Thank you all for joining us tonight. We have a lot to get to in the next hour of the readout,

including Senator Amy Klobuchar, joining me on what Congress can do to rein in the worst of

King Donald Trump's executive orders. Plus, Trump's increasingly disturbing plans to, quote,

And by the president, I think I mean Donald Trump, but it could easily mean Elon Musk, too,

donor, the world's richest billionaire has his staff rifling through nearly every federal agency,

cutting off funding to basically whatever they want to, and particularly targeting the most

vulnerable and

federal courts right now, where district judges are releasing a flurry of orders on some of

Trump's most controversial executive orders, as well as trying to keep Elon Musk and his junior Doge staffers

from being able to access sensitive government systems like the Treasury Department's payment system,

basically the system that pays all of America's bills, or at least it did until the Doge kids came

together alongside Elon's toddler. And weirdly, it was Musk doing most of the talking. Perhaps he should

have been the one sitting behind the resolute desk. When he did get a word in edgewise, Trump did

put the judges on notice with this ominous remark.

And it seems hard to believe that judges want to try and stop us from looking for corruption,
