The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

I live in MAGA country. When I talk about what Musk is doing to the federal programs he is stripping of funding and employees, I get the same response: “He’s just pausing programs to find waste. No one will lose their job or grant or subsidy.” FAFO.
