Things have gotten slightly quieter in the last week. DOGE did come to my agency but it seemed they only wanted financial info.

With some of the temporary restraining orders, things have slowed, but I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop.

I am almost 100% certain we're headed for a shutdown and I worry what Musk might try to do if he can start blabbering on about "essential" vs. "non-essential."

What people don't realize is that yeah, non-essential might be ok to go without for a while, but eventually you'll see the effects of no highway construction contracts, no tax return processing, no meat inspection, no labor investigations, and no FOIA requests for transparency into WTF is happening. It takes a while for these things to hit the general public, but when they do, then they'll really learn what it is to live in a s-hole country.
