According to Musk and most of tech: No conflict, no interest

Every single morning…

Buffalo, NY. youtu.be/irinTeQHES0?...

All over today. This is NYC.

It was a great protest march. My friend and were late but we caught up at Washington Park. Sadly we were too tired to make it to Times Square.

NYC protest marching down 5th to Washington Square Park #resist #stoptrump #notmypresident

Union Square rally.

So many people!

Protest in NYC

Union Square NYC. Now.

NYC on the March to Washington Square Park ! ✊🇺🇸

#notmypresidentsday

NYC protest today at 1 p.m. in Union Square! Stand up against fascism!

Woke up with a headache today. In desperate search for Tylenol so I can go to the protest later today. Nigella is worried for me. She knows how much I want to go.

I’m old (61 years old), I’m tired, I’m fat. But I suppose I will have to haul my *ss to Union Square and protest tomorrow because half the country has blinders on and can’t tell a coup even when it is being televised!

The CFPB has returned $21 billion to 205 million consumers who were scammed at the hands of predatory banks. You can root out waste, fraud, and abuse... or you can eliminate the CFPB. But you can't do both.

🚨🚨 Timely statement from the American Bar Association on the looming Constitutional Crisis in the US: "The ABA supports the rule of law". Well worth to read the statement in full. 🧵 www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

Visit me in the camps

This sums it up perfectly!

This is unconscionable.

“So many of these things are so wildly illegal that I think they’re playing a quantity game and assuming the system can’t react to all this illegality at once...” www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

BREAKING: DOGE has gained access to Medicare and Medicaid payment systems www.investing.com/news/politic...

West Point- White Supremacy is now the official policy of the USMA

Elon Musk’s agenda takes aim at all of us including those who voted for Trump. Right now there are thousands of angry people as far as the eye can see at the treasury wondering who the hell elected Musk President?

Demand prison time for Musk, only Congress has the legal mandate to get rid or cut USAID. Cutting off the aid will cause thousands of deaths, especially among women and children around the world. That’s called mass murder.

Trump U.S atty assuring Elon that his bro team rifling through govt info will be protected: “We will not act like the previous administration who looked the other way as the Antifa and BLM rioters as well as thugs w/guns trashed our capital city.” They’ve disappeared January 6th from their minds.

🚨BREAKING: Alliance for Retired Americans and two labor unions file lawsuit against Treasury Dept. to block disclosure of personal and financial information to Musk and DOGE. Follow @democracydocket.com for details on this and every pro-democracy lawsuit. www.democracydocket.com

Is Musk is *just now* being made a “special government employee” just confirms how illegal this has all been!

More this (action) less chatter!

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out. This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

Congressman @beyer.house.gov will be going to USAID today with colleagues to shine a light on what is happening there, I think others will join us. Figuring out details now and will share but flagging now for press and public in the area

This is how it’s done!

This is how we do it!

There's legitimate reasons to investigate USAID. But this is an extraordinary intrusion into a publicly funded institution by private sector goons with secret motivations apparently known only to two individuals. A capitalist coup? That's almost the definition of fascism. (WP)

Agree. Right now Republicans aren’t feeling any pressure. Neither Johnson, nor Thune. No visits to their offices. No demonstrations. No reporters running alongside them with microphones. No Dem walkouts from hearings or votes.

Seeing lots of people here looking for documents related to the OMB/Executive order funds freeze. All of the key docs -- the lawsuit, OMB memos, court orders, etc. are in the story below. Democracy Docket always provides free links to underlying court docs. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

There is no oversight to what Musk is doing… we only have his word for it. Here is how he’s justifying himself: www.foxnews.com/politics/mus...

Btw let me reinforce this again when it comes to this crew: EVERY ACCUSATION IS A CONFESSION.

1,100 EPA employees have been notified of imminent termination.
