a big reason i keep a free account on there for now is this shit isn’t fringe anymore & these are the people who’ve amassed power; federal judges are sending communication to elon musk via fucking tweet. what these people do impact me & my loved ones unfortunately; yours too.
Elon Musk & X @elonmusk • 8h This is a judicial coup. We need 60 senators to impeach the judges and restore rule of the people. Charlie Kirk & € @charli... • 19h Now, a district court judge ordering the US military to continue enlisting mentally delusional transgender troops is justifying her ruling by quoting the musical Hamilton.

Yep.

Rep. Larson: “By requiring seniors and disabled Americans to enroll online or in person at the same field offices they are trying to close, rather than over the phone, Trump and Musk are trying to create chaos and inefficiencies so they can privatize the system.”

This is not good

The fact that the world’s richest man works at the behest of the executive and can buy out the legislature is massively outside the scope of what the framers could have imagined

there’s is simply no constitutional measure that can guard against something like this

Elon Musk's plan to cut the Social Security Administration's staff by 50% would cause 37,000 more Americans to die each year waiting to receive their disability benefits while the average wait time to collect these benefits would jump to 412 days.

That is beyond unacceptable.

Wow. DOGE is far more expensive than the USDS that it pretends to be.

www.propublica.org/article/doge...
Since then, the funding has ballooned; the most recent apportionment came on Feb. 8 and included a $14 million chunk described as part of a “software modernization initiative.” *In all, ProPublica found, more than $39 million has been earmarked to DOGE in the Trump administration’s first month.* For perspective, in recent years Congress had allocated around $50 million a year for the IT modernization initiative that DOGE supplanted, budget records show.

Right now in the Capitol: The Senate is about to vote on an amendment to the GOP budget bill focused on bringing down the cost of groceries. Let’s see if Republicans are as interested in cutting your grocery bills as they are in giving billionaires tax cuts.

Undermining the core function of the government was always central premise of project 2025
brendannyhan.bsky.social Brendan Nyhan @brendannyhan.bsky.social · Feb 1
This is a constitutional crisis: the President doesn't have the power to cancel funds appropriated by Congress. Also, the math is insane; there is NO way to cut $4B/day by getting rid of "fraud". Cuts of that magnitude will dangerously undermine the core functions of government.
