Control of the US budget lies with Congress, not POTUS. This is a constitutional crisis. Why isnβt anyone treating it as such? Where is the outcry from members of Congress? No lawsuits? Why are the media treating this like a pg 2 story? What the hell is going on? Are yβall just rolling over?

@newsweek.com why are you not reporting on Musk being given access to the federal payment system? This move puts control of government spending in the hands of a Trump surrogate. The Constitution calls for Congress to control the budget, not POTUS. This is a constitutional crisis. Donβt ignore it!

What I donβt understand is that many of these companies like United Healthcare are nonprofits. They literally arenβt allowed to have shareholders who reap financial rewards. I know the CEOs have outrageous compensation packages, but what is happening to all the money these companies are making?
