Yesterday, Reps. Jasmine Crockett, Maxine Waters, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, and others, joined a large rally outside of the US Treasury building—to protest illegal access to the department’s sensitive payment systems.
It’s the second day in a row Dems held a rally. The crowd of hundreds loudly chanted, “stop the coup!” Rep. Maxwell Frost said, “We are here today because an unelected billionaire and his team have been given full and unfettered access to our taxpayer money and our government.”
This afternoon, Senate Dems plan to hold the floor in protest for up to 30 hours. The goal is to delay the confirmation vote for Trump’s unhinged nominee to lead the OMB—Project 2025 architect Russell Vought.
Unelected maga cult members are running around acting like they rule the world—committing unlawful acts, with unchecked power. That has to end right now.
Democrats must do everything they can to thwart this ongoing coup.
If Kamala Harris or Joe Biden had done these things, Republicans would have pulled every move in the book to try and stop them. Dems should do the same.
Halt every nominee, stall every bill, file every lawsuit under the sun, and call for impeachment and removal at a constant. Every single day, there needs to be some sort of major action.
And our Watchdog Coalition will continue doing our part as well. Starting today, we’re expanding our contact Congress program to demand support for the Jeffries and Schumer bill, to block unlawful access to the Treasury Department’s payment systems.
We’re also still pushing back against Trump’s worst cabinet nominees, having sent more than 140,000 letters to Senators in opposition to them—and we aren’t stopping now.
With one of the largest social media followings in politics, we’ll be sharing this post with millions of folks, to sound the alarm about the coup far and wide.
We are pro-democracy independent journalists who believe that helping to organize the opposition against this tyranny, is also our responsibility.
