Contact your governor and state AG and since Trump is allowing is showing incompetence. Under section four of the articles of impeachment he can be removed.
Sen. Brian Schatz (D., Hawaii) will place a “blanket hold” on all of Trump’s State Department nominees until the administration’s attack on US AID, a move that threatens to stall Trump’s ability to get his foreign-policy team in place. EVERY senator should be doing this with EVERY nominee ‼️
I turned on MJ this morning to see what you would say about the coup happening and 20 minutes in nothing! There’s a reason I stopped watching in November!
Dumpster’s chaos must stop, stop illegal privacy violations by criminal interlopers. Senate must halt confirmations and subpoena Muskalini and his baby minions immediately to investigate all the video and interviews of their unlawful entry into our government and personal data. Privacy is no more!
USAID is wholly a creature of the Executive and has now been rolled into State. Why do Dems fear an audit of USAID? Not prepared to defend condoms for Hamas & the Taliban? Gay comic books for Ecuador? Trans operas for Tanzania?

Hey is this, perchance, illegal or unconstitutional for an executive branch officer to suddenly declare himself the head of a separate, CONGRESSIONALLY CREATED federal agency?
Why would anyone "follow for more updates" if you're just deliberately bad at doing journalism?
500,000 children in Africa orphans from Aids whose food Trump cut off are feeling all warm and fuzzy tonight at the news little Marco is the MAN in charge of them starving to death.
Why do you not consider it newsworthy when a U.S. Senator says we are in a constitutional crisis? What exactly is the rationale for your newspaper to exist?
I ask the question how a president alone can be shutting down entire agencies? I am sure this is very against the laws of the United States and the constitution?!
This follows Musk calling USAID "a criminal organization," saying it was time for it "to die" and slinging about other heated rhetoric. Some reps & people are on DC street to vow to challenge Musk for reaching into congressional territory and obtaining Social Sec numbers, contract info, etc.
Spinless journalism from #NYT. Covering the dismantling of our government and democracy in the United States of America like its business as usual. We won't forget and our children won't forget, NYT. Might be a great time to cancel that subscription #BoycottNYT
How long will the henchmen stay in line with the 🍊💩? At some point someone will grow a pair and say this is not right. They ALL can't be as narcissistic and vile as Trump! Can they?
This is their work around for now. Then after a few news cycles pass and the heat is off, the acting director will quietly shut it all down cause he wants to keep his shiny new job at State.
Thank god Rubio is stepping in as an adult&patriot to rein in Musk who is acting like proxy POTUS w/ gang of college bros (all woefully unqualified to govern) w/o a security clearance. Why didn’t Bessent take charge?
Just more clear evidence that Musk and Company are killing America, killing Democracy. It is past time for House and Senate Republicans to WAKE UP before it is too late, they have a choice to be complicit to the death of our democracy or saving it.
USAID stands for U.S. Agency for International Development and it looks like that for years it was used as a piggybank for Democratic causes, oftentimes for NGOs that provided well paid board positions for Democrats and friends.
