I did a walkthrough, here’s a timelapse. This is probably the biggest demo in D.C. so far post-inauguration, brought together by the 50501 Movement which originated on Reddit.
Everyone was chanting “fire Elon!” while I was filming this.

Exactly. Why do you think Republicans are complying? We get death threats just for tweeting. What do you think the people with power in Washington are going through? For starters, exile and primary challenger promises from Trump/WH and most likely violent threats from his supporters.

“A combination of the rich and the ignorant, [John] Adams noted, could empower a demagogue at the expense of democracy,” George Thomas writes.
The Other Fear of the Founders
America’s early leaders were worried not only about demagogues like Donald Trump, but about the rise of an antidemocratic, wealthy elite that goads such men on.

Middle School students at a US base in Germany had a peaceful protest. This makes me proud. (I was once a school student on a US base in Germany and don’t know if I would have been that brave) wapo.st/3QbIcl9
Hegseth’s visit to U.S. base in Germany met with student walkout
The civil disobedience by dozens of middle-schoolers — and some adults — was aimed at the Trump administration’s rollback of DEI initiatives.

Musk’s staffers are heading to the Pentagon, while Trump continues his attempted purge of Washington. He recently announced on Truth Social that he is appointing himself as head of the Kennedy Center and plans to remove multiple members from its board of trustees.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Why would a billionaire like Elon Musk be interested in Social Security payment systems? He’s not retiring anytime soon. The only logical answer is that he sees an opportunity to exploit the system!

So, what's the budget of DOGE? Is it part of the government? Is it independent? What are the guidelines, if any, that govern its reach and authority? Did people vote for Musk or Trump? Also, how does a private citizen have access to our Treasury's federal payment system?
Billionaire Elon Musk and his DOGE agents were reportedly granted full access to the Treasury’s federal payments system, and nobody knows to what end.
