It's too soon to tell how serious President Trump is in defiance of the Constitution. In his first 28 days, he signed an order to nullify birthright citizenship for some—a right guaranteed by the 14th Amendment. And he has closed agencies and frozen spending that Congress mandated by law. Lower courts are holding up many of the president's priorities, but nothing has risen to the Supreme Court where these battles over presidential power could rewrite history. Presidents often push limits — FDR's New Deal for example — and voters in this last election wanted change. But the scope and speed of Trump's reach for power may be unprecedented. One example is a 63-year-old agency created by Congress, codified in law and eviscerated, by Trump, in a matter of days.
Kristina Drye: People are really scared. I think that, you know, 12 days ago, people knew where their next paycheck was coming from. They knew how they were gonna pay for their kids' daycare, their medical bills. And then, all gone overnight.
'All gone, overnight,' for Kristina Drye and Adam Dubard — fired this month in the chaotic shutdown of foreign aid distributed by the U.S. Agency for International Development, USAID. More than 8,000 USAID employees were sent home by the administration.
Adam Dubard: They're not looking for competency. They're not looking for-- if you are good at your job. They're looking for pure loyalty tests and if you don't give it, you will be punished.

Democrats rallied outside Baltimore’s SS Admin office
demanding Musk keep his hands off of Social Security.
Musk: “We discovered that more than $100 billion of entitlements annually go to individuals with no Social Security Number or even a temporary ID number. ...... at least half of these payments are fraudulent.”
“You’d think that elected Democrats would want to know
who is stealing benefits meant for their constituents.”
Once again, Coons is projecting. That’s just what democrats would do in the same situation since their objective is power and wealth and not the good of the country.
Lol.
What’s the problem? China does that on a regular basis.
I think Chris Coons let Joe Biden grab, hold, sniff and whisper secrets to his 13 yr old daughter while he stood there smiling
Change my mind
Wait-—WHAT?
.
Just watched a Brilliant young lady
working to uncover corruption using
AI. “DATA REPUBLICAN” seemed legit.
She named Linsey Graham a player
and others.
What’s Your Take on these Wiz Kids?
.
(I hate computer)
‘Stone Him Heretic!’
.
Ha see
not so bad.
If only DOGE had resurrected and hired Craig Livingston to copy, copy, copy in the basements of the White House / DOGE / DOD / Treasury / IRS / AND, of course, the F B I. Craig Livingston copying all this would make it “okay” with the democRATS, and especially, the Clintons.
From what I understand Musk is using homebrew private AI software that HE developed to do these audits. Do we have any clue what vulnerabilities Musk has given himself in this? There have been absolutely no verbal or written guarantees that his software is indeed secure, stays confined within the government system, and none of that data is sent outside the government system period.
This should have been set in stone right up front. I don’t care how good of a job they are doing this should have been a prerequisite from the get go. NO ONE has a right to copy all that data off to private servers and we really do not know if he is or not. It needs to be made very clear that he will not and is not... We need to know there will be no gates left open...
Good Points All.

I just visited the Web site of
DATAREPUBLICAN.com perhaps your
Answers can be found there.
Elon seems to endorse their work and
they prefer ‘X’to exchange ideas.
.
Do you ‘twitter’?
Coons isn’t projecting,-he’s smokescreening . He knows full well Trump is using the same methods and organization Obama set up during his term to do the same thing. Trump apparently hired some smarter people who actually want to find waste.
Coons is simply parroting the Democrat talking points like the lapdog he is.
Already did the domain background on datarepublican my old friend. It is Musk trying to pass it off as a third party site.
His recommendation- “Worth following @DataRepublican.” - Elon Musk is BS...
It belongs to him too. Traced it to his own hosting in South Africa...
Which adds a level of mistrust that he would try to fool folks with misrepresentation that way...
He has done a LOT of that the last few years... People forget far too fast.
Hey, nitwit. They were hired by the President. Are you some sort of insurrectionist???
How many people in the Executive branch are elected?
President
Vice President.
Can’t name anyone else.
They are from the executive Branch Chris, so just what business is it of your huh?
The problem with his statement is in the first 2-words - “I think ...” clearly a task far beyond his capabilities.
Reams of data.
Well, a ream is 500 pages.
So some reams = really very, very little data.
Well that is interesting..
A way to get info Out There?
I don’t Do computers well.

This Trump-Musk Battle is
Unprecedented and dangerous.

I’m watching for Hillary and Slick
in an Orange Jump suit!
I Can Dream.
I think Anthony Fauci is an unelected sadistic tyrant inserting his insanity into the lives of all Americans.
