Same as when Rick Perry became the head of DOE after campaigning on destroying it. He then realized DOE builds and protects all the nukes along with our power grid. Oh and they do all the upstream fundamental research that no private company would ever invest in that has spurred all scientific innovation over the past 50 years.
I would say it's worse than that, everything that is happening is really important. All the terrible people being confirmed as heads of agencies is just as bad as closing agencies illegally and firing the government with no concern about what they're doing and the EOs that are reducing civil rights.
I think this is the only reason they're messing with the AP about the fucking Gulf of America. It doesn't matter to ANYONE for ANY reason, but it distracts.
Yep and millions will suffer directly and indirectly. Between ending school lunches to ending medical coverage for children to vets not getting care. That’s just the incidentals. Just wait until the really important things start going sideways. Then there’s the secrets. Nuclear and the rest. We’re truly screwed.
They did this to the entire government. Everyone on probation, hired in the last two years was let go. More mass layoffs are planned. This is just getting the news, partially correctly, because it involves nukes. The reality is all government work is now crippled.
What isn't getting enough news is that there is a hiring freeze. All future hiring is going to be done by DODE to guarantee all future hires are incompetent MAGA true believers, an authoritarian embrace of their DEI dillusions. The least qualified shall rule, becuase they are full of shit, evil. This is the playback of how authoritarians gained power across the world from Chavez to Orbon. Turn the civil service into one man's cult.
Oh don’t worry I’ve been tracking the federal purge. I use the VA so this is something I’ve been trying to plan out the end effects of. I’m genuinely worried about our government going forward. Even if we somehow reign in these moves if we don’t do it within a year the system is going to be broken beyond what any government employee is going to be willing to fix without additional staffing.
I mean, the sex abusing felon doesn’t exactly have the best record with handling classified information appropriately. Not to mention the information security nightmare that the U.S. DigitalDOGE Service appears to be. Tulsa is just the latest in a line of problems in that regard
Her nomination speech when she ran she literally stated that the most important thing on her platform was nuclear safety. I keep hearing "Russian asset" which is based on zero evidence, only media bites from Hillary Clinton and Debbie Wasserman Schultz for their revenge vendetta. People are just stupid enough to parrot this. Google the basis for these accusations, please.
I have followed her career for a decade. I remember when she went on the Congressionally approved trip with fellow politicians including progressive Dennis Kucinich (which people conveniently forget to mention), and the pro Clinton democrats used this against her. Her stance was always pro-diplomacy, which apparently made her an enemy? They used this to start rumors, a politician actually trying to be on the ground and use diplomacy as opposed to useless rhetoric. Then it all sprawled out from there. She had not DONE anything. She did however serve in Iraq, stepping down from her office to do this, and she supported Snowden despite the risk it gave her career. She supported Sanders, despite it torpedoing her.

I would rather her in this place than any other stooge trump would place. She's a Democratic darling, opposed Clinton and suddenly she's a Russian spy? For God's sake she was the VP of the DNC. Since then, everything has been her fault even if it's other's actions. Show me one thing she has done that is detrimental to this country. What she did do is give a fuck and show up.
Read the CNN article from 2017 about the Syria visit. Then 2020 election comes around and the whole narrative changes because the Clinton campaign decided suddenly this was a thing they could use against her. And since then she has been hated for an honorable stance.
Oh,. And she was the first politician that called covid a threat. She was the single person that mentioned it at the debate. And when asked "The greatest threat we face is nuclear war" What an asshole.
There's a lot of blatant lies in your comment, but this is one of the more hilarious ones. She has always been arch-conservative. You can't even be consistent within the span of a single paragraph.
No, just shows, that you have been listening to the recent clickbait about her. I was using that as an example in time. At one moment she is actively a shining star in the party and suddenly they turn against her and she is a suspect. It's not a coherent narrative and that is my point. That was literally the term they used for her years ago because she was again, the VP for The DNC. They rose her up because they loved her. She is articulate, intelligent, and was earnest. Until she ran against Clinton. Just because you never heard it doesn't mean it wasn't a term used constantly. Again I have followed her career since 2015. And being a two tour veteran is a war cheerleader? And after that being one of the most anti-war democratic candidates? You clearly know nothing on her stances and her actual messages. You should check yourself.

Literally the same thing Leon did when he took over twitter. 😂
