Is there no way to stop this treason?
And in other news, the Trump administration is dropping US cyber defenses against Russia.

As Elon Musk guts entire government agencies and fires thousands of federal workers that deliver vital services to the country, remember that his corporations have received at least $38 billion in government contracts over the past 20 years.
Yet will any of this be touched by DOGE? Of course not.

The GOP's budget proposal includes $4.5T dollars in tax cuts — most going to the richest people in America.
They want to pay for it with massive cuts to programs like Medicaid and SNAP.
