Just restating the simple point: President lacks the constitutional authority to close a department created by Congress. Full stop. Both the creation and on-going funding of these Depts are LAWS not suggestions. This is criminal conduct. www.wsj.com/politics/pol... via @WSJ

Secretary Linda McMahon would be directed to “take all necessary steps to facilitate the closure” based on “the maximum extent appropriate and permitted by law.”

Hasn’t happened yet but now is the time to let the Democratic Leaders in Senate know that giving Republicans lifeline on a spending bill without reining in Musk is unacceptable.
Similarly there better not be any Dem votes to censure Green for standing up to Trump.
