Obviously she was going to do an amazing set with the incredible material this administration has given her. What sycophant will they replace her with? I will respect reporters who boycott, but I doubt there will be many.

So deeply stupid.

GROOOSSSSS

None of it has anything to do with saving $ (CFPB & IRS make money) or efficiency -- just gutting of the government for its own sake. And the country as well, as a result. Many levels of grief.

Judiciary doesn't count?

More importantly, judges have authority over the administration! Chief Justice Roberts in Loper Bright: "Congress expects courts to do their ordinary job of interpreting statutes, with due respect for the views of the Executive Branch." If they disagree, amend the statute!

Federal employees bend over backwards to accommodate the White House -- that's what we are supposed to do. For people who actually say "no" there are real consequences. Will there be any support system for anyone who does so?

Is there any backup for federal employees who don't obey? We are the ones who will be fired with material consequences to our families.

Also calls into question the rule of law itself -- appropriations bills are LAWS. The money is supposed to be spent as Congress indicates!

Almost like a huge amount (majority?) of USAID's funding goes to farm states to purchase supplies from US farmers!
