Washington, February 6 (RHC)-- In Washington, DC, Democratic lawmakers joined hundreds of protesters outside the Treasury Department to denounce Elon Musk’s “hostile takeover” of the federal civilian bureaucracy.  The lawmakers were barred from entering the Treasury building. 

Massachusetts Congressmember Ayanna Pressley told reporters: “There’s a sign back there that says 'DOGE actually means dangerous oligarchs grab everything.'  Well, ain’t that the truth?  I am so tired of these billionaire boys and their grubby little hands grabbing at everything.  Hands off our bodies!  Hands off our data! Hands off our tax refunds!  Hands off our Social Security checks!  Hands off our Constitution!  Hands off our democracy!  Hands off!”
