The cost of the "Fork" is steep. Here's how former director of the U.S. Office of Gov Ethics, Walter Shaub is thinking about the Trump administration's deferred resignation offer. Read his full explanation here: https://buff.ly/3QwNGqP
![Quote by Walter Shaub:
[T]he cost of this so-called deferred retirement is in the realm of...$6.38 billion.
How do you tell hard working American families that you just paid people who actually wanted to help the government deliver for the American people over $6 billion not to work — and then made those families pay the tab run up by an unelected billionaire?](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4fvbdr5zqt7b74qllyg2vdit/bafkreialfvvvtvfr237ro57dplaajmcubn33bjfa3tj7tkdj4nefbe6fue@jpeg)

None of Trump’s actions since January 20th have surprised me. He is the most “honest” President we’ve had in our lifetime. He has announced over and over what he was going to do should the American people let him back into the White House. He is transparency on steroids.
