Protests taking place across the United States against Trump/Musk coup

Washington, February 18 (RHC)-- In news from Washington, DC, the Internal Revenue Service has become the latest federal agency to be targeted by Elon Musk and his unelected team at DOGE, the Department of Government Efficiency. 

The Washington Post reports Musk’s team is seeking access to an IRS system that contains detailed financial information about every taxpayer, business and nonprofit in the country.

A federal court hearing was held in New York after 19 states sued Musk for illegally accessing sensitive information at the Treasury Department.

New York Attorney General Letitia James said: “No one elected Elon Musk and his minions, and no one has allowed him to have access to this information.  This is a violation of the separation of powers.  The United States Congress, the United States Senate has the sole discretion in having the power of the purse, and not Elon Musk.”
