We all have standing to be public officials and testify. Any takers?

"Standing" is a person's or group's legal right to file a case and be heard before a court, so it's USAID that has standing.

I often paint with too broad a brush.

-- USAID alleged that DOGE acted as an unelected entity exercising authority reserved for officials confirmed by the Senate.
-- First ruling: U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang found the fast-moving dismantling likely unconstitutional and warned it undermined Congress's power to control agency funding.
-- The court ordered the administration to restore access to USAID systems for employees, including those on administrative leave.
-- Appeals Court ruling: A federal appeals court in late March 2025 cleared the way for DOGE to continue its cuts, indicating that challenges should be directed at the administration rather than directly blocking DOGE.

So as of today, the lawsuit is proceeding with class-action claims regarding the dismantling of the agency.

The good thing about USAID's case is that when it gets to SCOTUS, that because it's become a class action case, the highest court will not overrule its previous advice to present class action cases as a means of winning for the country. If USAID wins, the ruling will improve our now-eroded reputation as a giver of international aid. And USAID won't likely ever be dismantled again. Nor will such a "special agency" such as DOGE ever exist again.

I do hope for a legal win, anyway.

The idiot thought he could have it all. But he had too many balls in the air to juggle. Tesla became a vulnerability because people hated what he was doing with DOGE. And now his rockets keep blowing up. I think we are seeing the fall of Icarus.

We will never see him in an American court nor will he ever be held accountable for what he has done.

Because he is not a US citizen. We can't hold him unless we grab him. Now.

Which of course, we won't.

naturalized in 2002 and belongs UNDER the prison.

Not that this would mean anything on the world stage, but I guess it means we can go get his ass.

Same with Murdoch, in order to eventually create Faux and buy Dow Jones (to get ownership of the WSJ, etc).

My point was that being an U.S. citizen may not help him anywhere else but here, and it may give us standing to... extradite... his drugged out ass back here to answer for a few things.

and the U.S. is a few steps away from breaking off ties with that country, I don't know if they would accept him if he fled back there.

He has Canadian citizenship but I expect they don't want him either.

He just merged SpaceX with xAI to make that a fait accompli!

Now picture me running around with a chain saw to symbolize me cutting into his arrogance and peace.

We The People should not have to pay for what these criminals did.

I don’t. It’ll be all evasion and “I don’t remember.”

is a hell of a drug.

. . . “Big Balls” and the other dumbass tech bros.

He knows trump will pardon him if he's ever convicted of it.

Could end this billionaire problem, pretty quickly too.

stalking and shooting people in the back is NOT heroic

CORRUPT FUCKER
