Senator Joni Ernst highlighted the significance of the newly created Department of the Government Efficiency spearheaded by billionaire entrepreneurs Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy – D.O.G.E, adding that tax dollars must not be wasted. She urged her fellow Senators and politicians to join this initiative, stating that “Doge is inevitable.”

The canvas features a well-known Internet meme where a Doge dog in the form of a sand-dust cloud is devouring Washington D.C, hinting at D.O.G.E. operations spreading around the governmental city quickly and inevitably.
