(1,492 posts)They don't have the authority. They do have the power. They are an illegal autocratic regime. Musk is just going to shut down the federal payment system to kill the federal government and starve out the population. It is illegal and unconstitutional but they are going to do it.
One possible option for resistance is for Dems in Congress to call it out for what it is- an unconstitutional crime and an impeachable offense. Perhaps when Republicans in Red States do not receive their monthly Social Security checks or their SNAP benefits or WIC they will demand that their Republican Congresspeople do something to stop this.
Maybe that would wake up some Republicans in Congress. If not, at least Dems loudly calling this an illegal and unconstitutional crime will make it clear to the general public what is going on. Maybe the public will revolt. We would certainly have the right.
There are also other options for resistance--
One option- Blue State Resistance--
