“We were denied access to the Treasury Bldg. We will enter because we need to provide oversight to Elon Musk and his team. We don't know what they are doing behind these closed doors.”
No one elected Elon, and our Congress Democrats are denied entry? Seriously?

Feels like “we the people” need to hit the streets. The elected D’s seem frozen, our courts move too slow and history shows Hitler dismantled the German economy in 2 months-time isn’t on our side. With so much happening fast what/ where should we protest? Experts please offer actionable suggestions.
