This is an excellent summary of Musk’s takeover of the Treasury from @NYMag’s @chasdanner, with quotes from WSJ, NYT, WaPo, and my op-ed from @MSNBC yesterday.

But this quote from @smotus is right on the money. This isn’t efficiency. It’s a coup.

This is a five alarm fire.

The people elected Donald Trump to be President - not Elon Musk.

Having an unelected billionaire, with his own foreign debts and motives, raiding US classified information is a grave threat to national security.

This should not be a partisan issue.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

This is illegal. Elon Musk has no authority to cut federal spending.

As an American, I want to go on record to say how horrified I am for what our newly elected government is doing to Canada and the rest of the world. I’m heartbroken.

Very detailed account of steps to ask for NIH grant funding. The arduous review process helps ensure our tax dollars are spent well. Cutting off funding as we saw this week is malfeasance.

[Darby Saxbe @darbysaxbe]

I need people to understand how difficult it is to get an NIH grant. You spend months writing a proposal, following strict guidelines that include a detailed multiyear budget, bios of everyone on your team, plans for participant safety & ethical conduct. Then you send it off -1/n

Russ Vought devised these illegal holds on funding for disaster relief, medical research, student aid, child care, and nutrition, as well as purges of the federal workforce.

If confirmed as OMB Director he’ll keep this up for four years.

The Senate should reject his nomination.

[Jack Hopkins @thejackhopkins]

And you haven’t heard about this because Trump has banned ALL external communication from the CDC, FDA, and others. They can no longer notify the public about any health crisis.

Trump ordered the National Institutes of Health to cancel their review panels on cancer research.

If you or someone you know has cancer, heart disease, diabetes, or one of many countless illnesses that needs a cure — this could have devastating effects.

Talk about indoctrination: Iowa’s Board of Education is trying to force science teachers to lie about climate change and evolution. We once led the nation in public education and will now lead in disinformation. IA cannot go down this Orwellian road.

The Special Counsel’s 1/6 Report, made public last night, confirms the unavoidable facts of 1/6 yet again. DOJ’s exhaustive and independent investigation reached the same essential conclusions as the Select Committee. All this DOJ evidence must be preserved. But most important now, as the Senate considers confirming Trump’s Justice Department nominees: if those nominees cooperated with Trump’s deceit to overturn the 2020 election, they cannot now be entrusted with the responsibility to preserve the rule of law and protect our Republic. As our framers knew, our institutions only hold when those in office are not compromised by personal loyalty to a tyrant. So this question is now paramount for Republicans: Will you faithfully perform the duties the framers assigned to you and do what the Constitution requires? Or do you lack the courage?

BREAKING: Rupert Murdoch's Fox Corp suffers a crushing defeat as a New York court rejects their request to dismiss a lawsuit brought by voting systems company Smartmatic against Fox News.

And it gets even better...

Smartmatic is suing Fox for over $2 billion after the right-wing news network allegedly knowingly broadcast false, damaging information about the company's software after the 2020 election.

Fox has absurdly insisted that the lies — which helped boost the network's ratings — were fair game and "newsworthy" because Donald Trump and his minions were pushing them at the time.

"We will be ready to defend this case surrounding extremely newsworthy events when it goes to trial,” Fox told The Hill. "As a report prepared by our financial expert shows, Smartmatic’s damages claims are implausible, disconnected from reality, and on their face intended to chill First Amendment freedoms."

What's more, Smartmatic has issued subpoenas to key members of Fox Corporation's board of directors.

Fox has had poor legal luck fighting back, as just last month they lost a bid to acquire information about federal charges against Smartmatic stemming from alleged bribery in the Philippines.

So far, this legal war is decidedly tilting in Smartmatic's favor.

Given the fact that Fox agreed in 2023 to pay Dominion Voting Systems $787 million to settle a different defamation lawsuit, the odds of this ending poorly for Fox seem high.

Please retweet and ❤️ if you hope that Smartmatic wins its lawsuit against Fox — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.
