Summary
Hundreds of protesters, joined by Democratic lawmakers, rallied outside the Treasury Department, condemning Elon Musk’s “hostile takeover” of federal financial systems.
Lawmakers, including Maxine Waters and Ayanna Pressley, attempted to enter the building but were turned away.
Treasury officials later claimed that Musk’s team had “read-only” access to coded payment data, but concerns persist over security risks and misuse of taxpayer information.
Protesters fear Musk’s influence is part of a broader effort to dismantle government institutions and exploit federal systems for financial gain.
Sorry, but none of this matters. Republicans are all powerful now. They have the White House, the House, the Senate, SCOTUS, the Fed, the Treasury. For the next two years, they can do whatever they want and act however they like. The voters walked right into this with eyes wide open. I don’t want to hear the excuses and cries. America is just getting what it voted for.

Yes, it matter to us, but it doesn’t matter to them. And there’s nothing we can do anything about it. That’s the point. They have the power to do whatever they want right now, every branch of the government, and their supporters and voters with find any excuse to defend their actions no matter how wrong those actions are, because it’s “necessary.”

Not being defeatist, just a realist. Judges don’t matter when SCOTUS is in Trump’s pocket. Republicans know they have these two years to dismantle the government and set it back decades while they have literally all the power. They have everything they need to get it done.
This is what happens when some people choose to stay home on election day because “the Democrats are not doing enough for Palestinians.” Now watch what happens to Palestinians.
