There are reports and evidence of lawlessness and illegal orders and broken laws but nobody is enforcing them and it appears no means or body can stop it seems acts they perform become legal only for as long as it takes to carry out get over it unless anyone has a suggestion?

There is no enforcement mechanism for our laws. The king can do as he please without worry of law or even financial cost. Legislature ignored. Judicial ignored.

Well heist on treasury has pulled a reverse card on congress checks and balances. Anyway

Why didn’t they resume when the first court order came down?

The checks are issued by the Dept of Treasury ( like all government checks). Even if NIH says to send the checks they can be blocked at the Treasury. So far no checks have actually gone out.

Agreed

Goddess forbid that someone say the quiet part out loud - President ManBaby might get his knickers in a twist...

The person who did that left their role today. Apparently not fired.

They should then refuse to leave their position.

Elon Musk in charge of government efficiency? Sure, let’s scrap the IRS via X-post, make Congress a subscription service, and let an AI chatbot decide Supreme Court cases.

Thankfully the Constitution prevents this.

On one hand, I want to say everyone should walk out of their jobs. Not realistic, but those who can, should. The other hand, I worry about our national security. We're primed for an attack. God Forbid.

He'll be fired within 24 hours

This isn't confirmed but people who signed the letter last night, saying to start paying grants, per the judge and against the administration, have reportedly just put in their resignations, effective immediately.

Illegally fired, and after court case reinstated with fines

engineersthoughts.bsky.social•12 days ago

They will be fired and so will anyone who goes against the king. It's over people. The constitution assumed we would not elect a crook. We did. There is no enforcement mechanism for any laws now. The king can do as he pleases with all parts of gov. Judicial & legislative branch ignored now.
