removal of Musk's goons from GSA and Treasury's payment system and appointment of an independent prosecutor that Trump can't fire to investigate what happened should be the table stakes for any Dem votes on the budget or debt ceiling. Should get more than that, but that's a bare minimum.

I suppose the task force created by this EO will start by investigating the Vice President’s statements attacking Catholic bishops, the leader of DOGE accusing Lutheran Family Services of money laundering, ICE raids on churches … so much work already on anti-Christian bias from this administration.
