The word for this is "coup."
Musk's new department, which just seized control over payments as broad as USAID, defense, and social security, is presently livetweeting screenshots as they gleefully stop payments related to DEI, accessibility, and immigration. The account claims $1B in payments have already been cut off.

The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with us—we are fighting to defend this country!

First stack is books by Black authors I loved and the second are the ones I’m getting to.

USAID.gov is down. Why is this concerning? Trump has no legal authority to eliminate a congressionally funded independent agency. The work of USAID is vital, and if this can happen to them, it can happen to any of us.
