Genuine question: is there any authorization, anything at all, for a so-called Department of Government Efficiency? an executive order? Anything?
Is anyone working for that “department” a government employee? Or is it just a straight up private sector takeover?

No number of pardons or lies will change what happened on January 6. Donald Trump can’t change history. It was domestic terrorism, it was treason, plain and simple.
