Alaska has the fourth-highest number of federal workers per capita—fish & game, forestry, and more—their jobs are being cut under the excuse of “poor performance.” Lisa Murkowski knows that’s a lie—so why won’t she just say, it’s a lie. Collins, Burchett, and the rest are just giving lip service.

There's this, there has been reporting that they got numbers wrong & massively overstated, by tens of billions, the amount of the fraud. But Trump & Musk are claiming that the federal gov't is incompetent? That it is full of fraud & waste? Give me the fed'l bureaucracy any day over these buffoons.
