That's what people don't understand. Most of these things have been voted for. If you don't like it, fine, come up with a better bill, and we'll have a vote. Just because you didn't know about it, doesn't make it fraud
I think Warren means “ only Congress can legally shut this agency down” tRump does not care about the law, he breaks it all the time and nobody does anything so he will keep doing it.
My point; they can shut down whatever they want until someone physically stops them. They already have and will continue to shut down things they can't. They are in that system now, most likely transferring all of that data to an outside server and shutring it down while she's talking.
They shut the programs down. I saw ppl saying their Febuary SSA checks were several hundred $ short. The agency where I live that helps the poor and runs headstart programs are requesting public donations because funds stopped. Agencies didn't get funds and supplies. 20yos have my bank& medical info
Yet they shut it down?
What is the recourse?
We say they can't do this ..they can't do that - while they did this and that.

Senator Warren may be right from a legal sense however.
If the 119th congress will NOT stand up to the White House BULLY & PUSH BACK on him, he & his partner MUSK are going to continue to SHUT IT ALL DOWN until there's nothing left.
She said it was going to be the courts. Who the hell is going to enforce what the courts rule. Do you think Dump’s “justice” department will do anything? She delusional.
If half a dozen Republican senators and representatives grew a pair we could shut down the government and throw Donald and Elon into fucking jail. Only six from each house need to do this.
What congress? The one with just as corrupt politicians, with a few honourable exceptions? The US democracy is dead and have been dead for years. The rulers are big corps and billionaires, not "we the people"... It is clear for everyone too see, but so many is blind...
Once all cabinet heads are filled and the budget is approved, those secretaries will defund positions one'sies and two'sies at a time until all the positions are eliminated. There'll be nothing but a hollow building and Congress can't do a thing about that. Each agency justifies # of personnel.
It doesn’t matter. Trump does what he damn well pleases and it’s TFS to the rest of it. The only difference now is that when consumers are the victims of oligarchs gone wild, there’s no protection for us. But those oligarchs—we won’t be able to touch them.
Fascist do not care.
Rules are not for them.
Laws are there to be ignored by them.
The minute they have the physical power, i.e enough police, (para)military on their side to provide back up and brute force to ram through their decisions, they will. With glee.
It looks like Trump has disregarded that memo. And this isn’t going to change. You have an unrestrained criminal in charge and he doesn’t care what the laws say. He is doing whatever he wants to do. Trump is a lawless president who thinks he is a king.
Ok ok ok. Seriously I keep hearing how everything is illegal,so why is it continuing? WHY is no one upholding the law and putting a stop to it? #ActionNotWords
Elon & his merry band of digital brownshirts. Yes, DIGITAL BROWNSHIRTS! That's what is happening here, a deliberate attempt to destabilize our government so Trump can declare martial law. Fight back! Start with "EGGS FOR ELON." If you see him or his brownshirts, introduce them to an overpriced egg.
But Trump ignores all authority, including the courts and Congress and the House of Representatives and does anything he wants and usually it’s based upon what corporations want.

Elon,Trump,+ the chaos makers from Supreme Court justice,Trump Appellate jdg's,gQp,all offices of public trust,these corrupt officials have hidden in plain sight
LOCK'EM ALL UP
Musk's taking our govt into his own hands of places investigating him,+ he needs to be locked up for deaths he caused 🚫🤥💩🤡s
thats in theory, the reality is that they did. all bets are off this these crazy mean loons and until semi sane people realize that they dont go by the rules this will get worse and worse
USAID has been funding regime change color revolutions the world over. They’ve constantly thwarted the democratic will of the people of any country that doesn’t bow down to the US. It’s not doing what it claim to be. It needs to go.
Sorry, very sorry, but that insistence that we’re living in a country of the rule of law is just so sad. We are now living in a country where he that controls the guns makes the rules. It’s already here. It’s done.
Yes. The coup is mostly complete. Now he needs to pick a fight with somebody, anybody, to declare martial law and dipense with the illusion of a democratic republic. The question is, now what?
You know you’ll have to go out in the streets and fight this? It’s done, and trump is already bypassing and ignoring laws and courts and judges. Process is not a word he understands
Republicans are co-conspirators with the felon President! They must be treated as co-conspirators when we end this atrocity! THEY should be leading an impeachment hearing but instead they’re silent which is acceptance!
The problem is that Musk can buy his way around any restriction or regulation that hinders his takeover of the country's institutions. The lack of urgency in the responses is terrifying
Trump thinks he has immunity from everything
Musk said trump wanted his money so much he was begging on his knees and Musk knew he could have anything he wanted
So trump gave him the country
Will Robert's court stand up and explain the balance of power that makes us great
or will they fold
So @warren.senate.gov how does Congress turn the lights back on? There’s a work stoppage. Who has the power to bring the agency back online from an illegal shutdown?
I think the democrats have to work a little bit harder to stay relevant. Unless there are consequences, Trump/Musk will do whatever the want. And so far the only consequence is that Trump's approval ratings is the highest ever.
It confirmed what I wrote, his highest approval rating ever.Not great compared to other presidents but better than last term and he did get reelected.It's hard to accept but a very big part of America like Trump and the stuff he does. Understanding why beyond "they are just bad people" is important.
Yep, I was glad I looked it up & you were right - as per his candidacy, he’s more popular than before which isn’t v popular. Agree figuring out the nuance is…challenging but important.
Right and the criminals stealing our data need to be arrested. Unfortunately the GOP not only owns the SCOTUS but they own the corrupt AG, DOJ so it will take some serious love for the country to arrest these hackers. AMD perhaps Elon can go back to South Africa as the GOP will deport citizens
But not if they DON’T ACTUALLY DO ANYTHING, which is their choice of direction, right now. We need real leadership who will send out a call to action that the rest of us can follow. I don’t think that Congress is the group to give that call. I think it needs to be we, the people.
Every agency is compromised at this point, up to the military. So really, what are we supposed to do? Bc showing up to the capitol to get slaughtered by national guardsmen does not sound very productive
why is this discussion about legalities going on?
trump doesn't give a shit about laws or the constitution.
When will dems learn the old ways are not effective?
After their party doesn't exist and america falls to a dictator?
The problem is Congress is not doing anything. Who is going to enforce the judges orders? Instead of contempt, lose licenses for not following the constitution and the oath.
notice the people holl'rn are the ones on the take and possibly commiting fraud on US Taxpayers. What's wrong with exposing the spending, fraud, and waste?
What exactly do you propose Senator Warren do?
Please, enlighten us as to what legal means a US Senator in the minority has to directly counteract the illegal acts of the felonious president.
How long do you think it is going to take until GOP House & Senate members realize, with all of their powers being removed they too will be "redundant". There is no need for Congress if the Executive Branch doesn't have to review anything with them, like firing all of the IGS, shutting agencies...
Yes! This is what I keep saying. I don’t know why even the Republican senators, they’re so simple thinking that he’s gonna keep them and protect them. Idiots this is their only opportunity to stop them.
Big words. Unfortunately, Donald Trump and his cronies could give a s*** about words. Until action is done, they're just going to keep doing what they're doing. They won't stop until they are punished. Democratic lawmakers aren't up for the task. They've proven that.
You can repeat that as many times as you like, but it won't make any difference. He will do what he wants with total immunity. This is a hopeless cause.
THEY DON’T CARE ABOUT LAWS. What part of that is she not getting? We will have to take the law into our own hands. To start, a one week general strike. No one goes to work except for life saving services. There will be some pain but the message will be clear.

Our legislative branch has gone into hiding.
Remember people!
One day they will go in and nothing will work. They will have no access and will not be able to do anything.

There is No transparency! No one knows what they are doing.
Mump talks about how much incompetance there is in the government while he is probably the most incompetant leader in the world
They're schutting it down and the police is helping them.
Only problem is that no one is stopping them now.
Law enforcement is setting on their ass.

“Security wouldn’t let us in.”
That’s NOT a thing ANY Congressperson or Senator should EVER say.

No, I won't calm down.

I found it hard to understand why the court would give away their power to trump, but they did
Stating a fact loudly does not change the reality of the situation.

We KNOW they can’t do any of this.
They ARE DOING ALL OF IT.
Other than court cases, what are our next steps? Who is leading the charge?
Every agency is compromised at this point, up to the military. So really, what are we supposed to do? Bc showing up to the capitol to get slaughtered by national guardsmen does not sound very productive
Unless democrats get their power, nothing will shutdown
of the Democratic Party, and all of its members.
Not a single one of these useless cowards stood up
to demand Merrick Garland's resignation.
The signs were all there.
that bordered upon Malfeasance.
There was enough evidence against Trump
on J7 to march him straight up the stairs of
a gallows.
He should be in his second year of incarceration
in GITMO, not residing at 1600.
A military tribunal would have executed him.
trump doesn't give a shit about laws or the constitution.

And so will SCOTUS.
We have a monarchy in America because Trump owns all three branches of government.
Please, enlighten us as to what legal means a US Senator in the minority has to directly counteract the illegal acts of the felonious president.
She can resist every Republican bill, nomination, or whatever put before her.
And she damn well can pull some strings behind the curtain!
She can (and has) vote against Trump nominees.
As for pulling some strings “behind the curtain”, she (& others) are most certainly doing so, but it’s not going to be public.
The Cyber Thief can’t shut them down and neither can Trump, by law.
It’s up to those #Congress #Republicans to stand up and do their job, on behalf of all of us.
@warren.senate.gov
Yay! Good to have you both on Bluesky!
MAGA voted him in;the fix is in.
I like it
