DOGE plans to slash about as much ($4B) from NIH, and hence from universities and medical centers, as the government gave SpaceX ($3.8B) last year.
It's not about the money and government "waste."
It's never been about the money or government "waste."

Elon Musk wants to cut government spending. Tesla and SpaceX benefit from it
Over the last 16 years, Musk's business deals with the government total nearly $20 billion, according to federal contracting data.

SpaceX, which holds billions of dollars in government contracts, was penalized by the FAA for ignoring regulations. In response, Musk pushed for the resignation of the agency’s chairman.

And watch the Trade Uncertainty Index shoot near 20-year highs. Legal chaos generally NOT a driver of domestic business investment.
Trump Doctrine: Destroy government program illegally, await lawsuit and TRO temporarily halting destruction, watch case move through courts at taxpayer expense, repeat. Meanwhile, we all pay the price in legal fees and chaos.

Trump's CFPB, now under the command of billionaire hedge fund manager Scott Bessent, has halted the Biden admin's rule to ban medical bills from credit reports.
It's been estimated that the rule would help improve the credit scores of 15 million people.
Some populist, huh?

MN is proud to help feed the world (in fact, this program was created by Hubert Humphrey). Now not only is that in jeopardy, but millions of dollars in income for farmers is too? Disgusting.
This food, which we’ve already paid for, is waiting on ships to be delivered to those who need it.

Shuttering of USAID could mean the end of millions in income for Midwest farm operations
Frozen by Elon Musk’s DOGE personnel, the USAID program purchased $70 million in commodities in 2024 from Minnesota vendors.

Elon says 90% of US aid never reaches communities.
He confuses USAID's 90% reliance on intermediaries -- US companies delivering HIV drugs, WFP delivering food aid -- with waste. Comical if not so dangerous.

I agree. We are witnessing the disintegration of the federal constitutional order.
It is past time to start consider - in concrete terms - what individuals, and entities including business enterprises, and blue states, can do to protect against/not facilitate tyranny.
A couple of (actually serious) thought-experiment questions on where we are and where we’re going:
If a bunch of sociopaths are destroying the federal government from within, why should we pay federal taxes?
And if they succeed, who’s going to make us pay those taxes?

they are mostly targeting black employees so this is quite literally just a repeat of woodrow wilson’s segregationist purge of the federal government
Federal health workers are expressing fear and alarm after a website called “DEI Watch List” published the photos, names and public information of a number of workers across health agencies, describing them as “targets.”

They're calling him Mr. 49%
The intensity of Trump worlds sensitivity about his “mandate” and “overwhelming victory” is pretty transparent. They were actually sending out press emails this morning trying to “prove” it was a mandate. Fact that he’s below 50% is a big deal to them. Tiny margin by any standard
