What a great year yesterday was. NOT. When are Dems going to make some noise? Any noise would be better.

Let's be clear about what's happening: Musk's DOGE operatives have gained unauthorized access to Treasury payment systems. Security officials who followed classification laws are being removed. Federal agencies created by Congress are being illegally shuttered.

This isn't about efficiency or reform. It's about private citizens seizing control of government functions without legal authority. When someone claims they're 'fixing government' while breaking the law to control its systems, that's not reform—it's a power grab.

Two plus two equals four. Congress creates agencies by law. Presidents can't ignore these laws. Private citizens can't access government systems without authorization. These aren't complex legal theories—they're basic facts being brazenly violated.

While media chases daily dramas and tariff threats, the machinery of your government is being systematically converted to serve private interests. The 'deep state' conspiracy was projection—they're doing exactly what they accused others of planning.

This is happening because not enough people are paying attention to the simple truth: Your democracy is being dismantled through illegal seizure of government functions. The evidence isn't hidden—it's happening in plain sight.

Democracy needs defenders now. Not tomorrow, not after the next crisis. Congress has the power to stop this illegal seizure of government functions. But they'll only act if enough citizens demand it. https://www.notesfromthecircus.com/p/twenty-four-hours

Now that’s some tough talk! 🙄 It was obvious 9 years ago that The Con needed to be stopped. And tough talk hasn’t worked so far.

How was it possible that the institutions to defend democracy in the US failed to prevent something like this from happening?

Maybe it was all an illusion that they could do it and the US just had “good” leaders who happened to respect laws
