The last report for the state university system in Missouri showed $6.5 billion in economic impacts and 69,000 jobs. Trump and Musk are threatening that success. That is the message that needs to be shared in every state.

The breach extends further, giving Musk’s associates access to systems related to employee onboarding, job performance reviews, and healthcare management. This raises serious concerns about potential violations of federal privacy laws, including those protecting health information under HIPAA.

Elon Musk’s staffers have gained unauthorized access to sensitive government employee data by installing a server at the OPM. They now have access to USAJOBS, the federal hiring portal where applicants submit personal details such as Social Security numbers, home addresses, and employment histories.

No matter who is president, we cannot turn our backs on the unfinished work of equality across our society.
Many Americans aren't resigned to Trump 2.0, and will keep fighting for equality
We do not intend to be cowed. We can do the challenging work of fighting inflation and building a sustainable economy while still being fair and inclusive of all people.
