Massive encroachment by Bezos into The Washington Post’s opinion section - makes clear dissenting views will not be published I still have not felt encroachment on my journalism on the news side, but if Bezos tries interfering with the news side I will be quitting immediately and letting you know

Ramaswamy: hundreds of billions of dollars can be cut from Medicaid, Social Security and Medicare through “basic program integrity measures.” Seemingly a starkly different position than Trump took in his first term

In new WSJ oped, Musk & Ramaswamy say they believe SCOTUS could open the door to unilateral spending cuts, without Congress, based on what they say is the unconstitutionality of the 1974 budget law Could be an absolutely massive fight Confirms our reporting: www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Objectively kind of hilarious imo that ~75% of the "waste" identified in this post touted by Elon Musk is interest payments on the debt Do they understand that you can't eliminate interest payments on the debt unless you *do something about the reason those interest payments exist*?
