Overview

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

Elon Musk's leadership of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) faces mounting backlash as he enacts aggressive cuts and closes agencies, like USAID, without congressional approval. Outraged Democrats mobilize protests and assert the need for resistance against what they label unconstitutional actions. Recent developments reveal Musk’s access to sensitive Treasury data, prompting lawsuits from federal unions concerned about privacy invasions. Despite President Trump asserting Musk's actions are approved, critics argue this undermines the rule of law and threaten a constitutional crisis. Efforts to halt Trump's agenda are underway, yet the feasibility remains uncertain in a GOP-controlled Congress.
