Vought’s been fucking with a lot of agencies, even those not subject to his particular ire, by slow walking apportionments. My agency’s last one was nearly a month late. Vought, other political leadership, and the embedded DOGE goons have successfully thrown so much sand in the gears over the last year by restricting our access to appropriated funds in so many ways, big and small. And no one outside the civil service seems to have any clue at all. Thank you for continuing to beat this drum.
One can only hope that crimes like these will be a top priority for an incoming democratic majority in 2026, but that might be too late for those affected by the crooked dealings of Vought.
Anyone who has not yet read "The Fifth Risk" by Michael Lewis needs to order it now. The "bureaucracy", though it may not be perfect, has been directly making America great for decades. The book is both a cautionary tale on the war against science as well as an inspirational look at what ordinary American bureaucrats do behind the scenes: not looking for recognition or plaudits, just making our country a better place to live.
