I mean, I just I think that the ignoring the law part is the problem for me that the national security threat question is a little bit, I think, hard to to kind of draw any conclusions about. But the flouting of the law is is obviously a problem and sets yet another terrible precedent. And I think that Trump is dead wrong about it.

Caitlin Flanagan had a really, I thought, very smart tweet about watching some of the world's richest men surrounding the president at the inauguration left her feeling, I think, I forget the word she used, but kind of queasy and reminded her of just how much or how deeply sort of money is embedded in national politics. And I think she's absolutely right to feel that way.

At the same time, I think what's going on is that The Trump administration is clearly, you know, along with the likes of Elon Musk, you know, supports the idea of growing, growth, of building, of innovating. And so much of the sort of deeper conversation about what's going on with the administration is pushing back against decades of sort of.

kind of war on growth, war on innovation and war on, in a bigger sense of like kind of imagination. And I think that's very commendable. So there's this kind of conflict of sorts, right? There's, we don't like seeing, you know, people like Zuckerberg or Musk wedded to the president. It makes us feel very uneasy. It doesn't feel like that's what a republic is supposed to be.
