This is a wild, WILD situation. The President is at least allowing, licensing these emails though clearly not directing them. Meanwhile parts of the uniformed military are directing civilians within DOD to ignore them. Same at State and according to Dilanian FBI. But DOJ is saying do what the ...

Musk has tweeted 57 times since decreeing that fed employees must answer an email about what they did this week, and that it will be “taken as a resignation” if they don’t reply. If you want to pretend your tweets are legally binding announcements, you probably shouldn’t also have logorrhea

This is the kind of energy that citizens are asking for from the Democrats. Not muttering about "we don't have the votes", but trying to shape the discourse. Label Musk and keep repeating until even his defenders begin by acknowledging that he's a dick.

The thing about the chaos tonight is that a lot of different parts of the government are pushing back on Musk. Very easy to imagine him having to pick between trying to fire an absurd, untenable number of people or backing down after having made a big threat and looking weak.

Rep Kevin Hern—scared to say anything against Trump. The obvious—if Zelenskyy were a dictator, Trump would love him like he loves Putin. Glad to see folks in Oklahoma calling him out. Even small town halls matter right now. Don’t let them off the hook. Keep calling, emailing, and confronting them.

With DOGE initiatives getting hung up in court, Elon Musk and Donald Trump attacked judges and flirted with defying their rulings.

What happens if the courts can't stop the Trump Administration? “Then we’ve got to take to the streets in a different way,” Anthony Romero, the executive director of the A.C.L.U., tells David Remnick. “We've got to shut down this country.”

In 2014, a Google engineer launched a petition proposing a national referendum. The first two points? 1. Retire all government employees with full pensions. 2. Transfer administrative authority to the tech industry. What a difference a decade can make!

One day on the job and I've already found something to like about Kash Patel. He basically just told Elon Musk to go fuck himself.

This will be the rationalization for Trump's inevitable public turn from "I will never cut Social Security" to "Burn Social Security to the ground."

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

On the one hand, “principal officer” is a term the Framers invented; it’s an inference from one obscure clause - yet the Roberts Court made up a bunch of law to enforce it. OTOH, it’s law now, & what the hell is Musk if not a “principal officer” of “DOGE” but no Senate confirmation, so: GTFO, Elon

The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice. The result is demagoguery and corruption.

Really appreciate the tone here (and the followup) but would appreciate it more if they were shutting the Senate down until the constitutional crisis is resolved

I really can't believe I have to write this, but the judiciary is an entirely separate, independent, unrelated branch of government. Neither the President, nor OPM, nor Elon Musk, nor any of the Musk minions, has any authority of any kind to order any of them to do anything.
