Let every American, every lover of liberty, every well wisher to his posterity, swear by the blood of the Revolution, never to violate in the least particular, the laws of the country; & never to tolerate their violation by others. -Lincoln, 1838 “He who saves his country does not violate any Law.”

Interesting trends in # of fed. workers. There were cuts in Dept of Ed. and EPA under both Trump & Biden. Total # of emps grew by ~ 80k under both. Both added mostly to VA, DHS, and HHS. Trump’s new cuts look to be focused on agencies that investigated him & Musk and ones that were previously cut.

Given 47’s self-serving and opportunistic nature, I’m wondering if this “removal of gender ideology” business is just a way to push some pending contract or contracts or cancel some existing ones so that federal dollars can be directed to Trump loyalists.
