Trump's fusillade of executive orders expanding his powers in some extreme ways in his cost-cutting fervor, coupled with unprecedented drives by the Musk-led so-called “department of government efficiency” (Doge) to slash many agency workforces and regulations, have created chaos across the US government and raised fears of a threat to US democracy. Trump and Musk have also attacked judges who have made rulings opposing several of their moves after they ended up in court, threatening at least one with impeachment and accusing him of improper interference. “In the US, we appeal rulings we disagree with — we don’t ignore court orders or threaten judges with impeachment just because we don't like the decision. This is a coup, plain and simple,” Arizona's attorney general, Kris Mayes, said.
