Not a top reason why it's all collapsing, but the MPA (an advanced degree in governance) not being treated as prestigiously as the MBA, MD or JD has created one more exploitable gap for the right to destroy government.

This is not just a musing from a dude with some various ideas. The next step is to hollow out the judiciary and also not follow their rulings, which have been against Musk’s efforts. This is a very obvious coup, for those not paying attention.

The game has changed, friends. They're about to start ignoring judicial rulings. Democratic leaders need to wake up or transfer their positions and authority to those who understand how to operate in this extremely heretofore un-American type of political reality.

So tired of hearing this. Threaten these motherfuckers back. Show up to work with armed private security like officials do in other countries.
Just because that's not "you" and you're not comfortable with such drastic measures, it doesn't mean they're not necessary.

Jeffries: The constitution requires the president has the responsibility to take care that the laws are faithfully executed. Spending agreements passed through the appropriations process are law. When those laws are violated, the constitution has been violated.

You'll work together on legislation? It's already illegal! Do you have any idea what he's even in there doing? Please, sir, let someone else do this job.
If the Treasury Secretary does not remove DOGE’s access to the Treasury payment systems at once:
Congress must immediately act.
That is why Rep. Jeffries and I will work together on legislation to stop unlawful meddling in the Treasury Department’s payment systems.
