I agree.
They can do this if they’re willing to cause a Second Great Depression and risk a civil war.
Americans don’t yet realize what cuts this deep would do to us—how many would be out of work, unhoused, unable to feed their children; how many would die unnecessarily; or the anger it will cause.

Are you concerned that Trump will follow through on his promises to fire public servants and experts and install loyalists in the federal government?
We are. But it's not too late to do anything about it. Congress: pass the Saving The Civil Service Act.

Trump has said he wants to destroy the “deep state” 56 times on Truth Social - CREW | Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington
Trump cites the “deep state” as the main force that prevented him from accomplishing everything that he wanted to during his first term by supposedly sabotaging him and undermining his power.

President Obama left the detailed playbook for dealing with pandemics. The Trump Administration ignored it with disastrous consequences. Now he wants to appoint anti-vaxxer RFK Jr to HHS. He said Kennedy could “go wild” with public health. This is insane.
