What is the point of Congress passing any laws at all if the executive will pick and choose which ones to implement (or not)??

I fear purging competent civil servants not the complete plan. My sense is that the only reason Musk is there is to ostensibly make agencies more efficient through automation. Hopefully his and DOGE's Special Government Employee status ends before their damage is irreparable. No matter, I do not see this ending well.

It's not that I agree with Carville about rolling over and playing dead. I don't. But Schumer was wrong to cooperate. We should make our points, and our votes, and let the Republicans win, which have no way of stopping them from doing. They will hurts lots of people, us included. It is that injury that will get the voters' attention. We're already seeing it in special elections, and the greater the injury, the more lopsided '26 will be.

Hello. You’re mostly correct, and I submit there is an alternative viewpoint. The President *should* control civil service employees. Please reference the Constitution.
