Donald Trump and his unelected friend, Elon Musk—the richest guy in the world—are essentially stealing Americans’ money and using it to fund trillions of dollars in tax breaks for their friends and other billionaires.

Everyday Americans are paying the price. We are seeing the consequences in real time. Foreign aid frozen. NIH grants slashed, cutting off life-saving research. Construction projects stopped. Programs like Head Start shut down. .

But this isn’t a done deal. We can push back—and we have to be smart about it. That means increasing public pressure, holding them accountable, and making sure people know exactly what’s happening. Whether it’s calling your representative, showing up to a protest, or fueling the movement with grassroots donations, every action helps build momentum.

The Trump administration and Elon Musk are counting on building up this sense of inevitability so they can flood the zone to get away with anything they want. I think they are counting on us giving up—but inaction is truly not an option. There is just too much at stake.

I know things have been really hard and scary and chaotic, but the big lesson from these past few weeks is that no one is above the law and no one is politically immune from doing unpopular things. We are not powerless.

It may not be right away. It may take time. But we’re going to make a difference. Together.

Mahalo,
