Breaking News: "They are trying to break this agency in order to turn the public against it, so they can privatize it, liquidate it, and steal at least a portion or all of the $2.7 T that's in the fund. People should rise up." Former Social Security Admin Commissioner Martin O'Malley.

My favorite economist, @BetseyStevenson, nails it: DOGE is "performance art," designed "to dazzle us and have us look away from trillions of dollar in tax cuts to the uber-wealthy."

Among those
- Musk has repeatedly called for stopping Treasury payments, which officials internally have warned would violate Impoundment Control Act. Also could violate due process protections;
- DOGE's promise to pay federal workers taking the resignation agreement through September has met resistance internally as violating the Antideficiency Act. Unclear if provisions in offer are legally enforceable;
- DOGE's access to government databases has triggered concerns among U.S. officials about violations of 1974 Privacy Act, which sets up strict standards for sharing individuals' private information. These concerns have been raised at multiple agencies;
- The executive does not have the ability to unilaterally abolish U.S. agencies, as Musk is demanding of USAID;

A US sovereign wealth fund is a "gimmick"
We don't have $$ to fund this
It's not going to be very big (or influential)
There's a real danger it will be used as a Trump slush fund
Lastly, there are so many other priorities for whatever $$ is used to fund this.

No details are provided yet, a plan will be submitted in 90 days, but fact sheet notes US holds a vast sum of highly valued assets that can be invested through a sovereign wealth fund and Fed govt holds $5.7 trillion in assets & natural resource reserves etc
JenL retweeted
Trump's EO to create a US sovereign wealth fund says it will “invest in great national endeavors” - but does not mention foreign investments
Similar funds - Saudi's PIF, UAE's Mubadala, Russia's RDIF are a key part of buying influence for corrupt govts

Among the many reasons it betrays Louisiana families that @SenBillCassidy is supporting RFK is that RFK repeatedly betrayed ignorance of the difference between Medicare and Medicaid.
Here's that means for LA.
