It's cutting off critical supplies, stalling travel, and killing productivity all across the government.

Last month, the Trump administration placed a $1 spending limit on most government-issued credit cards that federal employees use to cover travel and work expenses. The impacts are already widely felt.

At the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, scientists aren’t able to order equipment used to repair ships and radars. At the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), laboratories are experiencing delays in ordering basic supplies. At the National Park Service, employees are canceling trips to oversee crucial maintenance work. And at the Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), employees worry that mission-critical projects could be stalled. In many cases, employees are already unable to carry out the basic functions of their job.

“The longer this disruption lasts, the more the system will break,” says a USDA official who was granted anonymity because they aren’t authorized to speak to the media about the looming crisis.

    Have a friend who works for a federal department that deals with disaster response. They have workers that travel extensively. Apparently Musk froze their company credit cards that they use for transportation, food, and hotels WHILE many of them were in the field.

    Apparently someone close enough to Musk pointed out how fucking stupid this actually was and he had to reverse it so they weren’t stranded thousands of miles from home.

    These fucktard traitors have exactly zero clue what they’re doing and their actions make them enemies of the United States of America.

      To say that they don’t have a clue is wishful thinking. They are systematically dismantling democracy, USA is on a fast track to oligarchy. There won’t be another vote if something unexpected does not happen.

      Edit. Was rather thinking about those judges and congress getting upper hand. But if they are being threatened, it lessens the odds

      They fucked the US embassy compound in Sudan, effectively shut off their power, water, and food. I’m not sure if that’s been fixed yet.
