This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

Fed employees in agencies do not work for Musk, who is a contractor special government employee in the White House.

This is a Koch shill. The right has done their best to destroy Amtrak by defunding it over the years, all in service of the fossil fuel industry. Then their paid attack dogs cry crocodile tears about how bad it is, and demand it be privatized. Dishonest and despicable. There needs to be reckoning.
