As Heather Cox Richardson describes Musk’s catastrophic defunding of NSAID and NIH, I am struck by how much good our government does behind the scenes, and how we as a nation have come to take it for granted - even demonize it.

Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

How many U.S. news outlets are going to call Trump "tough" and say Mexico and Canada "backed down" despite the fact that Trump got absolutely nothing out of this that wasn't already happening before he took office?

Cool! Thanks for understanding the problem. Do you know like a Senator or something who could do something other than post about it?!
The federal government is not Twitter and when Trump and Musk break government it has consequences—lives are on the line.
Food safety inspection. Air traffic control. Social Security checks. Nuclear Security. Drug approvals. Wildfire management.
The list goes on.
