Over 10,000 protesters gathered in New York City on Presidents’ Day to oppose Donald Trump’s administration and Elon Musk’s leadership of the Department of Government Efficiency. Demonstrators expressed concern about DOGE’s access to Americans' data and its dismantling of federal agencies. Some accused Musk of consolidating power for financial gain. Supporters of Trump and Musk praise DOGE’s efforts to eliminate corruption and inefficiency. Critics argue its methods will increase corruption and endanger national security.
