Musk seems to think he uncovered massive fraud. In fact this is a well-known issue having to do with COBOL programing and the cost of inputting death data for people who died decades ago before records were digitized. oig.ssa.gov/assets/uploa...

Trump's administration has shut down important medical research, left staff in dangerous locations with no way home, he wants to kill OSHA and the Department of Education. He hasn't done anything to stop inflation or lower prices. Almost a month in, do you still think he cares about you?

It is not ideal that the "is a constitutional crisis looming" conversation is centered on Trump vs. courts when the existent crisis — Trump vs. Congress — has been almost completely resolved by Congress's capitulation. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
Opinion | The constitutional crisis arose gradually, then suddenly
We are focusing on the courts because Trump has already prevailed over Congress.

Makes watergate look like checkers
Chris Murphy: "I think this is the most serious constitutional crisis the country has faced, certainly since Watergate. The president is attempting to seize control of power, and for corrupt purposes ... he's trying to crush his opposition ... this is a red alert moment ... our democracy is at risk"

Executive wants to frame the NIH indirects cut as $4B in savings.
But given that NIH returns $2.5 on every $1 investment, this would actually cost US economy a net $6 BILLION (per year!). Not to mention the human costs of wrecking education and research sectors and the communities they serve.
