“This is a coup, plain and simple,” Arizona Attorney General, Kris Mayes, 2/7/25
The clear indicator that Trump and Musk want to illegally consolidate power for themselves has been how they repeatedly break the law.
This won’t come as a surprise to you a little over a month into the administration, but compared to other Presidents, and even to Trump’s first term, the willingness to ignore the courts and violate laws is rampant and alarming. Illegal firings of workers, from the lowest rungs of the federal ladder to inspectors general, are largely unprecedented.
