I know when you make charts it's serious. The visuals help folks like me keep up. Great work, again.

My only concern about the military chart was the ranking of the Joint Chiefs. The last I read and the ensuing photos was that there was only one general who was just made a general by Trump. Please advise

thanks, @P Andrews, for your comment! I took a look at my research on the Joint Chiefs, and I indeed did not look at their overall time in the position and qualifications of the group's leader, which doesn't meet the requirements (he hasn't held the position needed) - Dan "Raisin" Caine. I referenced you in the article and explained the error, then *corrected it in the chart* to reflect an accurate picture of their overall "low" readiness. I appreciate you calling it out! I do my best to avoid mistakes, but occasionally one slips through, which I'm grateful to you for catching.

It is I who are grateful to you for your work. It is in-depth and covers the vast Trump mess for lack of a better word. Much appreciated.

I think there was DOGE but as you said in the introduction it was to work along with Inspector General to cut the actual waste. Elon’s DOGE cost us more money. Like Bill Clinton recently said as they were interviewing him about his new fictional book with James Patterson, he got rid of the most positions in Government but he did the right way through analysis, attrition and retirement.
