Summary
Donald Trump’s transition team has been barred from accessing federal agencies due to delays in signing standard ethics and transparency agreements, leaving Cabinet nominees without access to classified or non-public data.
This standoff hampers preparation for national security, workforce, and budget issues as the administration readies for the January 20 inauguration.
Concerns include safeguarding against threats like conflicts abroad and domestic crises, such as avian flu.
The delays also risk derailing nominee confirmations, with scrutiny over FBI background checks and controversies involving key picks like Pete Hegseth and Matt Gaetz.
Well until Congress appeals 2 USC § 7, the law indicates that they are indeed on the schedule. But Article II leaves elections in the hands of Congress and the States to deal with. The President is very much excluded from the process.
But I mean, SCOTUS apparently can do whatever they want. So it’s literally could be anything at this point. So who knows? But till 2 USC § 7 is removed, that’s what puts it on everyone’s calendar. And so far, most of the Courts seem to not hold that particular law in question.
“Since there’s so much evidence that the midterm elections are rigged, we’re going to have to postpone them.”
