'Should be embarrassing': GOP Congress shamed for letting Elon Musk take their jobs

Republicans in Congress aren't acting like they're a co-equal branch of government with the president, wrote Hayes Brown in a scathing analysis for MSNBC — and in fact, it's not just President Donald Trump they're surrendering constitutional powers to, but unelected tech billionaire Elon Musk.
Through his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) task force, which he is not even formally in charge of for legal reasons, Musk has been spearheading aggressive layoffs in the civil service and the unilateral suspension of funding and grants Congress has appropriated — all of which is likely illegal, and could tank the economy per some experts.
"The Republican leaders of the 119th Congress seem to have entirely forgotten their place in the federal pecking order," wrote Brown. These days, he wrote, "There are few GOP legislators ... willing to present themselves as an equal of President Donald Trump, let alone willing to tell him what to do. Their prostration before Trump has reduced the most powerful branch on paper to petitioning the president’s court for the means to achieve even Congress’ most modest goals."
