The cover-up…
USAID officials were ordered to destroy classified documents, raising concerns about compliance with federal law. An internal email sent to remaining bureau leaders at the agency’s Washington headquarters provided guidance on “clearing our classified safes and personnel documents.”

📸 No one follows more etiquette rules than the Royal Family—but notice how King Charles didn’t make any smart-ass or demeaning comments about Zelensky’s attire today.
Why? Because respect isn’t about clothes—it’s about character. And that’s something money can’t buy.

You should know that a big part of 18F's work was to make sure multi-million to multi-*hundreds*-of-millions dollar contracts at fed *and* state level didn't go to shitty enterprise IT consultancies that *repeatedly* delivered tech that didn't work, was late, or didn't even do what it needed to

According to Musk and most of tech: No conflict, no interest
DOGE recommended firing workers at:
-FDA, which oversees Neuralink
-FAA, which oversees SpaceX
-USAID, which probed Starlink
-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.
"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

The weekend purge at HHS is putting the health and safety of Americans at risk. I talked to people w/in FDA, NIH & CMS about the important work they do--and what we lose out on with this unconscionable dismantling of public health & science in the US. My latest @opinion.bloomberg.com (gift link):
HHS Job Cuts Jeopardize Our Health and Safety
Firing thousands of employees at the agencies that oversee our food supply, research cures for cancer and monitor disease outbreaks is shortsighted.

Exactly. Authoritarianism.
A pattern is starting to emerge from the flood of actions coming from the Trump administration: The initial stance is often maximally aggressive, but it can be walked back if the targeted groups have direct access to the president.
