Rep. Frost on Dem Response to DOGE Coup

Tracking The Fall Into Authoritarinism

Elon Defends DOGE, Constitutional Crisis

Listener Questions

The House is on FIRE! Democrats React to COUP feat. Congressman Frost.

 

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum address the Trump/Musk power grab, which has swiftly become a constitutional crisis.

 

Joined by Representative Maxwell Frost (Florida-10), the hosts have some tough questions about what Democrats are doing to limit Trump and Musk’s overreach. Why did they let a plain clothed, skinny white man keep them out of the Department of Education?? Congressman Frost, a former activist and first Gen Z congressional representative, thinks he knows EXACTLY what Democrats must do.  

 

Why is this a constitutional crisis? Well, in defiance of the congressional “power of the purse,” Elon Musk’s DOGE continues to consolidate power, and in defiance of court orders from the judiciary, Trump’s executive orders (like the federal funding freeze) are in full swing and having real world impact. The executive branch is staging a coup, usurping power from Congress and the courts, and threatening the balance of power that has maintained U.S. democracy for 250 years. Let’s talk about it!
