This is a coup attempt. This is an intimidation tactic. This is not the time to play nice because the other side is playing to hold power forever. They aren't worried about reelections because if we do not help stop them now, there won't be future elections.

Decorum & deference won't save us.

These are clear warning signals that American democracy is in immediate peril.
- Muzzling public agencies from sharing information with Americans,
- Creating the DOGE committee out of thin air with no true org structure or congressional oversight,
