TELL CONGRESS: Musk, with his right-wing policy agenda and billions in defense contracts, has now officially come to power under Trump. He’s ready to use DOGE to slash Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security — and bring hardship to all Americans. Sign the petition: Don’t let Musk and Trump destroy Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security!

Hi,

Elon Musk’s “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) is officially in power. Axios has dubbed the new DOGE committee in Congress as the “most chaotic,”1 in large part because Marjorie Taylor Greene is chairing the committee.

But DOGE won’t just be chaotic, Musk’s project will be crushing for the American people. He wants to cut trillions from the federal budget — that means slashing Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, public education, climate policies, and the federal workforce.

Musk has promised his cuts will cause “hardship,”2 while millionaires and billionaires get more tax cuts. Congress can stop this and protect America’s most critical government programs.

Sign the petition: Urge Congress to block Musk’s DOGE cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, and much more.

An unelected man worth $400 billion3 shouldn’t have the power to gut everything from healthcare to public education. Yet, that’s exactly what’s happening as Musk takes power.

Every public program and federal agency that benefits the people is on the chopping block as part of Musk’s dangerous right-wing project. The rich will get richer while everyone else suffers unless Congress stops reckless DOGE cuts led by Musk, Trump, and Greene.

Sign the petition: Urge leaders to stand against Musk’s disastrous “Department of Government Efficiency.”

Thanks for taking action,

Joey and the team at Demand Progress
