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.

    Problem here that comes first and foremost… we’re threatening to block trumps appointments? Sorry none of his appointments should have deserved a single democratic vote. If you could block them… why the hell are we confirming the DUI initiative in charge of the military, and a medicine denying Health agent.

    I can’t name a single trump pic that’s even close to qualified… and all of them should be fought every step of the way on their own merits… regardless of what musk is doing.
