That’s nothing. I found 13 contracts awarded to SpaceX since December totaling $77M. 1/
Just got a tip from a guy at the FAA. You'll never believe who is still getting new government contracts while all the contracts at the Department of Education and USAID and other agencies are being nuked from orbit.

Paul Martin, the inspector general for the USAID, has been fired after resisting the administration. Just a day ago, his office released a report warning that staff reductions and spending freezes put hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars at risk of misuse and waste. This is the way.

Americans must suffer That’s what Trump & Musk say. But who really suffers? Not billionaires, it's working families. Rep. Mike Flood (R-NE) backs policies that make life harder while the rich thrive. How much more struggle before leaders prioritize people over profits? Sound off. #EnoughIsEnough

WIC. They are pausing WIC.
That's the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children. Last time I checked (a while ago), every dollar spent on WIC produced over a dollar in savings *in the same fiscal year.* For most people, though, feeding infants and mothers is enough.
