Extraordinary story the Wall Street Journal. X is threatening advertisers that if they don’t spend more, Elon Musk will use his influence in government to block company mergers. That’s extortion.

Reporters: If the constitution says the president doesn’t have the power to change laws, budgets, or agencies by EO then it’s not “unclear” if Trump can do what he’s saying he’s going to. It’s clear that he’s trying to violate the law.

He's not a "kid." He's an adult, with an important govt job. The posts weren't "stupid." They were hatefully racist. His life isn't "ruined." He lost a job. Holding a govt employee accountable is not a "reward" for a journalist. The reporter doesn't get a cookie.

Dang: "WIRED reporting shows, however, that at the time these statements were made, a DOGE operative did in fact have write access...at least one note was added to Treasury records indicating that he no longer had write access before senior IT staff stated it was actually rescinded."

Reporters: Trump saying the US will take over Gaza is not a “plan” or a a “proposal”. That’s why he hadn’t discussed it with anyone prior to saying it, and no one knows how it could possibly work. He just makes stuff up as he goes. Stop reporting on him as if he operates like a reasonable leader.

And ... that's actually the right framing? This isn't about making government "more efficient" or more productive; it is "anti-government" at its core. Musk called federal workers "the opposition," which says it all. He's a threat to our government, which is to say, he's a threat to all of us.

Reporters: I don’t want to hear what Musk or Trump said about whether their actions are legal. They are documented liars. The answer from legal experts is NO. The law clearly shows that they do NOT have the legal authority to stop congressionally authorized payments or independent agencies.

One of my party facts is that according to polls, Americans believe foreign aid is about 25% of the federal budget and on average that it should be about 10%. The actual number is less than 1%. Foreign aid has long been a boogey man of the right, so it's not surprising they're vilifying it now.

This is why you don’t surrender in advance. The flagrantly illegal can be stopped. It sucks that it’s falling to ordinary workers, not, say, the police, or Chuck Schumer with an NBC camera crew manning the line. You know, the ppl whose job this actually is. But they can be stopped.
