The plan, accordingly, is to show up and protest at the Treasury Department on Tuesday night, 5 p.m. local time, to draw attention to Musk's control over the federal government's payment system control that Musk claims he has already used to illegally suspend congressionally authorized payments to religious groups that assist with refugee resettlement and to completely dismantle USAID, the federal agency responsible for international humanitarian assistance.
I heard about it on a webinar w/ Indivisible last night, but was waiting to see confirmation in writing, before I posted it.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
