Friend,
As U.S. Rep. Jamie Raskin says, “There is no fourth branch of government
called Elon Musk.”
And yet the unelected richest man in the world, Elon Musk, is attempting
to shut down government agencies, take over our federal payment systems
(he now has access to your social security number, by the way), and bring
our government to a grinding halt – including the government employees who
are our air traffic controllers. [1, 2, 3, 4]
[ [link removed] ]→ Tell your Member of Congress that they must use every procedural tool
they have to stop this unprecedented overreach by an unelected oligarch.
It’s beyond time to stop Trump’s dangerous agenda.
Elon Musk, the man who gave $288 MILLION to help elect Donald Trump and
then performed a Nazi salute during inauguration activities that we all
saw, is attempting a full-on assault on democracy. [ [link removed] ] Trump and his team
have halted government funding authorized by Congress, abandoning the
checks and balances on which our government depends. Trump has given
access to private information to non-governmental actors, breaking
discretion, which is key to our security. In short, Trump is acting like a
king, but we don’t have kings in the United States, we have three separate
and co-equal branches of government.
Why is Elon Musk and Trump’s massive overreach such a threat to our
families, communities, and economy? Thrown into all the chaos, the basics
of government are ceasing to work — everything from our Medicaid and
healthcare systems to critical FAA warning systems, to eliminating entire
departments that oversee everything from water safety to investigating
sexual assault on college campuses.
Elon Musk has not gone through any of the proper channels to access
classified information - especially at the Treasury Department! [ [link removed] ]Elon
Musk doesn’t know what he’s doing, and he wasn’t elected, and Donald Trump
isn’t a king.
The Trump White House is causing chaos and wreaking havoc on programs,
systems, and agencies that have real-world consequences and have been set
up to assist the American people. He’s having a toddler’s temper tantrum
on a national stage and it’s time for Congress to step up and remind Trump
that Congress has control of the national purse.
We need all of our elected officials, including every member of Congress,
to stand up to Donald Trump. He won by a narrow margin; Trump doesn’t have
the mandate he pretends to have. [ [link removed] ] And our members of Congress must
stand up to him.
[ [link removed] ]→ Don’t forget to add your name to our letter calling Congress to fight
back with every ounce of power granted to them when they took their oaths
of office.
There is no time for business as usual: We need Congress to double down
and do the jobs they were hired to do for the people in our country.
Thank you for taking action in this very difficult time in history.
