'Our Democracy Is Under Siege’ Former Treasury Secretaries Write Scathing NY Times Op-Ed Warning Against DOGE's 'Threat to America'




'Our Democracy Is Under Siege’ Former Treasury Secretaries Write Scathing NY Times Op-Ed Warning Against DOGE's 'Threat to America'
Five former Treasury Secretaries issued a stark warning calling out President Donald Trump’s latest moves at the Treasury as a direct threat to American democracy’s financial backbone in a show of rising alarm.
The letter, published in The New York Times, unites Robert E. Rubin, Lawrence H. Summers, Timothy F. Geithner, Jacob J. Lew, and Janet L. Yellen—all veterans of Democratic administrations—in condemning what they describe as “arbitrary and capricious political control of federal payments.”

JD Vance Goes to Bat for 25-Year-Old 'Kid' Elon Musk Staffer Who Resigned Over Racist Tweets: 'Bring Him Back'



...The Wall Street Journal published a story on Thursday about Marko Elez, a “key DOGE staff member who gained access to the Treasury Department’s central-payments system” and resigned “after he was linked to a deleted social-media account that advocated racism and eugenics.”

 

Even if they stopped, full stop, right now, the damage is already done and it will take years and years to fix.

Schatz Takes Direct Shots At Derelict Democrats
Sen. Brian Schatz (D-HI) had some pointed remarks for Democratic strategists who have been advising the party’s elected officials to pick their battles carefully against President Donald Trump...“I’m not going to let some pundit dictate whether or not I exercise my obligations as a member of the Article I branch,” Schatz said. “David Axelrod, James Carville. I mean, those guys have not been in the trenches legislatively or electorally in a full generation. And there’s a cottage industry out there of Democratic strategists. But in order to be a Democratic strategist, you actually have to do politics currently and not just podcast about it.”
