This.
Any four Republican Senators could stop this at any time simply by threatening to block all action (or even caucus with the Democrats) if Trump doesn't make certain concessions. They won't, but that should be a much bigger story than whether the Democrats are doing everything that *they* can.

Do not visit the website to see if you are in it, it’s full of trackers and looks like it’s doge derived.
There is enough burnout and long effects of trauma following years of dealing with a global pandemic, now the current administration is inflicting more pain and suffering on those who have dedicated their lives to helping others.

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran.

Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Raskin: "Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payments systems of the Treasury, but you don't control the money of the American people. The US Congress does that under Article 1 of the Constitution ... we don't have a fourth branch of government called 'Elon Musk'"

A private citizen does not have the authority to do this. The President also does not have the authority to do this.

This is unbelievably evil and completely illegal.
Elon Musk said on X early Monday he is in the process of closing USAID with Trump's blessing.

“I went over it with him in detail, and he agreed that we should shut it down,” Musk said. ... ‘Are you sure?’”

The answer was yes, he said.

“And so we’re shutting it down,” Musk said.
