Summary
Congressional Democrats are escalating efforts to block Elon Musk’s influence over federal financial systems, rallying outside the Treasury Department and proposing the “Stop the Steal” Act to restrict unauthorized access.
Lawmakers accused Musk and Trump of a “hostile takeover” and vowed to obstruct Trump’s nominees, including his budget chief.
Protesters chanted “Lock him up!” as Democrats warned Musk could misuse sensitive taxpayer data.
Despite their push, passing legislation will be difficult with Republican control of Congress.
Why isn’t obstruction the default response to a fascist agenda?
Why isn’t it? Why confirm these nominees? The Democrats have to be doing something OFFICIAL right now. They’re sitting on their asses. I can’t imagine what they’re thinking.
They’re thinking, “This fascist regime is a great fundraising opportunity.”
