Democrats quick to tweet about all of his illegal acts but do very little else.
You are all so weak

shethadamntruth.bsky.social•22 days ago

🎤Musk is the key to stopping some of this. He has been the driving force from every angle of this chaos. What will it take? Do we need to come to the capital?

QUESTION AGAIN PLEASE

so how have your resisted him and stood up for the people today? this week? how will you next week? will you? there’s a lot of talking at the People and we can’t do anything now. y’all can. so what’s it gonna be?

nathanhardee.bsky.social•21 days ago

People complaining about “what are you doing about it??” Haven’t noticed that we’re years too late at this point 😂

Denial of reality: it’s too late

jimraff.bsky.social•22 days ago

File a law suit. Put it in the courts. Support the IGs.

Or just write a nice letter which I am sure president musk will respond to.

renaissancemoms.bsky.social•21 days ago

Or better still they'd impeach that mother f-er before he goes full Hitler and we plunge ourselves into fascism and civil war to stabilize this nation. Time to fight fire with fire. An assault on democracy is a 5 alarm call to arms. He MUST be stopped no matter the cost.

toni0211.bsky.social•22 days ago

So what is the plan from Congress?!

zen1924.bsky.social•21 days ago

We're in the middle of a coup happening as you write your post. We are reading blow by blow of all the agencies Trump has taken over and is pursuing. As well as Musk taking control of our Treasury and all the data

atillia.bsky.social•21 days ago

I pray that behind closed doors you and your Dem colleagues are actively doing something to stop this coup.

konstantlee420.bsky.social•21 days ago

Ma'am we are about to be robbed. What is congress doing about this??

biyootz.bsky.social•22 days ago

What are you doing about it?

redmischief.bsky.social•22 days ago

DO SOMETHING! WE KNOW what he is doing, it is your job to do something. Why is Leon in gov't computers he is a private citizen, a no one, someone that no one elected, he has no right to be in the systems

mousemedium.bsky.social•22 days ago

We need ALL of our Blue team to say this is a 📢📢 "CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS"

WE NEED HELP and the dems HAVE to say it publicly, ensuring NATO hears.

This is an SOS call. We're all going down with the ship just days away from drowning.

Don't be a hero and think the Dems can fix this, send for backup!

secretoriginz.bsky.social•22 days ago

Or someone could take it to court? Get the IGs reinstated?

sarahbigelow.bsky.social•22 days ago

SO DO SOMETHING.

jumpinjax100.bsky.social•22 days ago

Right???!!!!

missniab.bsky.social•20 days ago

Everyone is hollering DO SOMETHING DO SOMETHING. What exactly are they supposed to do. Congress is Republican controlled. Senate is Republican controlled. They are literally giving this man everything he needs to do this stuff and will not stop it. So what do you suggest Dems do?

terryalfredo.bsky.social•22 days ago

Why dont we start from the position republicans do indeed want waste, fraud, and abuse. What now, Congresslady?

massmatthew.bsky.social•22 days ago

Hard to do when there are Democrats supporting him.

whyldflower.bsky.social•22 days ago

Is it legal?

groundedinlight.bsky.social•22 days ago

You are not a newscaster. You are a congress person. What are you going to do about it?

kurtrisser.bsky.social•20 days ago

Fraud, waste, and abuse are their preferred ways of governing.

momzplay2.bsky.social•22 days ago

Let the news report the news. What are YOU doing to stop this??

bootsie1.bsky.social•22 days ago

But of course, we know they don't....

pitterpatter1776.bsky.social•22 days ago

Articles of impeachment… NOW!!!!

rob1946.bsky.social•21 days ago

Democrats! Fucking do something or we’re coming after your asses with tar and pitchforks!!!!!

You’re our leaders. Lead!!!!

Fucking do something.

dr0923.bsky.social•22 days ago

Is something still considered illegal if there are no consequences?

swlabr123.bsky.social•22 days ago

IMPEACH HIM!!!! He is abusing his power.

welcome-hope.bsky.social•22 days ago

Not clear? It doesn't get any clearer than This 😕

maryiscontrary.bsky.social•22 days ago

So? You writing a letter? This 2025 plan was published. Dems knew what was coming and made no plan to counteract and now they sit and bitch. Do something FFS.

lbigisland.bsky.social•22 days ago

So are you just going to narrate the fall of democracy? What steps are being taken.

gildygirl.bsky.social•22 days ago

And we ALL need to do something. We can’t expect our reps to do it alone.

gildygirl.bsky.social•22 days ago

USAID site is down, CDC site is scrubbed. The richest man in the world is running OPM and connecting private servers to the Treasury. This is a coup. Start calling it that.

anamepending.bsky.social•22 days ago

Why are y’all just sitting there narrating t what we can see with our own eye? Fucking do something! Instead of blessing your heart maybe fight back!

basseagle.bsky.social•20 days ago

Are you seriously going to let Musk get his narrative into the ether before you our representative speaks? This needs to be a priority Monday morning before he speaks.

basseagle.bsky.social•20 days ago

On Sunday, [Musk] alleged that “career Treasury officials are breaking the law every hour of every day by approving payments that are fraudulent or do not match the funding laws passed by Congress.” He also said that “the DOGE team” was “shutting down” “illegal payments.”

basseagle.bsky.social•21 days ago

This is the real story. Stop Musk from mucking around in and taking over the data and system. He already took over the master payroll system that controls the distribution on trillions of dollars. Now he wants more.

https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/02/politics/usaid-officials-leave-musk-doge/index.html

basseagle.bsky.social•21 days ago

“Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent gave representatives of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency full access to the federal payment system.” The Trump admin and Musk now have full control of distribution and non-distribution of a government payments.

erinishere1999.bsky.social•22 days ago

Congresswoman, please do not make any more statements like this without saying what you are DOING to fight it. If it’s not in the purview of Congress, then state who CAN do something to fight it, WHAT they’re doing, and HOW we can support them.

lavenderblossom.bsky.social•22 days ago

Trump didn’t do this alone. His henchmen are not immune. Pull out every stop.

lavenderblossom.bsky.social•22 days ago

Why doesn’t Congress hold a hearing on this?
