They can. maga=gop=gqp. Conspiracy theory and authoritarianism, in service to insecurity, has completely deplatformed “reasonable” conservatism. Sure, there’s a one off here and there, but those folks days in the gqp are numbered.

So everything is fine now that they went back and reversed their decision? How long before these workers get tired of being dehumanized and used as pawns and say fuck you? But keep on posting, as doge has to go back and fix things they are breaking, and pretend that it is okay and things are working as they should. This entire process is instilling fear and distrust in the workforce. It’s counterproductive to their stated goals, but very productive towards their unstated objectives. They really do want to traumatize the workforce. The problem is that if their experiment fails and the best and brightest that were called to public service and the entire research and development apparatus that contributes to our country’s success is cast aside in such a reckless manner it will already be too late.

"They didn't do it perfectly," he says, but for employees who were overseeing critical functions, "they seem to be hiring them back."


“Seem to” is a low bar but he tends to be level-headed / reasonable.
 

Trump Weighs Tariffs to Counteract Foreign Taxes on Tech Firms​

Executive memo signed Friday takes aim at a major technology industry concern​



“… The memo directs the U.S. Trade Representative’s office to renew tariff investigations started during Trump’s first term on countries that impose digital services taxes, according to a fact sheet provided by the administration. Those countries include certain European Union member nations, as well as Canada, India and others.

…
Penalizing countries that tax U.S. tech firms would address a longstanding irritant for Silicon Valley, which has been targeted by a number of nations levy digital services taxes and antitrust investigations in recent years.

In 2019, Trump’s USTR initiated tariff probes into digital taxes in France, Italy, Spain, India and other nations, finding them to be discriminatory toward U.S. firms. But the Biden administration didn’t act on the matter, sparking broad outcry from the tech industry and Republicans on Capitol Hill.

With Trump back in office, the prospect of action has grown more likely. Trump has used hardball tactics to counter digital services taxes before, like when he threatened to impose tariffs on French wines and champagnes if Paris didn’t pull back on its tax. President Emmanuel Macron relented at the time, but France has since instated a digital services tax that could be targeted by Trump once again. ….”

Hey people, take a look at this. Why is Trump trying to create some bullshit disease justification? Because the law doesn't permit him to just close the border.

So everyone critical of Biden on this issue: it's like I said all along. It takes time to craft policy. You can't just sign a paper and make it happen -- unless you are willing to go with patently obvious chicanery like "the Mexicans are bringing in tuberculosis." Good for Biden for not lying disgracefully.
 
There are 2.9 cases of TB for every 100,000 Americans. The two highest incidence states? Noted migrant worker havens Alaska and Hawaii. Also our Pacific holdings have astronomically higher incidence rates. Meanwhile, Puerto Rico clocks in at 0.7 per 100K.
 
So...DOGE is so ineffective at evaluating, that they are asking Federal workers to Grade Their Own Papers!!

If there were only an office that evaluated efficiency, waste, fraud, abuse in each area of government: an Inspector General.
