After two weeks of Musk and his Tech Boys rampaging through the federal bureaucracy, the courts have finally started pulling on the reins.  Now two judges have poo-pooed Trump’s bullshit natural born executive order, and another judge today put a halt to Musk’s “Fork in the Road” demand until a hearing on Monday.  Last night, DOJ agreed to “read only” access for two “special employees” and a judge is considering that settlement now.  In the meantime, USAID remains illegal shuttered with civil servants locked out and thousands stranded in countries all over the world.

Let’s be clear, though – what Musk is doing is illegal as shit, outside of any Congressional oversight.  He’s pushing longstanding employees out, threatening others, and has even locked out thousands of employees.  He’s using the same tactics he used at Xitter, Twitter converted to X, pronounced “shitter”.  His well known tactic is to break everything, then go back and fix it later.  That’s fine when you have a private company, but when you’re fucking with 340 million Americans’ lives, the rules are, or goddam sure better be, different.

Worse, the DOJ, now under Trump acolyte, Pam Bondi, is now completely weaponized, and she’s even calling the attorneys “Trump attorneys” which the most certainly are not.  She issued a memo today announcing a plan to “root out corruption” which is translated to “make the DOJ corrupt as hell“.  So a coup is underway, stealing the US government from under the noses of the American people and none of the guardrails are even left standing.

The wheels of justice are starting turn, though too slow and too late.  The problem I see, though, is when the courts rule against Trump/Musk, (which they will) how are those orders going to be enforced against them?  It’s damn sure not the DOJ or FBI, not the Congress, and not the SCOTUS.  We are entering an absolutely lawless age in the use where the Felon is running the prison, and all the guards work for him.  This is going to take millions of people to stop and that’s going to require courage.
