X social media site down today / Vermont AG filed sixth anti-Trump lawsuit last week
By Paul Bean
On Saturday, Elon Musk called out Democrat funded organizations responsible for on-going nation-wide protests harassing Tesla dealerships.
Last week, protests of Vice President JD Vance’s ski trip to Vermont were planned by the Mad River Valley Chapter of Indivisible Project, one of the national organizations mentioned by Musk, Saturday. Their website says, “We’re a grassroots movement of thousands of local Indivisible groups with a mission to elect progressive leaders, rebuild our democracy, and defeat the Trump agenda.”
Musk is a tech-billionaire and founder of Tesla who oversees the recently created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Vermont AG files 6th anti-Trump lawsuit – In other Vermont-related protest against DOGE, Attorney General Charity Clark announced March 7 she had filed her sixth lawsuit, with other state attorneys general, against the Trump administration: a suit to stop mass firing of federal probationary employees, one of the DOGE cost-cutting measures. In the same release, Clark cites the other five:
- Birthright citizenship ban (EO) – A preliminary injunction was granted, blocking the ban, while the lawsuit proceeds.
- Federal funding freeze or “OMB Memo” – A preliminary injunction was granted yesterday, March 6, stopping the Trump administration from pausing billions of federal assistance funding to the states that sued.
- Freeze of National Institutes of Health (NIH) research grants – A preliminary injunction was granted on Wednesday, March 5, barring the Trump administration’s attempt to cut billions in funding for critical biomedical and public health research.
- Elon Musk and the “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE)’s unauthorized access to the Treasury Department’s systems – a preliminary injunction was granted, blocking access by DOGE while the lawsuit proceeds.
- Unlawful delegation of executive power to Elon Musk – The case will proceed to expedited discovery where the States will seek information regarding DOGE’s current operations and future plans. The States anticipate filing a motion for a preliminary injunction by mid-April.
A statement about the Treasury suit signed by Clark and other Attorneys General said, “As the richest man in the world, Elon Musk is not used to being told ‘no,’ but in our country, no one is above the law. The President does not have the power to give away our private information to anyone he chooses, and he cannot cut federal payments approved by Congress.”
X DOWN – Meanwhile, Musk’s social media platform X is currently down and the outage has not yet been explained by their X.
Indivisible – “IMRV is completely volunteer-driven,” says the Indivisable Chapter of Mad River Valley donation page with a link to an Act Blue donation link, the Democratic Party’s fundraising apparatus mentioned above by Musk. “Your donation will support the direct costs of our activism. We need to fight fascists and save Democracy!”
“Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent handed Musk access to the system that moves trillions of dollars,” says another section of Indivisible’s national website titled ‘Stop the Trump Musk Coup.’ “What’s the plan? Cut off funding for social programs? Leak financial data to his private empire?,” continues their website. “No one knows—because there is no oversight. No one elected this man. And yet, now he’s holding the government’s financial infrastructure hostage.”
“PLEASE DONATE TODAY before you forget.” IMRV wrote on their Facebook Page.”And guess what? No Donation is TOO LARGE!”
Comedian and political commentator Jimmy Dore mocked the protesters of Vice President JD Vance’s visit to Sugarbush last weekend for a ski trip with his family and accurately claimed their Democrat Party connections. “So they’re just horrible Democrats,” continued Jimmy. So that’s all this is. A ‘grassroots organization group… I bet they’re taking dark money…By grassroots they mean founded by congressional staffers with dark money, I think that’s what they mean by grassroots.”
A website photo of Indivisible members visiting with a staffer at the Vermont office of Sen. Peter Welch (D-Vermont) seems to validate at least some of Dore’s claims. As for Dore’s claims about dark money, here is a link to Indivisible’s national organizations financials.
Bernie-backing group behind February Tesla protest – Similar to current protests happening at Tesla dealerships around the country, on February 13, a group of Vermonters protested Elon Musk’s role in the Presidential administration. These protesters gathered outside the showroom in South Burlington and protests do not appear to be associated with any of the organizations mentioned by Musk, however one organizer posted prior to the event:
“This is a 50501 spin-off protest. There is no one organization or leader. This is spontaneous outrage-combustion. It will happen nationally starting next week. JOIN US.”
The 50501 (fifty fifty-one) Movement is a political activist group, which aims to unite citizens across the US in resistance to the Trump administration’s policies. The name “50501” stands for “50 protests. 50 states. 1 day.” The movement was created in response to what organisers view as “anti-democratic and illegal actions” by President Trump, including his executive orders and leadership decisions.
While Fifty Fifty One appears to be a relatively new organization with limited information on their funding or who is behind them, one of their partners is The Political Revolution PAC. “Our founders also started Sanders for President, the single largest online community dedicated to Senator Sanders’s presidential bid,” says the Political Revolution’s website.” Purely through the use of volunteers that group raised more than $10 million and reached millions of people per month….Our political action committee is dedicated to electing progressive candidates and supporting issue-focused efforts to transform our government so it represents all our citizens, not just the wealthy few.”

Yup. That’s them. Unfortunately, I’m surrounded by too many of them.
Lefty fruitcakes ! Of course California is leading this movement, or our A.G. would have nothing to do with it .
Do what you usually do, Lefties. Cancel bad things. Tesla vehicles were great in that they are electric and saved the planet until Musk started addressing government waste so ban the Tesla which means cars, charging stations and oh yes, solar panels.
It’s Really Rich that Vermont Attorney General, Charity Clark constantly declares that “no one is above the law” yet, she and the others elected to Vermont’s State Government continue to ignore and actively work against ALL Federal Laws and our Constitutions concerning illegal immigrants. Let’s be honest, Vermont is essentially a Sanctuary State.
Vermont welcomes illegal immigrants, houses them, feeds them, gives them driver’s licenses, allows them to vote in elections and gives them preferential treatment above the Vermont Taxpaying Citizens who are the ones paying for all the costs. All those elected to Vermont Government positions took an Oath to protect and serve Vermont Citizens yet, like Ms. Clark they serve their own personal feelings and agendas.
Please STOP with the fake virtue/moral signaling Ms. Clark. We know you hate the America First Trump Administration. We can all see clearly what you are doing with your taxpayer funded time and resources. Please don’t pretend you are serving Vermonters Best Interests or seeking to obey the Law. Your actions are clearly revealing your beliefs.
Hey so-called AG Clark this is your
IQ 🖕🏿period!!
Headline New York Times March 5, 2025: ” ActBlue, the Democratic Fund-Raising Powerhouse, Faces Internal Chaos. At least seven senior officials have left the group, setting off deep concerns about its future as it confronts scrutiny from congressional Republicans.”
I’d fix that headline to say the scrutiny is from investigations into conspiracies to commit fraud and racketeering, aka RICO. The evidence is clear, just need someone to actually prosecute the money crimes on all levels.
As far as DOGE goes, those who screech the loudest stand the most to lose. Interchanging the boogey-man of the day from Putin to Elon to Trump – doesn’t matter anymore to those who are fed up with adult-toddler brigades, endless smear campaigns, threats and acts of violence against all Americans that are also not prosecuted.
It doesn’t matter which side either. The bag of tricks is the same for both. The racist-bigot card is played by the right side too. We are not only racists, we are anti-semites and arab loyalists. We can’t exist peacefully in our own country anymore. For any natural born or legalized American, how dare we demand our own country flourish over any other country or foreign State? How dare we demand to know how our taxpayer money is spent?
No honor among thieves and reprobates.
You said it all Melissa!
This minority group who seems to want communism to be the end all in Vermont certainly has Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS), and are quivering in their boots knowing that they are failing miserably in all their efforts to pervert our beautiful state.
We are too many….they need to go back to their crevices to await their punishment which is coming soon.
We are so Astro turf and people don’t even realize they are being manipulated and played, it’s quite sad and a testament to the power of propaganda and people believing everything they are told.
If you work with the public in retail, and it says something is available on the internet, but it’s not when they get there, they refuse to believe reality. Sadly most times it stolen, and people who steal don’t tell the company what they are taking. It’s amazing to witness, and I myself fell prey to with the gps once, doing something I normally NEVER would have done but the gps said it was just down this goat path, embarrassing as all hell.
