Summary

Donald Trump criticized federal judges who blocked his administration’s funding cuts, suggesting they should be “looked at.”

His comments followed a ruling that halted a $4 billion NIH budget cut targeting biomedical research. Scientists warned the cuts would cripple labs and cost jobs.

Trump also signed an order supporting Elon Musk’s plan to reduce the federal workforce, though courts have blocked several of Musk’s initiatives.

Musk defended Trump’s efforts, arguing the judiciary and bureaucracy undermine democracy, despite not being an elected official himself.

    The judiciary is a CORNER STONE of democracy you illegal immigrant. But then you would know that if you had a legitimate citizenship here you prick.

      Woah there, friend. There are several million legitimate citizens that don’t know their ass from a hole in the ground.

      Their knowledge of the workings of the government (or anything else, really) don’t have much bearing on their citizenship.

      Still odd for an individual who would have to take an exam on the matter for naturalization.

        I think it’s 100% relevant here since we are referring to a literal Nazi with unlimited means who has installed himself as the most powerful individual in the US. A position nobody should be in, but especially not someone who may have split allegiances.

      I agree with the sentiment but let’s not forget that there are plenty of American citizens who think exactly the same way Musk does about this issue. Essentially, anything that prevents me from doing what I want is a flaw in the system.
