Musk and his cronies are controlling the money that Congress already voted on and appropriated. This is an illegal act and an act of treason. They are robbing the Federal Government as well as illegally hacking into our data. Democrats need to ACT NOW.

He’s not using a scalpel. This is the Lutheran Social Services in South Dakota that runs nursing homes. It’s one of the largest employers in the state. A lot of maga are about to be unemployed.

It’s a coup. Seizing the federal payments system, federal purging law enforcement, threatening to sic armed US Marshals on civil servants guarding classified data. It’s a takeover of our country.

the other thing about these moves is that the union becomes untenable if your access to the good faith and protection of the national government is contingent on whether you renounce your co-sovereignty as a state and submit to the whims of a president who has claimed sovereign authority
And schools are just one example.

This seems to explicitly go against the first amendment, since the government is telling employees what words it can and cannot use.

I think people are really underestimating the extent to which the prestige media are fully on-board with Trump, SPECIFICALLY regarding his "war on woke" and anti-trans policies. They wanted this, they think it's vitally necessary, and they're thrilled to see it.
