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 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.
