BIG NEWS - president does NOT have power to kill an agency created by Congress
How do we know this?
Even the Heritage Foundation - which issued Project 2025 - said this in 2017:
"President has no statutory authority to reorganize the executive branch" unless Congress says so

He should be in prison long ago.
I don't want him to die until he is arrested.
They were created by Congress -- so the president cannot eliminate them unless majorities in both houses of Congress vote to eliminate
And the Heritage report is here:

* tRump cares about legalities?
* The Heritage Foundation won't do an about face if it serves their purposes?
We have to go forward recognizing all norms, rules and laws can be broken. And that SCOTUS or Congress will do little to stop MAGA.🤷♀️
Dems need a plan other than precedence and laws. It won’t work this time around.
See Republicans nuke filibuster in 3…2…1…
All that stands between us and wholesale wrecking of the Federal Govt is a small handful of republicans in the house and the senate that may balk at voting for that level of destruction. Don’t hold your breath though.
We will call, text, and email representatives reminding them THEY WORK FOR US.
Curious about your thoughts regarding this (Trump claiming to abolish 2 branches of govt) and the fact that the gop owns congress. Do we really believe they won’t let Trump go rogue? He will pay everyone off. LOVING your podcast!!! 💙💙💙
Last I checked, starting next year Trump controls both chambers of congress...
I do mean Trump, personally... the GOP MOC'S do not have one testicle among them.
Everyone will know they lied about Project 2025 by then.
Seems like it should take a super majority at the very least.
The House is a lost cause regarding checks + balances.
But the Senate has such a slim majority - with four sitting Senators publically opposed to Trump and who knows the others privately dissenting - that the buck may stop there.
Biden is just a coward a weak little man but
Even Harris disappeared….
The House is thin, but I can't see it, esp in his first 100 days, where Congress will give him cart blanch.
Whatever benefits them to say in the moment. 😏🎪
Once again, Democratic Leadership has failed to stop them EVEN WITH a playbook on HOW they're going to do it.
That or, Dem Leaders are complicit....like a Good Cop/Bad Cop routine.
He’ll do whatever he wants, completely unburdened.
Hearings will follow on an obscure EPA or Commerce function and Fox will rage for a week.
Oh, and would you please let President-elect Musk know asap.
It's like a whole bunch of people who didn't do the required reading are making plans.
I think it will be fun to watch.
Remember his voter fraud commission?
They ended the same way this will, imo.
That's the issue.
With Republicans having control all three branches of government, they can do anything. And they will. Because they told us they would. It's on us for not believing them
