Just a reminder that what he's talking about is the private information about every American and business, and there are laws against this access. "Transform the way the government works" by doing what? Targeting opponents? Microtargeting political ads so Republicans never lose?
Johnson: "Elon's cracked the code. He's now inside these agencies. He's created these algorithms that are constantly crawling through the data & as he told me in his office, data doesn't lie. We're gonna be able to get the information. We're gonna be able to transform the way federal govt works."

This. Especially Senate Republicans.
The greatest political scandal today is not what Trump is doing. It is the fact that congressional Republicans have given up their role in the constitutional system as a check on the executive branch. If we are in a constitutional crisis, it is as much on Mike Johnson and John Thune as anyone else.

It's time to stop pretending DOGE is about efficiency and trimming expenses. The difference between a haircut and a visit to the guillotine matters, and this is all going to be very expensive for all of us (if not for them). Notably gutting CFPB. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...
