Summary
Hundreds of protesters, joined by Democratic lawmakers, rallied outside the Treasury Department, condemning Elon Muskās āhostile takeoverā of federal financial systems.
Lawmakers, including Maxine Waters and Ayanna Pressley, attempted to enter the building but were turned away.
Treasury officials later claimed that Muskās team had āread-onlyā access to coded payment data, but concerns persist over security risks and misuse of taxpayer information.
Protesters fear Muskās influence is part of a broader effort to dismantle government institutions and exploit federal systems for financial gain.
they have a very thin majority in congress, they donāt actually have every judgeā¦ there are things that can be doneā¦.
there are things we could do about it and you should stop being defeatist
Not being defeatist, just a realist. Judges donāt matter when SCOTUS is in Trumpās pocket. Republicans know they have these two years to dismantle the government and set it back decades while they have literally all the power. They have everything they need to get it done.
This is what happens when some people choose to stay home on election day because āthe Democrats are not doing enough for Palestinians.ā Now watch what happens to Palestinians.
the democrats were enthusiastically supporting a genocide and calling protesters of that genocide āanti-semitesā.
myopic of anyone to think trump would be better, but hardly inspirational to say āweāre only doing genocide-lite!ā.
trump inspired his base, the democrats alienated theirsā¦
