[ [link removed] ]Urge Congress to investigate Elon Musk!

Friend,

Elon Musk’s “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) has had a busy
week. Since Monday, Musk and his team that includes recent high school
graduates (without background checks) have gained access to highly
restricted government records on millions of federal employees. They’ve
also gained access to key data systems within the Department of Health and
Human Services, including Medicare and Medicaid records.

[ [link removed] ]We must demand that Congress investigate and put a stop to Musk’s
dismantling of federal agencies! Add your name to the petition to urge
your Member of Congress to act! >>

Our movement to oppose Musk and his villainy is making headway. A federal
judge recently ordered limits on DOGE staffers’ access to records in the
Treasury Department’s payment system. This win will help protect the
privacy of millions of Americans.

It’s a start, but we have to keep the pressure on to stop Elon and DOGE’s
rampage against the federal government. As Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.)
said this week, “an unelected, unaccountable billionaire with expansive
conflicts of interest, deep ties to China, and an indiscreet ax to grind
against perceived enemies is hijacking our nation’s most sensitive data.”

Thank you for your advocacy to fight to protect our institutions from
these illegal intrusions.

Friend,

It’s only been two weeks since Trump returned to the White House, but his
“advisor” Elon Musk has already seized control of major government
agencies – and he’s tearing them apart from the inside.

At the stroke of Trump’s pen, the newly created “Department of Government
Efficiency” (DOGE) has begun its aggressive restructuring of federal
agencies, taking control of critical institutions like the Office of
Personnel Management (OPM) and the U.S. Agency for International
Development (USAID). Under Musk’s control, DOGE is impeding oversight,
sidelining career experts, and handing unprecedented power to unelected
operatives loyal to his corporate interests.

[ [link removed] ]Congress must investigate now – before it’s too late. Sign the petition
demanding immediate action. >>

Musk’s so-called “efficiency reforms” are nothing more than a hostile
takeover of our democracy. Under his direction:

🚨 USAID has been gutted. Staff have been ordered to stay home, while DOGE
moves to shut down the agency entirely. This is the backbone of America’s
global humanitarian aid – wiped out with a single directive.

🚨 The U.S. Treasury’s financial data is now in Musk’s hands. Reports
indicate that DOGE operatives have been granted unprecedented access to
the confidential information within the federal payment system, raising
grave concerns about who controls Social Security, government payrolls,
and critical financial transactions.

🚨 Unqualified cronies are replacing experienced civil servants. Musk has
appointed a group of sycophants, including recent high school graduates
and personal allies, to oversee billion-dollar programs. Career
professionals are being purged while the government is run like a rogue
Silicon Valley startup.

This is not the normal churn of a new administration. This is a full-scale
coup by a hostile billionaire, and the consequences are chilling. We are
watching in real time as the foundations of our democracy are gutted and
dismantled by oligarchs who see government as just another way to enrich
themselves.

Congress must act immediately. Investigations must begin into Musk’s
access to confidential data, his reckless dismantling of federal agencies,
and the dangerous precedent he is setting.

[ [link removed] ]We need every representative in Congress to hear the alarm bells
ringing. Add your name now to demand urgent congressional investigations
into Elon Musk’s abuses of power. >>

Let’s do this together.
