Republicans in Congress have largely abandoned their traditional role by letting Trump and Elon Musk dismantle the federal government without significant opposition. Despite ongoing debates about budget cuts, there is little action to assert their authority over spending. The GOP appears more interested in political maneuvering than governance, allowing Musk's new policies to take center stage. This approach indicates a broader shift within the Republican Party towards a reliance on outsiders for their agendas, paving the way for an unchecked Trump administration while avoiding unpopular spending cuts in public votes.
Republicans have shown that they have just enough votes to fulfill an equally important purpose: make sure President Trump can wage his assault on the federal government unimpeded.
Under the GOP's watch, Congress has put up virtually no resistance while Trump and Elon Musk have shut down agencies, sidelined thousands of federal employees, and stopped congressionally approved payments.
