This is insane. Most experts agree that our air traffic system is already stretched thin - this move by Trump & Musk will make Americans less safe. Are any Republicans in Congress going to stand up and do something? What about the Secretary of Transportation? #TrumpShitShow

Elon Musk & his data thieves want the personal IRS information of EVERY American. Trump doesn’t care. #HouseDemocrats introduced a bill to protect your data - but House Republicans choose Musk over you, refuse to stand up for hardworking American taxpayers, & will not protect your sensitive data.

No coincidence — Musk’s attack on the CFPB came as he cut a deal with Visa to go into a payment business the CFPB has been regulating to make sure people don’t get ripped off. His companies have been investigated by many agencies he is dismantling. www.levernews.com/musk-targets...

For the wailing fascists on Xitter, I screen capped the confirmation vote for Paul Engelmeyer, whose order preventing DOGE from hacking Treasury data before Feb 14 they're all attacking. Compare it with that of Matthew Kascmaryk, who has done far more to impinge on Exec authority.
