Summary
Elon Musk announced that he and Trump are shutting down USAID, bypassing Congress’s authority over federal spending.
Musk claimed Trump fully supports the move, though Trump has only criticized USAID without explicitly confirming its closure.
The White House has not commented. The administration has already placed USAID officials on leave and reviewed its funding.
Critics argue the move violates federal law, setting up a potential legal battle.
Seems somehow…. I don’t know, illegal? to have non-elected officials making decisions to shut down government agencies?
If only there were another part of our government designed to somehow… maybe, keep things like this from happening?
Not necessarily but almost certainly in this case. Congress created USAID. Only Congress can shut it down.
Hahahaha so long people like you had this argument when asked why they think Trump wouldn’t become a dictator
What the fuck are you even saying?
That the rules don’t matter to these people, and no one is doing a god damned thing about it, you eeeeeeeeediots.
Or something along those lines
I agree, a lot of people felt somewhat safe and protected because there were some legal safeguards. Fascists overreach and install loljalists, et viola they are gone.
