Hey Olivia! I worked for a DoD contractor on vaccine development projects over two decades ago. We had to justify everything down to the dollar, and provide the receipts, as per the Federal Acquisitions Regulations (FAR). Somehow, asking forgiveness (or flat out lying) rather than permission has become standard operating procedure (SOP) in the acquisition process for Federal agencies? Since when?

Thanks for all the info. Anyone in the trump administration thinks that they don’t have to explain anything and won’t because they know what they’re doing is either illegal or unethical. There won’t be any pushback from the media either.

Where are the DOGE boys when you need them? Over my lifetime, wasteful government spending was documented and recognized, but never at this scale. And never for such blatant self-gain.

Remember when DOGE went after waste,fraud and abuse? The eliminated the oversight, gutted programs like USAID, which saved actual lives and then all this waste was allowed. I think an investigation and accountability is due the American people!
