For civil discussion of US politics. Be excellent to each other.

Rule 1: Posts have the following requirements:
▪️ Post articles about the US only

▪️ Title must match the article headline

▪️ Recent (Past 30 Days)

▪️ No Screenshots/links to other social media sites or link shorteners

Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. One or two small paragraphs are okay.

Rule 3: Articles based on opinion (unless clearly marked and from a serious publication-No Fox News or equal), misinformation or propaganda will be removed.

Musk’s clout and his role as DOGE co-chair are even more significant given the billions of dollars in federal contracts held by his various companies and the array of federal agencies that regulate those companies. Americans are entitled to know about his communications and activities with the federal government before he and Trump go about overhauling it. That’s why our organization, the State Democracy Defenders Fund, has begun our inquiry into DOGE by filing Freedom of Information Act requests across the federal government.

It’s a way to strip working class protections and rights in the name of efficiency.

Things like protection from your credit card company. Credit cards can function great if you don’t treat them like money. This would not be the case if President Musk makes his cuts.

They hint at McKinley and McKinley was horrible for working class.

Demand and inquire all you want, they're not going to do shit unless they are forced to. Who can force them to, and how? Certainly not the DoJ. Certainly not Congress. Certainly not SCOTUS.

There are no legal levers left to pull. That means it must necessarily come to extralegal levers.

That man is on some weird drugs. I would love to know what regime has been cooked up for him.
