Before press came in — but while live feed was running on Bukele’s feed — Trump said to him: “home-growns are next. … You’re gonna need to build about 5 more places.”

So likely the world’s first Trillionaire Elon, who received $36 Billion in govt subsidies and contracts to generate his wealth, is telling the people who built this country what they can live without, as he giggles with his chain saw. Something ain’t right

Freeland: Our retaliation is going to be a lot more surgical than that. We are going to go after American stakeholders who matter to The White House. I have proposed a 100% tariff on all Teslas. I am calling on all the countries that are affected by this tariff to join us

Throughout its history, America has only survived because of profiles in courage. Whether it's political figures standing up for what's right, or young men laying down their lives in places like Normandy, Gettysburg, or Bunker Hill.

All true. Even were it not, one could argue that, given the authority Musk is exercising, and his lack of accountability to anyone (other than perhaps Trump), he is serving as a principal executive officer under the Appointments Clause, and is acting unlawfully unless confirmed by the Senate.
What this long and detailed NYT piece calmly calls an “extraordinary flexing of power by a private individual” is in fact a blatantly unconstitutional usurpation of Congress’s Article I powers and delegation of the President’s Article II duties.

Make no mistake, America is under attack. Our rivals are gaining strength. Russian support for Trump is paying off exactly as they had planned. This is not merely a bonus associated with their election interference. It is phase 2 of the same operation.

This is not just a coup and a Constitutional crisis. It is a national security catastrophe for the United States from which there is no assurance we will ever fully recover. Not hyperbole. If foreign enemies had landed troops on our shores it’s unlikely they would’ve done as much damage as fast.

Correct. It’s really more of a hijacking than a coup.

Musk is straight up admitting to violating the law here. DOGE has no authority to do any of this.
This comes after we have had a long line of Supreme Court cases involving conservative Christians complaining about being shut out of government programs for discriminatory reasons. Court also says it is totally off-limits to question legitimacy of someone's faith.
