And then kind of this response of, like, agency you know, like, agencies are gonna kind of do what they need to do.

And so I and I know that you can't tell us too far into the future, but I'm just trying to, like, put us at ease about kind of what is transcribed in the action plan, this this current administration and everything we're hearing about this administration, and how the agency stands apart and can put us said ease about about accountability.
