This article is a tough read, but should be required reading for everyone. I can’t imagine how difficult it was for the interviewers on the project to record so much horror. And to think that these transcripts were hidden until the 1990s. #history

Vulture Capitalism — a most apt term.
"They haven’t found a single dollar of fraud. And the waste and abuse they’ve been clamoring about has turned out just to be government agencies, programs, and spending that Trump, Musk, and Republicans simply don’t like."
Vulture Capitalism Comes for Democracy
The playbook Trump and Musk are following to dismantle government resembles the one used to pick apart America’s newspapers.
