An internal memo shows that Trump & Musk are planning to fire 80,000 employees from Veterans Affairs. Two out of touch billionaires who have never served in uniform slashing an agency that serves our nation’s veterans. This would be disastrous. Our vets deserve better.

It wild to me that DOGE would actually send “contracts” with shoddy and suspect legal language to federal career attorneys that even non-lawyers would recognize as bullshit.

I wonder how many realize Musk has a long history of firing extremely qualified people who displease him and bringing into his companies either his friends or relatives. This is a man who has no sense of efficiency whatsoever. He's a robber baron and we can keep acting surprised about it if we like.
