The man says, "Maybe liberals would understand what Elon is doing more if they followed the money like they were following the science." A woman with a nose ring and wearing a light blue sweatshirt appears in the bottom half of the screen. She says, "Okay, let's follow the money then." The woman appears in a new location and says, "Let's look at this Doge tweet where they claim to have saved $2.2 million by canceling a Health and Human Services contract." The woman continues to appear in new locations, and she displays screenshots of various websites and social media posts. She says: "The documents that he screenshots and posts on his website and on his Twitter account are from this." "But just in case that database is wrong, I also like to check the USA Spending website." "So here's that contract that he was talking about." "It's worth $2.2 million. But we've already outlayed $1.3 million. Meaning that we already sent and paid $1.3 million worth of this contract." "And the total obligated amount is what we are legally required to pay." "So Elon Musk changing the status of the document does nothing. He saved us no money with this." "Let's take a look at this contract that he supposedly canceled and saved us $8.2 million with."

I can add #uspol to my posts but I will NOT use a CW coz not seeing reality doesn't make it go away especially when it affects others more than you.

You can unfollow me if you are getting too stressed out. Trust me, there are people whose lives are more upended than yours.

The least you can do is read about it and hopefully, call your elected representatives...every day. Don't know what to say, here's some tips - https://5calls.org/

I must have read "I have no mouth, and I must scream" by #HarlanEllison decades ago.
It's one of the scariest things I've read in my life.
Yet I've not read much else of his writings.
