[ [link removed] ]Rachell Maddow: Democratic members of the House and Senate stood with
protestors gathered outside the Washington headquarters of USAID to
denounce the Trump administration illegally shuttering that agency.
[ [link removed] ]JAMIE RASKIN: Elon Musk didn't create USAID, and he doesn't have the
power to destroy it. And who's going to stop him? We are! We're going to
stop him...We don't have a fourth branch of government called 'Elon Musk'

After months of stunned confusion, Axios reports Democrats are FINALLY
"unleashing a wave of angry spectacles to show they are doing something to
fight."

MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow reports: "Democratic members of the House and Senate
stood with protestors gathered outside the Washington headquarters of
USAID to denounce the Trump administration illegally shuttering that
agency."

And former Biden Press Secretary Jen Psaki says, "It hasn’t been very
clear what Democrats are doing to push back — and that’s a problem. But
the good news is, we have started to see some signs of life."

Today, Democrats will protest at the Treasury Department – ground zero for
Elon Musk’s coup.

When Democrats FIGHT, they deserve our support. This will also send a
message to their colleagues to get with it and follow their lead.

[ [link removed] ]Can you chip in $10 to support Jamie Raskin, Chris Murphy, Ilhan Omar
and 10 Democrats in total who showed up with protestors and drew tons of
TV cameras yesterday. Chip in here.

Politico writes, "Democrats have leverage against Musk. They’re girding to
use it."

At the protest outside USAID, Jamie Raskin declared, "Elon Musk didn't
create USAID, and he doesn't have the power to destroy it. And who's going
to stop him? We are! We're going to stop him...We don't have a fourth
branch of government called 'Elon Musk'."

Rep. Ilhan Omar warned, "This is what the beginning of dictatorship looks
like. When you gut the constitution and install yourself as the sole
power, that is how dictators are made."

Sen. Brian Schatz called out Trump and Musk's blatant lawlessness: "You
cannot wave away an agency you don’t like or disagree with by executive
order or literally storming into the building and taking over the
servers."

This morning, after consulting with former Treasury officials, we sent
this [ [link removed] ]"worst case scenarios" memo to Democratic offices showing the
potential impacts of Musk's hostile takeover on everything from Social
Security to the debt ceiling.

Which is to say that this moment demands courage. These Democrats and
others who were at USAID yesterday are showing it. Others are watching to
see how the public reacts. So now it’s our turn.

[ [link removed] ]Chip in $10 now to show 10 Democrats that when they fight with
backbone, we fight with them!

Thanks for being part of this fight.
