Democrats Respond To Musk ‘Illegally Seizing Power’ Over Treasury Payment System

This may be difficult as they would need standing to be successful, so they would have to be personally impacted. For defending the prerogatives of Congress, they would generally need to have a majority in at least one House (i.e. the minority party can’t speak on behalf of the majority of Congress).

However, with how broad his (and Musk’s) illegal acts have been, there is no shortage of non-Congress members who have standing and are suing. A non-comprehensive list:

Democratic legislators should be supporting these efforts rather than trying to sue themselves.

Good afternoon! (Almost evening, actually.) I’m holding out some hope for the courts. Even our current SCOTUS, at least a majority of them, might well be offended by the idea that Trump can ignore clear legislation and defy lower courts’ injunctions and other rulings.

The intent of this is obvious, IMO.

It is to break something. Eventually, they will do so.

It may or may not be the something they intend to break.

Musk wouldn’t know how to do what his minions are doing, but he wants his name in the headlines not theirs.

Of course, revealing someone’s name isn’t “doxxing” LOL. OPM, GSA, USAID and the Treasury are not secret organizations.

i’ve been reading about the MUSK family. aparthied- south africa…very interesting…his paternal father was .is,a very evil man…its seems their hatred for the USA& Government comes for the USAID work in SA, during the time when the blacks revolted aginst the white regime there, nad the results of the 'land; redistribution there… it is very interesting and that is what MUSK is bringing toTHE USA.i do think he actually despises the USA…

Musk absolutely despises anyone else but his white buddies having a shot at anything.

Either way, it didn’t happen. Trump was looking for an off-ramp. They gave him plausible cover to take it.

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

Anything they want, hide it or mislabel it. Anything they plug in, unplug it. Remove light bulbs. Move cubicles around so they hide some of the doors and when they leave the room move them again so they hide different doors. Play really loud music. Think like a cat and sabo tabby yourself a mess

There’s even sabotage manual from the CIA

All from Bluesky

IMO. no-one could imagine a thug like trumpf gaining the WH…having said that…we must give some hard thoughts as to who is allowed american citzen ship…as soon as i read MUSK was south african, i began reading…holy shit! MUSK is alll about apartheid and the land distribution and hatred for the USA and any part the usa played in that ,it seems he blames the USAID for any problems family as a result…if you noticed, all his white boys are from SOUTH AFRICA…from what i’ve read the whites in SA were forced to redistribute parts of their vast farm lands to the blacks that they had chased off the land. i really need to read more to understand MUSK’S hatred for the USA.

Yup. Everything with this fucking piece of shit goes back to race hatred.

But the good news is Tesla should soon be wiped out. Musk has permanently pissed off the people who were buying his toy cars. Sadly that will set back green energy by about 50 years.

Me, too. The Italians accomplished so much by leaning into the German belief Italians were disorganized.
