Summary
Elon Musk called for the impeachment of federal judges after courts blocked his DOGE from laying off probationary (new) federal workers.
Judges ordered agencies to reinstate tens of thousands of employees, ruling the firings unlawful. Musk claimed judicial resistance undermines democracy.
Musk has attacked judges on social media, calling them “corrupt” and “evil,” raising concerns among federal judges about their safety.
We also have to remember that they’re getting increasing pressure (death threats and bribes) to go along with the Republican destruction of democracy.
Edit: also, Trump has already shown he’ll withhold funding for people who don’t support him and his agenda.
