We have two very different assessments of what's going on here: 1-The official story, from Treasury, that there's nothing to see here, it's just an "operational efficiency assessment" 2-The story from the IT professionals in the government, that this is a code rewrite in progress. I believe #2.

I think @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com just said, Democrats in Congress are trying to fix stupid. 😂 “Every rational thing the opposition is saying to Donald Trump and to Elon Musk is just bouncing off that solid wall of stupidity.” And we need to keep asking them—what are you going to do about it?!

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget. Really think about how twisted this all is.
