“They're trying to convince people this is more dangerous than it is. It is not like that. What I'm seeing is a protest as American as I've seen any other protest. And so I'm very optimistic that when someone with force tries to stay shut up, people are not indifferent to that. They care.”

Some 7,000 jobs have already been cut through firings and buyouts.

Elon Musk's DOGE is demanding more cuts to dismantle the services that 74 million rely on.
