Summary
Trump’s speech to Congress may have deepened legal troubles for Elon Musk and DOGE by publicly stating Musk runs the agency, contradicting White House claims that Amy Gleason is in charge.
The administration previously argued Musk, officially a “senior adviser,” has no formal authority over DOGE to shield it from lawsuits.
Judge Theodore Chuang already questioned this discrepancy, calling it “highly suspicious.”
Trump’s statement could trigger further legal scrutiny into Musk’s role in dismantling federal agencies and mass firings, undermining the White House’s defense against ongoing litigation.
This is great news. There are three judges currently embroiled in this, and I hope they throw the fucking book at the defense lawyers and anyone else who told them to lie about this. Prolonged contempt at a minimum, but let the lawsuits fly against these pieces of shit and Musk for sure.
The judiciary is not going to save you. Get that idea right out of your head. We will never collectively decide to do what needs to be done if we keep holding onto hope that this is a problem that can be solved from within the system.
Well, you keep coming around a doomsaying this over and over and claiming that everyone is ignoring court orders, but they aren’t. Workers are getting reinstated, money is getting to where it needs to go, and laws aren’t changing. There are certain people that are in positions that can do nothing but wait for the judiciary, and they’re moving the process along.
You let us all know when you start doing what needs to be done though, because you’re just on here every day as far as I can tell. Some of us are participating in “the system” as best we can.
Lemmy needs a remind me bot, because this post is going to age like milk.
