[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How come there are no lawsuits?? We all know it’s illegal and shouldn’t there be a lawsuit to stop this from happening? What am I missing??[/quote]

This. I'm so surprised. Elon tweeted about dismantling USAID over the weekend. All the news came out early in the week. Here we are Thursday afternoon and still no lawsuit filed on USAID. I hear from the Hill and from legal experts how this is an unconstitutional powergrab. So why hasn't anyone filed yet? Why haven't the Dems filed? Why hasn't AFSA?

AFSA put out a press release yesterday about lawsuits coming in the "next few days". WTF!! People are on admin leave tomorrow and flying back as early as this weekend. What's taking them so long? They seem to lack all urgency.

They should have spent all of Mon/Tues with lawyers pushing for a TRO to stop the admin leave and definitely stop the closing of missions abroad. I wonder if lack of funding/timidness to sign onto legal debt w/ the highest priced attorneys was at play. But this is an extinction-level event that required guts and urgency. (And I bet a USAID Legal Defense Fund would raise a ton of cash from millions that do NOT want to see this happen.) But that's just a guess. The real (sad) take is that Elon's blitz shock and awe move won against bureaucrats who couldn't quickly enough to stop it.[/quote]
