  4. Musk has anywhere from $15 to $20 billion in federal contracts over the past 10 years from NASA and DoD. Having him now in charge of overseeing agencies and making decisions who gets fired and what departments get cut while he gets paid billions is a major red flag. trump is too stupid to see it because musk fawns over him and that is all it takes to get trump to agree to anything.

    This seems very true with attitudes to dismantling USAID without great caution.

    I never said you were trying to cultivate an audience, or that you claimed you wanted to be thought highly of. I just said you weren't.

    We're going to have to disagree on "handful of programs that were wasteful". Please provide one program that was cut off that you would have kept. Please be specific on the plan.

    I'm celebrating it just like you. Glad she's gone. If it's "nasty" to be OK with a 30 year career government official resigning, then call me Mr. Nasty.

    One of the few things the US has long done and for which we, perhaps only the older generation anymore, can be proud of...
