Convenient that Musk's so-called Department of Government Efficiency is already out with a roadmap for gutting NASA - to the immediate benefit of Musk's SpaceX.

In the meantime, law and money:

'A problem for all of these Cabinet positions' as Trump team ignores demands: analyst https://t.co/Hu09acBlfi

I think it's very worrisome for two primary reasons," Brown replied. "If the agreements aren't signed that means the key information that the incoming administration needs about the major threats, challenges facing our country are not going to be shared in the same way as if the agreements were signed." 

"That's a problem for all of these Cabinet positions and all of the sub -Cabinet roles to be ready for day one," he warned. "They need information and that's contingent to partner with federal agencies, and the agreements have to be signed to do that." 

"The second concern is that if the agreements aren't signed, we'll never know who's funding this transition," he added. "Those agreements establish caps on the amount of money that can be donated to the transition team as well as requiring public disclosure of who those donors are. If we don't see  those agreements signed, we'll never know that information and I think many people would worry about that."

"Follow the money” is one of the lessons of Watergate. But “get the information” is a matter of law. A “national security issue,” IOW. I mentioned that Elmo is going to find the restrictions of running a real advisory committee come January 20, 2025, more trouble than he wants (boys just wanna have fun). But Trump’s Cabinet of misfit boys won’t even be able to function. Trump will take his hand off the Bible (if it doesn’t scorch him) and order 10 million people deported and…absolutely nothing will happen, because he screwed the transition.

Despite the hysteria, it’s still a government of laws, not of men.  Trump should have learned that in 2020. But, as I’ve said, Trump never learned anything.

FAFO.
