There is already a list of career civil service workers to be fired because they refused to break the law for Trump. The Dept. of Education will be gone in a heartbeat. With RFK, Jr., in charge of healthcare, medical abortion will be gone because he will force the FDA to remove approval of the two abortion drugs, along with the morning after pill. Many women will suffer as a result, but the evangelicals will be happy.

With Musk in charge of the economy, we’ll all be hurt. What a cluster!
