Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Another example of Trump/Musk website fuckery: Rural.gov has gone dark. Federal agencies used the site "to promote economic growth and opportunity in rural and distressed communities."
