Removing trans service members does not enhance readiness or lethality
Instead, it just demonstrates to our friends that we don’t actually believe in our values and shows our enemies that we can be easily divided by hatred.
We are stronger together. Full stop.

defense acquisition reform may be warranted but it is important to remember that Congress actively created and maintained the system; it is most definitely not the product of “unelected Executive branch bureaucrats”

What if “tell me what you do here” is simply a pretext by which to get an org chart of the entire executive branch, down to the lowest level?

This is a room where we turn very modest salaries and budgets (and lots of coffee) into new knowledge, life-saving innovations, and technology that feeds business growth.
It's literally the loom that spins hay into gold but these numpties are suddenly worried about the cost of hay.

The United States by virtue of a bipartisan commitment to biomedical research created one of the most vibrant, productive research ecosytems in the world. People came from all over to study here, do research here. It was a monumental accomplishment by both parties. 1/

Congress should subpoena Elez
SCOOP: The US Treasury claimed a DOGE's Marco Elez didn’t have ‘write access,’ when he actually did. Sources tell WIRED that his ability to alter code controlling trillions in federal spending was rescinded, days after officials said it didn't exist.
