Protests against DOGE every other day in Washington DC
Washington DC continues to see almost daily protests against President Donald Trump and his flurry of austerity measures, layoffs and executive orders.
The nation's seventh largest metropolitan area is bearing the greatest impact of Trump's moves, and residents of Washington DC don't have many options for help, as they are not allowed any representation inside Congress.
In Washington DC, almost 45% of all workers are employed by the federal government, and 20% of the entire Federal workforce is located in the DC metropolitan area.
Protests against DOGE specifically are occurring almost every other day. Trump has succeeded in finding someone almost as controversial as he is in Elon Musk, who has become a major target of Democratic Party rage.
I just think the whole thing is a scam to begin with. You don't need a department of government efficiency.
Those kinds of things can be solved. We do need to work on them.
But this whole thing, with … Musk in charge, It's just…, I don't have the words. It's ridiculous.

I don't trust anything he does… going after our personal information. Why?
… Do your job … an oath to the country and to us, not to Trump.

Trump's plan to flood the zone with an overwhelming number of moves has succeeded in paralyzing the Democratic Party, whose lack of a cohesive response has led to their lowest approval ratings in decades.
Right now, they're not doing anything. I would welcome all actions they could take. It would be nice, but they're all Republican (so) that's not going to happen.
There's so many laws being broken and agencies being ripped apart, so many illegal actions.

The nation's financial markets have seen their worst days since the COVID-19 pandemic, while stagflation, a combination of recession and inflation, appears like a certainty in the near future as Trump's second term continues to shock and divide.
