[ [link removed] ]MSNBC'S CHRIS HAYES: This is really important. We are finally starting
to see people get up off the mat and fight back.

Over two dozen Democratic lawmakers rallied thousands in front of the U.S.
Treasury building Tuesday, DEMANDING an end to Elon Musk’s coup against
the American people.

Chris Hayes told viewers, "This is really important. We are finally
starting to see people get up off the mat and fight back."

Senator Chris Murphy and House freshman class president Yassamin Ansari
promised to use EVERY TOOL at their disposal to tie up Congress until the
coup ended. (Indivisible’s co-leader called out Schumer for not yet doing
the same – minutes after Schumer spoke! Bold!)

Jeff Merkley and other Senate Dems are right now "holding the floor" in
the Senate to try to stop confirmation of Russell Vought, who the New York
Times calls "the architect of the ultraconservative Project 2025 policy
agenda" and who is tied to Trump's directive last week to temporarily
freeze trillions of dollars of federal spending.

Those Democrats who FIGHT in this moment deserve our support. Getting
their back also sends a message to their colleagues to follow their lead.

[ [link removed] ]Can you chip to support Jamie Raskin, Jasmine Crockett, Chris Murphy,
Yassamin Ansari, Elizabeth Warren, Maxwell Frost, and over two dozen
Democrats in total who made national news by joining with protestors to
fight back against Musk’s occupation of the national Treasury? Chip in
here. (And please pass to others.)

After months of rudderless response to the Trump/Musk threat, the
Democratic tone is changing…

[ [link removed] ]HUGE: On Tuesday thousands of people joined the 'Nobody Elected Elon'
protest in front of the Treasury Dept to fight back against the corrupt
billionaires trying to steal from us. These are some of the strongest
moments from top Democrats.

SENATOR ELIZABETH WARREN (MA-SEN)

[ [link removed] ]ELIZABETH WARREN: A few months ago, Elon Musk spent $280 million to buy
an election for Donald Trump. Now Elon Musk is here to collect on his
investment. He is here to seize power for himself. We are here to fight
back.

REPRESENTATIVE JAMIE RASKIN (MD-08)

[ [link removed] ]JAMIE RASKIN: Do you want Elon Musk controlling your parents' Social
Security checks? Do you want Elon Musk controlling the flow of money to
the red states or the blue states? Do you want Elon Musk controlling
congressional appropriations to disaster areas around America?

REPRESENTATIVE MAXWELL FROST (FL-10)

[ [link removed] ]MAXWELL FROST: You mean to tell me a man worth over $400 billion is
going to decide what happens with my grandma's Social Security check?
There's absolutely no oversight as to what he's doing. What's to stop him
from stealing taxpayer money?

REPRESENTATIVE MELANIE STANSBURY (NM-01)

[ [link removed] ]MELANIE STANSBURY: We are not going to let an unelected private citizen
steal our data. We are not going to let Elon Musk steal our country, and
we are not going to let Donald Trump dismantle everything that America
stands for, because this is our country.

SENATOR CHRIS MURPHY (CT-SEN)

[ [link removed] ]CHRIS MURPHY: We don't pledge allegiance to the billionaires. We don't
pledge allegiance to Elon Musk. We don't pledge allegiance to the creepy
22-year-olds working for Elon Musk. We pledge allegiance to the United
States of America. 

REPRESENTATIVE DAVE MIN (CA-47)

[ [link removed] ]DAVE MIN: We're here because Elon Musk, an unelected billionaire, is
repeatedly and blatantly breaking the law, including by usurping our
authorities, the legislative and appropriations authority expressly
reserved to Congress.

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.

The memo makes clear the severity of this crisis. We are in a moment that
demands courage. These Democrats and more who spoke at Treasury yesterday
are showing it. Others are watching to see how the public reacts. So now
it’s our turn.

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

Thanks for being part of this fight.
