Protests Against Government Sabotage

A significant protest took place outside the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., aimed at supporting federal workers and opposing the Trump administration's actions perceived as a dismantling of government institutions. Influential figures like Reverend William Barber spoke passionately about the resilience of government workers, emphasizing their essential role in a democratic administration. Protesters argued that the administration's claims of boosting efficiency contradicted the reality of paying people not to work, which was depicted as a tactic of fear. The protest highlighted a growing movement to resist what is seen as an authoritarian approach by the government, beginning with an attack on civil service workers.
