Schumer and Jeffries propose to “stop the steal” with a new bill targeting Musk’s takeover.
The top Senate and House Democrats are introducing a new bill seeking to bar access to the Treasury Department’s payment system to “special government employees,” or those with conflicts of interest or who lack the appropriate security clearance. While it’s likely an uphill battle to pass in a Republican-controlled Congress, it would perhaps theoretically rid the Treasury of the 25-year-old engineer reportedly poking around that system.

"People share as a form of social signaling. I send you a meme/article/clipping/photo to show that we are on the same team. Whether it is true, or misinformation, or actual propaganda, is of secondary importance. Sometimes it’s completely irrelevant. This is why fact checking doesn’t work. This is why “cheap fakes”—obviously fake photos and videos—are effective."
