Clearly, House Republicans, who hold the majority unfortunately, are NOT going to do their constitutional duty or fulfill their oaths of office, but instead are going to be a rubber stamp for whatever illegal, unconstitutional and destructive things Donald Trump, Elon Musk, etc. are doing and/or plan to do. It’s hard to maintain any sort of democracy – or rule of law – if that’s going to be the case.
With that in mind, see below as Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA11) attempts to subpoena Musk, for VERY important, yet Republicans are not interested in having Musk testify to the House Oversight Committee and explain his actions. VERY telling – and VERY bad! As Rep. Connolly says:
“Trump’s disavowal of Project 2025 was just part of the con. President Trump and Elon Musk are using a wrecking ball to systematically dismember the government piece by piece. The American people deserve better, and we in Congress have a constitutional duty to uphold the laws that we created. We must protect the government, workers, programs and services that the future of this country depends on, and stop an unconstitutional assault on the government….Who is this unelected billionaire that he can attempt to dismantle federal agencies, fire people, transfer them, offer them early retirement and have sweeping changes to agencies without any Congressional review, oversight or concurrence? Therefore, Mr. Chairman, given his prominence and his importance, I move that the committee subpoena Elon Musk to come before us as a witness at the earliest possible moment, and I so move.”
Bingo.
