The Trump administration is reviewing contracts across the federal housing agency. Some employees worry about potentially "devastating" cuts, though union leaders also hope some good may come of it.

How many lives, how many children, how many families, how many livelihoods must be sacrificed to the vanity, revenge, hatred, & greed of 2 men?
And if you think you will be spared, understand that their illusion of their own superiority will eventually destroy all they believe are inferior. YOU!
DOGE is *not* "seeking to cut waste and fraud." They are seeking to dismantle the government and the free press (you!) under the guise (lie) of cutting waste and fraud.
Don't lie for them. That is not the job of the press.
Why are you complicit in this coup by Elon Musk? Will it end well for you? (Coup is his word not mine!) They have LEGAL ways to do in this, with a majority, using accountants and experts. He’s already shut down several departments. ‘Digitally Destroying America’ should be the headline everywhere.
Every organization - public, private, non-profit - has waste and abuse. By the way, just like Congress and the administration. So, go after it. No brainer. But don't just start slashing without consideration to the unanticipated consequences. Think - not a hard concept.
Again, any cuts are illegal as they do not come from congress. And finding a couple of unrepresentative idiots to both - sides this is sanewashing a coup.
Only cutting programs & services which help the middle class & poor (who need the help) not cutting the billions which Musk receives (who is the World's Rich Man & Biggest Gov't dependent & doesn't need the help)
STOP SAYING THEY ARE COMING TO CUT WASTE AND FRAUD. They are not doing any such thing. ZERO real reports/investigations. They are indiscriminately cutting funding to groups they don't like based on race and sex.
Not cutting the billions which Musk receives (who is the World's Rich Man & Biggest Gov't dependent & doesn't need the help). Only cutting the help the middle class & poor receive (who need the help)
If your gargling of Trump’s balls prior to inauguration hadn’t already made me cancel my decades-long sustainer support of NPR, the dross you’ve put out the last few weeks certainly would.
Why are you buying into Musk's framing? They aren't there to cut "waste, fraud." They're there to gut and dismantle the federal government. Stop carrying water for fascists. They're coming for you too.
They haven't though. WIRED informed us about Musk breaking into the Treasury, and their subscriptions skyrocketing (and that's just one example of an outlet with good reporting right now). We are not without power, and we should not convince ourselves we are.
Only cutting programs & services which help the middle class & poor (who need the help) not cutting the billions which Musk receives (who is the World's Rich Man & Biggest Gov't dependent & doesn't need the help)

I'm sorry you woke up from a decades long coma and had to immediately write an article without any context.

Do it like it’s your job.

Everything in it could be done within preexisting departments and agencies.
Creating USAID was a choice made by Kennedy.
Um no that is absolutely not what they seek. Do you have any journalists on staff or just transcriptionists?
