I know this is going to sound naive or earnest, but I genuinely find myself shocked by how little people seem to be upset by the levels of corruption we're seeing. Is that the median voter assumes everyone is corrupt already? Or isn't actually getting stories about the corruption?

There’s obviously a lot going on right now, but Donald Trump’s efforts to install a military command that places loyalty to him above loyalty to the constitution should be a much bigger story.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.
It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.
They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.
I’m happy to invest and/or help

It was obvious they were lying about Musk's $400M contract with the government to build armored Teslas.
The Biden administration was going to give him a few hundred thousand dollars—then, after Trump took office, they increased it to $400M.
After they got caught, they doctored the records.
