To the Editor,

There is a saying that first-rate leaders hire first rate people and second-rate leaders hire third rate people. After more than 40 years as a psychologist studying morality, I am stunned to see a president of the United States selecting craven and cruel people like Elon Musk, J.D. Vance, Steve Miller, and RFK Jr. (among many, many others) to tear down programs that protect and support people in order to find the three trillion dollars he needs to fund tax cuts that largely benefit the richest 1% of Americans.

My heart breaks for the men, women, and children here and around the world who will suffer and die because of the senseless cuts and authoritarian, isolationist policies. This is not my America.

Sincerely,
Elizabeth (Elly) Vozzola
