AOC: “The numbers don’t add up. $880 BILLION is a devastating cut to Medicaid, and an attack on Medicare.
42 million children-covered by Medicaid.
42% of births- covered by Medicaid.
The Pro-Life regime doesn't care. It's as if they want to trip us up and blame us for falling.

Public trust in government is critical.
Having unelected billionaires fire public servants to pad their own profits destroys that trust.

The Appointments clause cases are the whole banana.
"At the hearing, Judge Kollar-Kotelly repeatedly asked a lawyer for the government, Bradley Humphreys, to identify the [DOGE] service’s administrator. He was unable to answer her."
Judge Questions Constitutionality of Musk’s DOGE Operation
The judge expressed concern over the unresolved issues about who is in charge of Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency, if it is not Mr. Musk, as the White House has claimed.

Journalists should be discussing these power grabs in clear terms: this is an administrative coup. Elon Musk is acting outside the law to gut agencies and usurp and centralize as much power as possible in order to concentrate as much wealth as possible. This is a smash-and-grab race to autocracy.

One impact of the NSF freeze: They fund the small nonprofit, EarthScope, that manages seismic and GPS stations used worldwide to detect and warn of earthquakes and navigate autonomous vehicles.
EarthScope can maybe make payroll this week. A prolonged freeze could see stations fail.
