Raskin: "Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payments systems of the Treasury, but you don't control the money of the American people. The US Congress does that under Article 1 of the Constitution ... we don't have a fourth branch of government called 'Elon Musk'"

"No free people can lose their liberties while they are jealous of liberty. But the liberties of the freest people are in danger when they set up symbols of liberty as fetishes, worshipping the symbol instead of the principle it represents." Wendell Phillips, who died on this day in 1884

"Most Americans may be okay with Trump firing some bureaucrats and deporting some illegal aliens, but they didn’t sign up for unabashed authoritarianism. Or perhaps they did. But one thing is certain—we’ll never know unless the opposition shakes off its torpor." www.thebulwark.com/p/damn-the-d...
