This is fucking absurd. Every single Gov agency Doge approached should have locked him out!
Idiots

It's for show. All of it is for show.

Here’s his government email, initials and birth year as predictable you’d expect: [email protected]

Is the Trump Administration even being consistent in the legal arguments around DOGE?

It seems like a constantly migrating account of what DOGE is, what it's empowered to do and how it exercises power... renders everything DOGE touches illegitimate.

The obvious unconstitutional aspect of DOGE is having Elon Musk (unelected, not confirmed ambiguous if he's been appointed) repeal US law passed by Congress & signed by POTUS.

No authority yet total authority. Oxymoron. He proves just how utterly stupid he is in big ways.

This is just a shell game.
He is just saying this out loud to muddy the waters in court.

Just like pulling the ‘Memo’ because the memo was referenced in the cases before

Quite an advisory role where you demand a list of what employees did as well as fire and rehire and dig into personal info of millions. Sounds a bit more than just advising.

The problem trump, et al, are about to run into to is that they have almost run out of time. Reports on the economy start hitting tomorrow and that will take a lot of wind out of their sails.

Resistance works.

Should read, "Musk has no access to fireworks". Fire workers is does.

so everyone BACK TO WORK AGAIN, right?

When are we supposed to believe anything that ever comes out of this clown’s mouth?

mrchompchomp.bsky.social•47 days ago

Did Trump notice JUST NOW that DOGE was overstepping its authority? Did he miss the media? All the court cases? Did he not remember elevating Amy Gleason as administrator?

A vaguely competent media would probe to find out if this is a scam or mind-blowing incompetence. It HAS to be one or the other

some awful lawyer got to trump, likely one of elons

Curious how much all these cases that reverse these asinine actions are costing the American people and whether we can somehow recover the costs from the vandals.

Look, we already know there are at least 2 #RussianAssets leading the #FederalGovernment the best way to assure they have #NoPower over #Anyone is if the remaining #FederalWorkforce went on #Strike until #Congress did THEIR JOBS to #Impeach and #Convict bypassing #Corrupt #SCOTUS
