New Buying Power: I wrote about how America built the postwar world order and its own society on “consumer choice” and cheap goods, and what happens if Trump strips that out while also gutting the social safety net. Gift link:

Within minutes of showing up at the IRS, a twenty-something software engineer dispatched from DOGE began demanding access to the tax collection agency’s most protected internal databases — including the one containing the personal and financial data for millions of American taxpayers.
‘Delete’ is one of their favorite terms: Inside DOGE’s IRS takeover ahead of tax season | CNN Politics

It takes several months to complete the FAA Academy and two to four years of on-the-job training to become a certified air traffic controller, but don’t worry, the ones Elon’s DOGEbags want fired will be replaced with “geniuses from M.I.T.”

So this is fine.
Everything is fine.

“President Trump regards people who take their constitutional oath seriously as, by definition, his political enemies. His attack on public service is not about reform; it’s a first strike against a key obstacle to authoritarianism”
