The writing was on the wall for that when we abandoned the Kurds in Iraq. The US has a track record for leaving allies behind whenever the wind changes. It's going to be a LONG time before that trust can be won back, if ever.
In the good timeline branching from this one at this moment it would pass and SpaceX's stock would TANK overnight. They would be forced to either fire Musk as CEO or Musk would have to quit USDS(not calling it DOGE anymore, gonna call it the name Congress gave it when it was originally created...
He can't be prosecuted is my understanding, so it would be up to Congress. Once he's out of office he CAN be prosecuted for anything not considered an official act, which I'm sure they can find things if they really look. The man can't help but to lie and cheat.
It won't pass, but I love this:

NOAA cuts are going to get people KILLED. Weather forecasting and alerts will be affected. Farmers rely on NWS data for irrigation and determining good times to plant crops etc.
Yea, this is just the craziest thing he's said this week(so far). Remember according to this man somehow wind turbines cause cancer and that exercise shortens your lifespan. He's also talked about invading an allied nation's territory if they won't sell it to us.
There's also protests planned in EVERY state capital tomorrow. We'll see how that goes. Hopefully it is the start of a sea change in American politics and we can excise the MAGA cult once and for all.
IF Canada became part of the US it would almost definitely be split into multiple states. As it is it would become a blue state and the Republicans can't have that, especially given their slim margins in Congress. Not that Canada would agree to merge with the US anyway.
The Democrats now have a new DNC chair. Ken Martin from Minnesota has the job now. I don't know a lot about him, but he did seem to be able to steer the DFL(the Minnesota branch of the Democratic Party) into a trifecta back in 2020.
