This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II.
Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

From food safety to air travel to environmental protections, Trump and Musk have gone on a firing spree at agencies that protect nearly every facet of American life.
This has nothing to do with "efficiency" and everything to do with lining their own pockets at our expense.

This is absolutely devastating.
NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.
Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.
