The most dangerous part isn't the dramatic moments. It's the quiet compromises, the small rationalizations, the 'practical' decisions.
Democracy erodes through a thousand tiny choices, not one big one.

Elon Musk's 'Department of Government Efficiency' is neither a department nor efficient—it's a hostile takeover of our public institutions. Democracy is not a private enterprise.

Elon Musk's unprecedented access to federal operations raises serious ethical and legal questions. Our government should be accountable to the people, not a select few.

When did we vote for Elon Musk to run our government? An unelected billionaire now holds unprecedented power over federal agencies. This isn't democracy. #MuskOverreach

DC policy veteran here. Let me be clear:
This isn't just about tax returns. It's about:
- Your medical deductions
- Your child care information
- Your charitable donations
- Your business dealings
Everything you've ever reported to the IRS.
Time to pay attention.
