Summary

Progressive Democrats accused Donald Trump and Elon Musk of orchestrating a “constitutional crisis” after Musk moved to shut down USAID and gained access to a federal payment system.

Lawmakers, blocked from entering USAID’s headquarters, condemned Trump for granting Musk unchecked power over government functions.

Senator Elizabeth Warren warned that Musk’s involvement could trigger financial instability, while Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called it a “plutocratic coup.”

    I think it might take something more drastic to deal with the actual Nazis running the country now. They are gaining more control over people’s lives and speech every day, and they have stated their intention to keep Trump as leader for at least another term after this one, and to do away with elections. Running appealing candidates may no longer be enough to topple them.
