It's exciting to see some of this is being stopped. But realize, widespread, permanent and irreparable damage has already been done, which is the goal of this blitz. Government employees are being fired at worst and bullied at best. Foreign people have lost access to food and water.
If everything were stopped immediately, I suspect it would take years to repair. Which, again, is the goal. The longer it goes on, the longer, exponentially, it will take to repair.
Given the recent SCOTUS immunity ruling and the president's power to pardon, there is no possible way Trump, Musk or anyone else involved will be held criminally accountable. I hope SCOTUS has realized what it has done. Maybe it does not care.
I suspect fear, anger and hate is intensifying. I wonder if MAGA still loves it or knows what is happening. It will affect everyone.
Kathleen, feel free to delete any post I make. I really feel dark about this situation and it shows in my comments. Your judgement is probably much better at this time.

Enlightening. I'm scared. I'm scared to action.

Unfortunately I read the NYT article you posted: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/us/politics/musk-federal-government.html?unlocked_article_code=1.uU4._R3z.t9V42dBeL9T1&smid=url-share&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email
I wish I could say “unbelievable”, but honestly expected the worst to begin with.
Thanks for this Kathleen.
