Russell Vought is still mass-firing and defunding the federal services that protect us from scams, like the CFPB, and the services that protect our health. Children are dying of preventable disease:
Since most federal funds for public health flow to states, Vought is rivaling the Department of Health and Human Services secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., in his ability to upend government-led efforts to keep Americans healthy. In Texas, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention funds to stem a measles outbreak weren’t available until after the crisis had subsided and two children had died. A project to protect Alabamans from raw sewage and hookworm was abandoned. People with HIV have had to delay medical care as clinics scale back hours. Time-dependent surveys on HIV and maternal mortality were halted. Food banks have canceled events. Tobacco prevention programs lapsed. Initiatives to protect older adults at risk of falling have been harried.

I use IntelliJ's local-only LLM-powered Full Line Completion feature for Rust and it's fantastic. Writes all the boilerplate for me with a high degree of success
