it occurs to me that the one agency i wouldn't mind DOGE tearing through would be the #ATF, but thanks to #NRA lobbyists and republican pandering they're still on microfiche last i heard. the republicans blocked #NIH funding into gun violence for decades. there's probably mountains of crimes in the ATF records room and nobody cares enough to start scanning film because they're told not to.
