Honestly, this authoritarian takeover of the US government is the biggest thing happening in most of our life times so far. Shocked that this is not dominating news all over the world. I'm not even American.

Don't get me wrong, it's terrible that they were granted access to very sensitive information (government contracts, employee data, probably tax returns last I heard) with no oversight. That's gone, no way back.
But make no mistake, this is not a heist. It's a coup. They are seizing control of meta-infrastructures of the government: payroll, contracts, payments, communications, software. This is how you hold a country hostage.
