We need to held them accountable but remember, one of the things that fascists hate most is being publicly ridiculed.
So it's our civic duty to laugh at them.

The Trump administration's Signal fiasco has given Democrats an unexpected shot to go on offense, with a pair of hearings in the next two days.
"Well, somebody f**ked up," Sen. Tim Sheehy (R-Mont.), a former Navy SEAL, told reporters Monday.

And now Netanyahu is bombing.
He has killed hundreds of people, including children, in these latest attacks.
There is no justification for this. None.
Contact your Senators and House Rep to be front and center in opposition to this.
Stop our military and financial support for this slaughter.

A shadowy group of unelected figures reshaping the federal govt to their own benefit from the inside? Sounds familiar!

The new wave of #memecoin scams like #TrumpCoin are also all facilitated/perpetrated by these decentralized trading platforms.
If any of these people are your representative you should do what you can to make sure they are primaried because they are not representing your interests. At a minimum call them and yell at them (this works better than most people think!)
The corruption of the US government by #crypto bros is extremely bipartisan.

Laws are laws
In reality, most of what Musk is doing is flatly illegal.
Canceling contracts without notice violates the law. Mass firing federal employees without cause violates the law. Cutting federal funds for all scientific and medical research violates the law. But most egregiously, Musk’s deletion of entire government departments and Trump’s refusal to spend money as directed by the budget bills violates the Constitution. That’s why multiple courts have enjoined the Trump administration from blanket spending cuts.
It is axiomatic that Congress has the power of the purse, and “feeding USAID to the woodchipper” violates the separation of powers because Congress established the agency and allocated funds to it as part of the federal budget.
As Democratic Rep. Rosa DeLauro, ranking member of the House Appropriations Committee, wrote last week in the New York Times:
[block quote]
Congress, not the executive branch, has the power of the purse, meaning the power to control federal spending. It is right there, as clear as day in Article I, Section 9, Clause 7: “No money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in consequence of appropriations made by law.”
This is a bedrock principle of our government, which President Trump and his unchecked billionaire buddy are attempting to subvert.
