Don't you think that the unstable dangerous criminal and national security threat should be impeached, convicted, and removed for any/all of the myriad of illegal acts he commits on a daily basis?
Why don't you speak about this? Isn't it time to demand the Constitutional remedy for a lawless executive?
Thanks.

Two lawsuits could provide further insight into DOGE
On Wednesday, US District Judge Tanya Chutkan ordered Musk and his DOGE collaborators to provide records and testimony about its plans to slash federal agencies. The order seeks to establish the “parameters of DOGE’s and Musk’s authority.” From Politico:
"[Chutkan’s order] is a win for a group of 14 Democratic state attorneys general who are suing President Donald Trump, Musk and DOGE, arguing that Musk has unconstitutionally wielded immense power in ways that are damaging their states. Any information the states glean as a result of Chutkan’s decision will help her determine whether to block Musk and DOGE’s government activities altogether. It’s the first time a judge has ordered Musk to produce documents in a court challenge to his aggressive campaign to slash and reshape the federal bureaucracy."
Musk and DOGE have three weeks to fulfill the discovery requests.
