We are preparing to release a detailed breakdown of Musk staffers’ incomes by employee.
Musk’s justification is that “the software engineers at DOGE could be earning millions of dollars a year” but are instead earning a small fraction of that as federal employees.

Doesn’t matter, Marshalls escorted them in by force. Laws written by congress no longer apply. It is now a monarchy.

I truly hope that we turn this around and all of the people who participated in this are prosecuted. I hope those who don't go to jail are shunned. There's no forgiveness for those intentionally trying to burn the house down.

And their faces look like they're figuring that out. My concern is what foreign adversaries might gain from them in the future when no decent place will hire them.

The government made an argument in the 70s that there was inherent power under Article 2 to appoint actings outside the Vacancies Act. District court thought it was nuts.

5/ I've done a bit more poking around because I'm certainly not an expert on the US Marshals and I feel on stronger ground saying this is not what the marshals are authorized to do. Their primary role is protecting the judiciary and enforcing its orders.

3/ if the foundation were resisting a court order that would be different. but they weren't. to the best of my knowledge no court has spoken to this at all. the Fdn sued yesterday to stop what DOGE and Pete Marocco, the purported appointee are trying to do here. But I don't think the court ...

2/ the us marshals are part of the justice dept. but their job is essentially to guard the judicary and act as a force agent for the judiciary. complicated but just trying to note the somewhat sui generis role in the two branches. but the us marshals aren't like a police force the for white house.
