"The #law & the #Trump administration’s policy, though, are quite distinct. The White House’s attempts to #purge the federal workforce, close down entire depts, & centralize power in the #ExecutiveBranch are patently lawless."

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/feb/17/trump-musk-government-cost-cutting-coup

Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s radical drive to slash billions of dollars in annual federal spending with huge job and regulatory cuts is spurring charges that they have made illegal moves while undercutting congressional and judicial powers, say legal experts, Democrats and state attorneys general.

"Several top FBI execs promoted by Dir Wray were told today to resign or retire, and told they'll be demoted or reassigned if they don’t leave, mult. sources tell me. This includes about a half dozen “exec asst. directors,” who're some of the bureau’s top managers. They oversee criminal, natsec & cyber investigations -career civil servants, so can't be fired w/o cause."
-K Dilanian

Apparently Republican lawmakers have no red line. They're complicit.
