Summary
Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s aggressive federal cost-cutting plans face legal setbacks and public opposition.
A new Quinnipiac poll showed that 60% of voters disapprove of Musk’s tactics, though Republicans remain largely supportive.
Judges blocked the firing of probationary employees, calling Musk’s “department of government efficiency” approach a “sham.”
Meanwhile, agencies nationwide braced for major disruptions as the GSA prepared to terminate hundreds of leases to save $500m.
It’s not actual cost cutting. Stop calling it that.
We can only hope that people will get themselves a chance to directly demonstrate their approval of Musk. Hopefully many of us will have a chance to see him in a place we can reach him and show our disapproval.
If not, hopefully at least one person can find Musk in one of his hidey holes, behind his security, without his tiny human meat shield (or with, who cares) and clearly, without complication, demonstrate their disapproval of Leon.
I’m hoping one of his security detail does it. I bet the defense contractors losing billions on this circus will buy one of them off.
I’m sure the finger wagging keeps him up at night.
