Off topic, but why isn’t anyone talking about the $1.7T debt added since July? We’re getting into debt almost as fast as the beginning of the pandemic. It’s crazy, check out the numbers for yourself on treasury .gov

DODG, an illegal "agency" but de facto part of the Executive Branch, has neither Constitutional (The "Take Care" clause, US Const Art II sed 4) nor legal authority (The Impoundment Act of 1974) to "cancel funding" for *anything*
That power belongs solely to Congress, who hold the Power of the Purse

When Musk talks about destroying the "deep state," what he really means is he wants to scoop in billions in federal contracts and remain deeply intertwined w/national security bureaucracy without facing oversight constraints. This is untenable. 8/

If the Biden page is a copy, why am I still following his page? You’re just making this up.

You have some twisted logic there. So I was following President Joe Biden, his page was copied and renamed to “archived” and they copied over the follows. The original President Joe Biden page was renamed to President Trump and they deleted all of the posts prior to yesterday but kept the follows.
