     @heidilifeldman I am reading Caro's book "The Power Broker" about Robert Moses.

     It is interesting how the methods that Moses used to run-over the NY city and state governments is very similar to what the Musk-Dog-ies and Project 2025 gang are doing.

     Moses went through the motions of asking oversight bodies for permission, but he also went ahead to get construction of his projects (even without permission) to begin and progress to the point where by the time the oversight body acted it was too late to put things back the way they were.

     It is pretty clear that the Musk-o-vites are working to destroy agencies before courts (or our feckless Congress) can try to stop things.

     In our national case, we are in a humpty-dumpty situation where FFOTUS is breaking our governmental eggs so quickly and furiously that there will be no way to restore the status quo ante.
