"chooses"

President Musk must be in charge now.

When I go to the NTSB's media relations page, there is one reference to the NTSB Twitter account. It is listed as the way to get the latest updates on investigations. No email mailing list is provided:

https://www.ntsb.gov/news/Pages/media_resources.aspx

I get this:

The NTSB’s Media Relations division may be reached at [email protected] — but first check Twitter @ntsb_newsroom​ for the latest updates and information on media briefings and crash investigations.​​

The thing is, looking at the Wayback Machine, that text seems to have also been the same pre-Trump:

The NTSB’s Media Relations division may be reached at [email protected] — but first check Twitter @ntsb_newsroom​ for the latest updates and information on media briefings and crash investigations.​​

It's not entirely clear to me, including reading the submitted article's text, what the policy change was. The article seems to imply that there was some sort of mailing list prior to this point -- unless they're only referencing contacting a human at the listed email address -- but if that was the case, I don't see it listed.

Enshittifying the US government.

Cutting funds was all part of Elon Musks plan to make X more used

I like how they say “chooses”, like president Musk gave them the option.

Guess I'll never read them
