Here’s some advice for those outside our coalition, as the administration is actively leading a witch hunt for resistance members. If you’re a government employee, avoid using government devices to coordinate. Do not use standard messaging apps on Android or Apple devices.

Once upon a time a pseudo-hillbilly went to an Ivy League law school. Later in the story he pretended he didn't know any of the things they teach you there about the law, which had become inconvenient to his oligarchs and sordid ambitions.

The CFPB was dismantled over the weekend, with all activities suspended, its funding reduced to zero, and its headquarters temporarily closed—removing a crucial layer of oversight for consumer-facing financial companies. Staff members ordered to cease all ‘supervision and examination activities.

📢 Today at 2:30 PM ET, Senator Markey, climate advocates, union workers, and Members of Congress will rally outside the EPA to demand the Trump administration restore funding for vital clean air, water, and climate programs. Our president, @gretchentg.bsky.social, will be a key speaker! 🌎✊ Join us!
Press Conference - Defend EPA Programs and Staff · Climate Action Campaign
On Thursday, February 6, 2025 at 2:30PM ET, Senator Markey, climate and environmental advocates, union workers, and members of Congress will hold a press conference outside the Environmental Protection Agency to demand that the Trump administration end its unlawful cut-off of funding to Environmental Protection Agency programs for clean air, clean water, and climate action that were authorized and appropriated by Congress.
Despite court orders requiring the restart of funding, Trump administration officials have failed to release money for Inflation Reduction Act and clean school bus programs as required by law—leaving communities without resources to fight dangerous pollution. While this unconstitutional funding seizure is taking place, unelected billionaire Elon Musk has taken over the federal government in order to target the EPA employees who keep our communities safe.
At this press conference, lawmakers, workers, and advocates will highlight programs still affected by illegal funding cut-offs and attacks on our democracy, as well as demand that Musk cease his baseless attacks on the EPA’s work to tackle pollution and protect public health and the environment.

The Democrats’ role is to keep the opposition united and raise public awareness. They can’t block legislation or EOs on their own. They must look ahead to the next election while the GOP governs and likely wreaks havoc.
