This is a constitutional crisis: the President doesn't have the power to cancel funds appropriated by Congress. Also, the math is insane; there is NO way to cut $4B/day by getting rid of "fraud". Cuts of that magnitude will dangerously undermine the core functions of government.

The irony of people doing this fake virtue signaling (after an entire campaign rife with fainting spells over the cost of eggs), is that their political deity is famous for manufacturing his clothing outside the US and for failing to pay American contractors.

I said last year that in 2025 I would start using Bluesky more than TwitterX, but that got delayed due to reasons. So now is a good time to switch. Even though my tweet interactions & views have dried up, I decided I won't close that account. I know some mutuals are here, but many I follow are not.
