We need to have a serious discussion about nationalizing SpaceX/Starlink. Republicans who wanted to privatize our space program handed Musk $billions AND our intellectual property when he didn't even have a viable prototype. We're still paying for R&D. He's too much of a national security risk now.

HHS wiped out our bureau when we were working to recover over $1 BILLION in unreported or misspent Covid funds. Money has been left on the table thanks to the massive cuts by DOGE. Explain how that’s efficient like I’m 5?

DOGE cuts were way over due. So much waste fraud and abuse… IMO congress should have led the effort the entire time. I feel bad for the people that were laid off in the DMV area but this was very much needed. I was impacted by DOGE and laid off (30+ years Federal) I still think it was needed.

Can you be specific as to how the govt is wasteful, other than use generalities? If you saw waste, fraud, and abuse did you call the whistleblower hotline, or contact the Inspector General? You had a responsibility to report these things.

Workers say morale tanked. Instead of working in service of departmental missions and the American people, some say they felt their work during this time ran contrary to their own values and those of the agency that had hired them. www.wired.com/story/oral-h...
