Summary
Elon Musk’s DOGE used U.S. Marshals to take control of the U.S. African Development Foundation (USADF) after being denied entry the previous day.
USADF’s chair, Ward Brehm, instructed staff to block DOGE and Peter Marocco, a Trump ally, citing legal requirements.
Trump’s executive order seeks to dismantle USADF, but Brehm sued DOGE and Marocco, arguing the move is illegal.
The agency, which funds African grassroots initiatives, is fighting the takeover as Congress questions the administration’s authority to unilaterally dissolve it.
The Nazis didn’t grab power by force, it was lawfully given to them. That’s pretty much the same thing happening here. He’s asking nicely and they’re saying yes.
Yeah, that’s not what “lawful” means though… This is definitely all being illegally given to him.
Well here it sort of does. “Without consequences” might be more accurate but what Elon does and says is de facto policy at this point
But that’s not lawfully and the original comment doesn’t make sense otherwise.
Oh please, don’t start this Nazi narrative. I’m far from a supporter of this government but it being a Nazi government is a bit too far from reality.
I guess having three people from that same government making Nazi salutes live on TV or a president calling Nazis “very fine people”, does not make them a government of Nazis.
Is it? Is it really? Please, elaborate on how that is the case. We’re listening.
