Dems should propose a law that immediately requires every fed agency to post on @bsky.app account, every outlay with a detailed description, $, and a link to existing gov sites with in depth details Rather than trying to keep Elon out, pre-empt him so he cant miss characterize spending.

A top government official backing punitive measures against a foreign country he’s simultaneously negotiating a business deal with is a major conflict of interest. But for Elon Musk, who, with a net worth of $400 billion brings to Washington the wealth of a nation-state, it's only one of many.

One reason why Congress needs to secure the power of the purse is, if they don't, Musk and Trump will extort states during elections. They will simply say, vote for us and get your funding. A vote for Dems means we turn off the funds.

1/ ❗Really chilling. Thanks to Sen. Mark Warner, for releasing Memo from acting deputy attorney general Emil Bove to FBI leadership ordering the purge. -Memo is a clear abuse of power and weaponization of DOJ -Memo bolsters FBI lawsuits filed today. VERY clear the list is for retaliatory purposes
