Summary

Progressive Democrats accused Donald Trump and Elon Musk of orchestrating a ā€œconstitutional crisisā€ after Musk moved to shut down USAID and gained access to a federal payment system.

Lawmakers, blocked from entering USAID’s headquarters, condemned Trump for granting Musk unchecked power over government functions.

Senator Elizabeth Warren warned that Musk’s involvement could trigger financial instability, while Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called it a ā€œplutocratic coup.ā€

    I dumped that into ChatGPT to figure out what that would mean:

    ā€œGold-progressingā€: If ā€œoro-ā€ means gold, then ā€œorogressiveā€ could describe something advancing toward wealth, golden standards, or prosperity.

    ā€œMountain-movingā€ or ā€œMountain-progressingā€: If we go with the geological meaning, ā€œorogressiveā€ could mean progressing through or overcoming mountains—maybe symbolizing overcoming big challenges.

    ā€œSpeech-advancingā€: If ā€œoro-ā€ is tied to oral communication, ā€œorogressiveā€ might mean someone who is progressive in speech, rhetoric, or persuasion.

    Honestly, all of those are ironically far more aspirational than ā€œprogressiveā€. I give it 4/5 stars for your newly-minted neologism.
