LT42 I’m really surprised there isn’t more immediate concern over Musk and a few recent grads without security clearances being granted unmonitored access to the treasury and detailed personnel info. If you were planning a soft coup, this would be a great start.
And to add to the point about USAID funding, this looks to be a setup for a court challenge. If the Supreme Court decides that the president can override spending already approved or denied by congress, which isn’t out of the realm of possibility, that’s another nail in the coffin of American democracy.
