a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job
This profile has been scrubbed from the site. Rose Ferreira grew up without reliable electricity, immigrated to NY, then survived homelessness and cancer on her way to NASA. She was so moved by images from the Webb telescope she wept. This is what’s at stake

There is bipartisan support to cut red tape and make the government better.

But that doesn’t involve giving an unelected billionaire complete control.

DOGE is not a government agency and Elon is not a government employee or appointee.

Is the GOP just a bunch of lemmings?
