John,

Elon Musk, backed by a team of anonymous teenage hackers, now has direct access to the U.S. Treasury payment data. Federal agencies like USAID are being gutted without congressional approval. And Russell Vought, the mastermind behind Project 2025, now controls the federal budget—giving him the power to defund and dismantle the government from within.

This isn’t just another shift from one party controlling the government to another—it’s a coordinated takeover happening in real time. And Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, isn’t just another Trump crony—he’s leading the charge.

We’ll explain why the media isn’t covering the destruction of the federal government like the five-alarm fire it is, but first—can you chip in $25 now to help COURIER expose the truth while corporate media looks away? [[link removed]]



So why isn’t the media treating this moment like another January 6th, a hurricane, or a national emergency?

Because they’re scared.

Trump has sued them, threatened them, and used right-wing media to turn half the country against them. Now, instead of doing their job—reporting the truth and defending democracy—they’re playing it safe.

They’re covering the slow coup the same way they cover everything Trump does—as just another spectacle. Like his DEI plane crash lie, his Greenland invasion stunt, his fake trade war.

They’re playing into Bannon’s “flood the zone” strategy, covering the chaos but missing the power grab. Only this time, it’s not incompetence—it’s fear.

Meanwhile, Musk’s DOGE now has direct access to federal IT systems—the same systems that send out Social Security and Medicare payments and keep planes in the sky.

This is an attack on democracy—not in theory, but in practice. The corporate media must cover it that way—with 24/7 chyrons, blaring headlines, and the urgency this moment demands.

If they won’t connect the dots, we will. COURIER is here to do what corporate media won’t—expose the truth, hold Trump accountable, and deliver fearless, fact-based journalism where it’s needed most.

We need a press that won’t back down. Chip in now to build the progressive media alternative before it’s too late. [[link removed]]
