++Hannah, Female++ I'm a federal worker. I have a lot of friends who just lost their job. I could lose my job any second. So a lot of people are worried that the people in power are acting selfishly and the people in power that have the ability to do anything aren't doing anything yet.
++Mark, Male++ The trans people that we were friends with that are going to be affected by a lot of this stuff that's happening right now. And if, you know, they're starting with the most marginalized people are the places they have some amount of control, but it's only going to get worse, in my estimation.

++Amy, Female++ Elon Musk was not elected and the whole doge thing is a big joke, but except that they're ruining the government and they're causing a lot of people to suffer needlessly just so they can keep their tax cuts.
++Bob, Male++ People are starting to realize that they do have a voice in government and they can't just sit back and watch a bunch of unelected officials and corrupt convicted felons take over our government. 

01:45 ((ATMO - ''Down with project 2025'' ))
