Pushback is happening

Appearing with other Democratic lawmakers outside USAID offices on Monday, Representative Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) thundered:

“Elon Musk, you didn't create USAID. The United States Congress did for the American people … like Elon Musk did not create USAID, he doesn't have the power to destroy it. And who's going to stop him? We are.”

Raskin bluntly concluded: “This a constitutional crisis that we are in today.”

Indeed, Democratic lawmakers seem to have sprung to life, with fervor. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D.-Mass.) put out a blistering statement:

“As long as Musk has this access, he can retrieve people’s sensitive personal information. Social security numbers. Bank account numbers. Tax returns. Musk now has the power to extract that information for his own use, to boost his finances or strengthen his political power.”

He's a cunt, but I can live with this. Give him skin in the game, about 50% of the deposits are in areas held by Russia or in areas potentially threatened by Russia. I had no illusions about Trump supporting Ukraine because it was the right thing to do. Zelensky did the right thing last time around and the Biden admin kind of fucked him around by slow rolling a bunch of the aid that Biden didn't need congressional approval on in the name of avoiding "escalation".

Play Trump's game, give him the silk glove handy, but get full price for it.
 
Shhhhh, stop telling him.

Though I'm not convinced that he didn't already know. Go on r/conservative if you want to see how to glue eaters are taking the news "Canada and Mexico caved!!! Trump 3-0!!!!" (the first victory was Colombia for those keeping score at home...lol). The people he wants pacified are fully pacified.

it’s more chaotic than you think, according to WSJ

First of all, it’s scary that Miler is the voice of reason

Miller expressed concern that excessively antagonizing Mexico could jeopardize the country’s ongoing cooperation to interdict migrants attempting to reach the U.S. border, some of the people said.

Secondly, Canadian officials were not sure that Trump knew about their border plans announced in December

Canadian officials said they had been touting the plan to reinforce the border with new choppers and other technology to border czar Tom Homan and other Trump officials for weeks. Canadian ministers had even sent videos of their helicopters and a time-lapse video of the border to Homan to prove that the border was well-guarded, but Homan told Fox News on Sunday that he still hadn’t briefed Trump on what he had seen of the Canadian plans, and would do so later in the week.
