Is this not illegal? I really don’t care about the politics-speak. Obtain a court injunction and get it enforced, however that’s done. Or let us know that our system of government doesn’t allow such enforcement outside of impeachment and conviction. https://www.justsecurity.org/107267/can-president-dissolve-usaid-by-executive-order/

Excuse me, I have a dumb question:

How can we be sure Trump isn’t telling Musk to transfer funds out of the US Treasury to an offshore bank account for disbursement to just about anyone for whatever he pleases? Do we just have to trust him?

TIA

Diana, you are my Rep. It is sickening to see aid by US stopped.
But now...
Ultimate Power (the purse)has been handed to musk!

No longer a true statement 👇
The U.S. Congress holds the “power of the purse,” meaning the power to control government spending.

We need to stop this now!

I’m not a Colorado citizen but please keep saying this - screaming this - to the world. Supporters of American democracy are just not seeing the plain language and leadership we need to see.

Elon Musk is looting the federal treasury. What the hell are elected Dems going to do about this too Diane? Don't just tell us bad news. Tell us how you are going to fight this. We civilians have no power.

So what are you/we/us going to do about it? Can we embrace tactics favored by Republicans when Democrats held the majority? Now is not the time to play nice! They are literally throwing all legalities OUT the window, and it's time we do the same.
