Jack,

Democrats had a chance to put Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in charge of the House
Oversight Committee—the committee responsible for keeping Elon Musk’s
authoritarian power grabs in check. Instead, they handed it to Rep. Gerry
Connolly, a Democrat who just rolled over for Musk.

🚨 Musk’s Latest Overreach:
His so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is forcing federal
employees to submit weekly reports—or face termination. This isn’t efficiency.
It’s intimidation straight out of a dictatorship.

😡 Connolly’s Weak Response:
Instead of fighting back, Connolly is advising compliance. Instead of calling
out this abuse, he’s telling workers to just go along with it.

🤷🏼 What Could Have Been:
AOC is a fighter. She would’ve used this platform to take on Musk, Trump, and
their billionaire power plays. Instead, we got another Democrat unwilling to
stand up.

This is why Daily Kos doesn’t just cheer for Democrats. We demand
accountability—especially when so-called leaders refuse to take on Musk, Trump,
and the corrupt forces stacking the deck against working people.

🔥 This is our moment. But we need you.

Trump, Musk, and their allies want you uninformed. They want you exhausted.
That’s how they win. But we’re here to fight back. To expose the truth. To make
sure progressives have the power to push back.

💥 We need 1,000 readers to step up today—can we count on you? Donate $5, $25,
or whatever you can right now to help us fight back.

We don’t fight for a party. We fight for progress. We fight for the truth. And
we won’t back down.
