Looking at you, @npr.org. I was nauseated by your reporting on the Department of Government “efficiency” the other day.
There’s no such thing as working productively with MAGA nihilists like Elon, Vivek and RFK, Jr. They want to bring down our Republic. Don’t normalize them by pointing out a few of their good ideas.
