Elon Musk is not an elected official or government employee and absolutely should not have access to government information and processes, or Americans' sensitive data. Hear me when I say this- we will not allow big tech and billionaires to control the government.

Trump's exploitation of the tragic loss of American lives to further his political agenda and evade accountability is horrifying. The families and loved ones of those who passed deserve actual answers from a transparent investigation. Not political finger pointing.

If this all seems confusing and poorly planned, that's because it is. The Trump administration doesn't care about the Americans who will be hurt. To them, that's the cost of doing business to score political points.

The Constitution is clear that Trump cannot freeze this funding passed by Congress.  This illegal scheme undermines Congress’s power of the purse and is a blatant attack on our system of checks and balances.   So much for the party of law and order.
