Team,

The news just keeps getting worse.

First, we learned Musk’s DOGE operation is actively forcing mass layoffs inside the Department of Homeland Security — leaving immigration systems, cybersecurity defenses, and other critical protections vulnerable.

Now, we’re finding out that Musk’s companies, like Starlink, have been quietly integrated into the IT backbone of the White House and the executive branch — controlling sensitive communications, systems, and infrastructure.

This is not " efficiency ." This is a billionaire takeover of our federal government. And Trump is letting it happen — because it helps him consolidate power without accountability.

Gerry isn't standing for it. As Ranking Member of the Oversight Committee, he's launching new investigations into Musk’s influence over government systems and the dangerous dismantling of federal agencies like DHS.

But every time Gerry steps up, the target on his back grows bigger. Trump, Musk, and their MAGA allies know exactly who’s leading the charge to expose their corruption — and they will stop at nothing to try to silence him. We cannot let them win. If you’re with Gerry in this fight, can you please chip in now to help fuel his investigations and defend democracy before it’s too late? [[link removed]]

They’re tearing down our institutions piece by piece. It’s up to all of us to fight back while we still can.
