Working families can’t trust Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
So many Americans are afraid of identity theft or having their personal information sold to big companies just to make a profit.
And now, Elon Musk, an unelected billionaire, is seizing the reins of our federal government and playing fast and loose with Americans’ private information. It’s horrifying.
Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency has already sent federal employees emails encouraging them to resign from their jobs. The New York Times reports that Musk is wreaking havoc on multiple government agencies.
Musk’s government takeover is extremely concerning. His crusade to cut spending is going unchecked, and his team is attacking federal programs that are absolutely vital.
Musk bragged about dismantling the government’s top agency for global humanitarian aid, tweeting that he “spent the weekend feeding USAID into the wood chipper.”
They have already infiltrated the Department of Treasury, casting aside the agency’s top officials and even barring Democratic members of Congress from entering the building.
Now, they’re demanding access to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services systems that provide vital health care support for so many families in New Mexico and across the country.
These actions are illegal and unconstitutional. When Congress appropriates funds, the White House does not have the power to override that decision. And an unelected billionaire like Musk certainly has no right to Americans’ private information.
We’re making our voices heard and fighting back. Multiple states and organizations have filed dozens of lawsuits against the Trump administration seeking to block Musk’s government takeover, including New Mexico’s Attorney General. This week, hundreds of protesters showed up in Santa Fe to oppose Trump, Musk, and the chaos this administration is causing every single day.
It may feel like they’re getting away with this – but the world is watching. We must stay informed. If we keep shining a light and standing together, we can fight back and win.
