Let’s Get You Caught Up On The Coup

If you weren’t online this weekend, you may only be learning today that Elon Musk is executing a coup. He, and a team of 6 young sycophants — all unelected, all private citizens — illegally took control of U.S. Treasury databases, giving them access to the social security numbers of all Americans, and giving them control of the systems that pay your social security checks and tax refunds. In addition, the same team spent the weekend taking over USAID and are attempting to shut it down. And then, just today it was reported that Musk’s team has been granted access to all systems at the Small Business Administration (SBA), including HR, contract and payment systems. So far the coup has been successful.

Is anyone fighting back? Sort of. The first visible efforts began a few hours ago, as a few elected Democrats tried to enter the USAID building and weren’t allowed in. And Senator Brian Schatz says he will place a "blanket hold" on all of Trump's State Department nominees until USAID is back up and running again.
