[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes and their version of what they think is essential is rather interesting. For instance they are demanding agencies cut contracts with legal research engines. There is simply no way to perform current legal research or write briefs or appear in court without them. But DOGE thinks they are “media” as in the news media (versus periodicals, publications, research engines) so they want them canceled.

Good luck to DOJ defending against all these lawsuits if they can’t perform research on Lexis or Westlaw. [/quote]

What I understand from friends at USAiD is that they looked at the 8000+ workers and contractors for about an hour, decided that most of the work that was mandated/funded by Congress was not essential and then decided only 300 employees were essential to continue with the parts of usaid doge decided were essential.  And then patted themselves on the back for having cut 7300 employees-and become more efficient.  But what they want to have remain of USAID bears no resemblance to what currently exists…[/quote]

The difference is the republicans in congress don’t care about USAID.  They care about a lot about DoD.  The reaction is going to very different.[/quote]
