An Elon Musk staffer misused the U.S. Marshals Service by falsely invoking their authority to intimidate. USAID security personnel were threatened with action by the federal Marshals Service.

Rep. Jim Himes sounds off on Mike Johnson removing Turner from the House Intelligence Committee.
"This place used to be considered a check and a balance on the power of the president. That's why we exist...the message just went out that if you check this president, you're fired"
Fascism in action.
