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.”
The problem, IMHO, is Democrats are fractured. You think all Trump supporters like his policies on LGBTQ individuals? They still vote for him because ®. We need that level of votes, instead of staying home because they didn’t like Biden’s policy on Gaza. We need an anti-maga, something we can rally around. I’m partial to Antifa personally, we just need to make it an actual group. I’m sure the media will vilify it like they always do
I was thinking more along the lines of Biden pulling out all the stops with executive actions and eliminating the problem for good. Then bullying Congress into fixing the loopholes that allowed him to do that in the first place so it can’t happen again. But of course he’s a gutless coward who only took care of his own before he bounced.
