I have colleagues in Silver Spring (NOAA HQ) who, let's just say "witnessed" Elon's team at facility and overheard them at various times. Apparently there was a conversation with "giggles" about plans to cancel non-SpaceX launch contracts thru NASA citing "inefficiency". That's pretty wild stuff.

It's a start. Don't stop protesting and build momentum, every single day! I'm ready to fight, especially if Medicare and/or social security are cut. The people who need it are too old to fight. None of us would be here without them. Courts need to get busy, this could get nasty if they don't.

Trump doesn't care if the economy crashes and communities suffer. His goal is to force you and your family to accept a lower standard of living while he and his friends get richer. Cutting support for law enforcement, schools, small businesses and firefighters is chaos by design.
President Trump’s order freezing trillions of dollars in federal grants and loans sent officials at schools, hospitals, nonprofit organizations and many others into a frantic scramble to understand the extent of the directive. Here's what to know.
Order to pause federal spending creates deep uncertainty for schools, nonprofits and companies.

The day after I arrived in Japan, I performed ritual misogi under a waterfall when I lived at a Shinto shrine in Japan during grad school. The ritual may have “purified me, but at that moment I was more grateful that it cured my jet lag.
