## Resource

The first month of President Trump's second term has brought a bureaucratic shake up in collaboration with Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Long-held fears over the fate of agencies like the Department of Education, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and the National Weather Service come to life as they face severe cuts or total abolition. Further shakes up in foreign policy call into question geopolitical commitments such as Ukraine and Taiwan. For early ad-free access support the program on ⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon ⁠⁠
