"A sudden shuttering would put at risk nearly 300,000 bees in the collection that hadn’t yet been properly preserved. Their little bodies left to rot in an empty lab building. Gnawed by mice, scattered by insects. Decades of research, gone."

No nation can keep its republic if constitutional conservatives don’t join with liberals, progressives, & libertarians in common cause to prevent far-right parties from abusing power.
The USA is at dire risk.
Americans will need to find common cause to overcome our domestic authoritarian movement.
And still pay no taxes?

The relevant precedent to DOGE isn’t Gore’s National Performance Review or the Truman Committee: it’s the War Production Board & “dollar/year men” the Truman Commitee investigated. Corrupt CEOs are literally why ethics laws for “Special Government Employees” exist today.
Congress must enforce them.
Is Muck the the foreign invasion the Republicans warned us about?
