We were just told that they won’t let us in. They are denying entry to 2 dozen members of Congress. Elon Musk has all our private information & we have no idea what he’s doing with it. This is happening completely behind closed doors. HELL NO. It’s illegal. We demand oversight!

50501 is a decentralized rapid response to the anti-democratic, destructive, and, in many cases, illegal actions being undertaken by the Trump administration. Can I count on the senator to support us either in person or by sharing and elevating our movement?

And don't forget: RFK Jr. claimed that his brain worm caused his cognitive faculties to be impaired—but the context was he said it meant lower earning potential, and therefore his ex-wife was entitled to less child support. But he's good to lead HHS?!

A witch hunt has begun at the FBI. Employees are required to provide information by Tuesday and are being encouraged to report on their coworkers. The FBI questionnaire asks agents about their roles in various cases, including whether they made arrests or appeared in court, among other details.

‼️NEW: All government agencies have been told to institute a transgender bathroom ban in federal buildings no later than Friday 1/31/2025 at 5pm EST.
It also demands funding to be pulled from anything that relates to transgender people, update paperwork to only ask for sex at birth, and more.

The president can veto or support legislation. He can make recommendations to Congress. But he doesn't have the unilateral right to change laws.
Trump has very little respect for the rule of law & our Constitution. He is moving us toward authoritarianism.
We must stop him.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.
Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.
But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.
They aren’t firing for a reason.

Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉
