s office?
“I am not,” Rounds said. “I looked at it. I seriously looked at that because honestly, look, it’s the greatest job in the world.”
Hope to see Sen. Rounds running for reelection!
Ditto. He will win easily
Grifty Mike slowly waking up.
These DOGE idiots fired workers at the VA, courts says no, you need to follow the rules, so the employees ended up getting paid to sit at home instead of training.
VA in desperate need of people and these con men playing games. Support the troops my ass.
The VA needs people who actually take care of veterans, not the ones who live to torture the real workers with endless mandatory meetings and DEI training sessions.
Bullshit, DOGE was slashing and burning without a care.

The public would like to see some of this “trying”. Go on Fox, get together with other Congress members, fire some tweets, whatever, to call out these ignorant kids. Has Congress actually done a single thing since Trump entered office?
