Its not that the media is not covering what is happening, but it does feel like the military occupation of an American city should be treated as a national crisis.

Are there no Republican congresspeople who can find their courage & stand up to Musk? The guy has no security clearance, no defined authority,deep ties to China, regular conversations with Putin & is dismantling programs established by Congress. We could crowd source their personal security details.
