Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story.
Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver.
This is what "merit" means to them.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

This is systemic impoundment, or the wildly unconstitutional & illegal refusal of the executive to enforce the laws requiring him to spend money as directed by Congress
We're talking constitutional bedrock here, people. The House, the closest representatives to the people, always controls the purse

Basically Trump admin is just shutting the government down—stopping major spending from foreign aid to health research, stopping agencies from communicating with the public, freezing hiring, stopping anything that looks like DEIA. It can do so much damage by just *not* doing anything.

This is a moment.
It's a powerful articulation of the problem with #cyberbarons consolidating government and economic power and the potential response -- genesis of a populist antitrust, anti-monopoly movement.
Could appeal beyond partisan divides.
