The executive branch does not have the legal right to cancel appropriated spending or eliminate agencies created by Congress.
Trump and Musk are doing both. Entirely lawless and unconstitutional.
The world's largest provider of food assistance shut down.

![“I went over it with him in detail, and he agreed that we should shut it down,” Musk said. “And I actually checked with him a few times [and] said ‘are you sure?’”

I know we’re a lot of frustrated Bears fans but I just met George McCaskey on an airplane. He’s sitting a row ahead of me. I tapped him on the arm and said, “You want me to tell you how to fix this whole thing?” He turned around and said, “Yeah I want to talk to you.”
