Cutting NASA's workforce by about 10 percent. That's a boost to the Chinese and Russians. And the guy in charge of SpaceX made this decision? That's a total conflict of interest. Moreover, firing all probationary employees shows they're not serious about evaluating programs. It's a machine gun.

One view of just one small area of the National Archives. Imagine many such caverns of cabinets containing documents and photos. Doge doesn't have to steal items for them to be lost; they only have to destroy the archive records of where & what they are.

NATIONAL ARCHIVES UNDER ASSAULT: They’re coming for our history. The US archivist & staff resigned after Trump officials pushed to replace them w/loyalists. Not just records you’d expect—slave records, immigration records, Native American treaties—all at risk. Will they rewrite or destroy history?
