Trump and Elon Musk tried to force federal workers into quitting with an illegal, reckless ultimatum. Gerry led 100+ House Democrats in demanding this unlawful order be revoked — making it clear that federal employees do not have to respond to Musk’s threats. And guess what? We won. The U.S. Office of Personnel Management officially backed down, rescinding Musk’s outrageous attempt to purge civil servants.
This is why our fight matters. But it’s also why the target on Gerry’s back is bigger than ever.
Just this week, Trump held his first official Cabinet meeting. And guess who was there, answering questions since he was the one in charge? Elon Musk. A man who holds no official position. A billionaire who wasn’t elected by anyone. The writing is on the wall — Elon is running the show.
The Trump-Musk chaos is just beginning. But we’ve already proven that when we fight back, we can win. Let’s keep that momentum going.
