Senator, respectfully, you need to be in front of the Treasury RIGHT NOW. Investigations are for the before times — we are in the middle of a crisis.

Reposted from Elizabeth Warren

It’s alarming that Elon Musk has access to government payment systems used to deliver Social Security and Medicare benefits.

He also drove out the senior career official at Treasury responsible for preventing a potential default on U.S. debt.

Congress must investigate.

BITCH, DRAG YOUR ASS TO THAT BUILDING WITH FEDERAL MARSHALLS AND DEMAND ENTRANCE.

idgee.bsky.social•21 days ago

I'd rather see how "alarming" it is to see that dude get deported or imprisoned for what he's done so far. Make it alarming to see the police knock his teeth out his mouth or hog tie him in the middle of the street until he can't breathe.

akneuron.bsky.social•19 days ago

We did not elect him. Seems like he has free rein to dismantle our government to his liking. It's obscene.

catkisame.bsky.social•21 days ago

Elon has been given freedom reign over government agencies,trump has never been very smart but Elon is and what he will do with his new power to get control and destroy this agency will have devastating results on American people

katia0415.bsky.social•21 days ago

Absolutely. They all should have hopped on planes as soon as they found out and live-streamed their trips to DC. That would make their constituents feel like they were doing something.

jacrowley.bsky.social•20 days ago

Will Congress do anything?

vettstravel.bsky.social•21 days ago

They kill me 😑 constantly running for office. I’m sick of them talking about it and not DOING anything about it!

papertownie.bsky.social•21 days ago

Disrespectfully, if this is our crisis response, then we deserve to be taken over by a bunch of profoundly stupid, deeply unlikable bigots who got rich exclusively through theft.

falseindigo.bsky.social•21 days ago

I'm afraid he's going to drain mine and everyone's bank accounts because he has access to people's bank information!!!! ALL the politicians are just sitting there-observing. Why aren't they asking the military to step in? Why aren't they reversing the Doge EO? WHY isn't Congress doing anything?

soundofsnow22.bsky.social•21 days ago

Exactly! Investigations do nothing anymore. Before times there were rules, etiquette, ethics, and tradition but this is a take over of our country by the rich. The time for all those things has passed. It’s time to fight back.

natco98.bsky.social•21 days ago

I think it's laziness. They don't want to do any extra work.

lostinbuffalo76.bsky.social•21 days ago

They are still politicking like it’s 2005. We’re so far past investigation this point. We need action! NOW!!!

@rachelmaddow.bsky.social

Rachel, any plans to reduce the 46% of women who ignored you and MSNBC and your 30 mil salary. Any plans to actually achieve anything?

“Government Investigation” is beginning to sound like “Strongly Worded Letter”

robinkozloff.bsky.social•21 days ago

Investigate? Stop musk’s government takeover now!

stevenerick1976.bsky.social•20 days ago

Hey Sen Warren remember how all those “investigations” into Hitler went? With all due respect the house is burning 🔥 and your solution is to investigate the background of the arsonist.

mrwilson007.bsky.social•21 days ago

You know this quagmire could have been avoided if people would have listened and shown up to vote. At this point, as a country, we are just getting what we deserve. Democracy was fun while it lasted.

alwaysmarycoogan.bsky.social•21 days ago

Bessent says he gave Musk full access
Then why did Musk have to go into government offices and steal it
a key stroke would have done the job
Bessent is guilty after the fact
Don't forget his thugs cut access to targeted employees as well

chimera61.bsky.social•21 days ago

Investigate? Congress has the power of the purse. Musk is an unelected private citizen. He made his money off the backs of the taxpayers; Tesla managed to evade over 11 billion dollars in taxes for years. Musk has a documented substance abuse problem. He is trying to make congress irrelevant.

berni45.bsky.social•20 days ago

Throw up some injunction or legal action to slow this down until you can block his access. Why does he have access? Question his immigration status by law make him prove it. Throw as many legal road blocks as you can. Crucify him in the media. Show outrage and fury. Now is the time for 🤬action.

berni45.bsky.social•20 days ago

See Demies. That is the reason we’re 😡. These loyalist are not responding to your weak attempts of posturing. Get with the 🤬 program and get your knuckles bloodied. You should be digging deep to find a way to stop this. The answers are there.find them! If you have no fight, get the🤬 out of the way.

joannefrances.bsky.social•21 days ago

It's infuriating that those that are supposed to have power to take care of things are NOT showing the action that is needed to correct course (so to speak) ... WHY?

I get it takes time to make things happen, BUT NOW they need to be screaming & let people know they are doing something‼️

cassiesmom.bsky.social•20 days ago

Investigate=years of delay. Arrest Must And his minions!

steveross64.bsky.social•21 days ago

Agreed! These “we’ll fight it”, or “we’ll investigate” are basically the same as the gop’s “thoughts and prayers”. We need a new playbook if we’re gonna save this country

ms-lj.bsky.social•20 days ago

More than show investigation in Congress. Call the local DC Police! DC Bureu of Investigation. They are breaking laws! Call the damn cops and DA’s now!!!

sdmairs.bsky.social•21 days ago

I'm with Keith Edwards on this one...

jojodeshazer.bsky.social•21 days ago

That is such scary shit. And most people are too" head in the sand"to realize what's happening. They didn't bother to vote. Didn't bother to seek knowledge. Like lemmings off a cliff. Crap, what are we gonna do?

susieq787.bsky.social•21 days ago

Alarming? Alarming??? Are you serious?? This a full frontal attack and coup by a non-citizen who has no business in the treasury department. Investigating is too late. Action must be taken, c’mon Elizabeth! You know better!

sensibletexan.bsky.social•21 days ago

I want action- not another investigation.

shellyshellthedj.bsky.social•21 days ago

We believed in ya'll. We voted for you to work on our behalf. Your constituents are beyond disappointed. DO SOMETHING!

nowsthetime.bsky.social•20 days ago

Investigate. How can elon remove a senior official? Did he threaten to murder his family? What is going on? Why? Democrats it's time to take off the gloves, NOW!!!

openhwy.bsky.social•20 days ago

Elizabeth is not paying attention.

gcphelps64.bsky.social•21 days ago

Yawn..... this is what they voted for. Get out now.

What do they not understand?!

papertownie.bsky.social•21 days ago

"It's alarming," they tweet from home

anchusa.bsky.social•21 days ago

I feel like I’m in a different reality than they are.

papertownie.bsky.social•21 days ago

In a lot of ways, we are. Until Musk cancels Congressional salary payments, they probably won't even come close to understanding how "alarming" this is for all of us (and has been for months).

cassiesmom.bsky.social•20 days ago

I think she has turned into Susan. Ollie’s clutching her pearls

anchusa.bsky.social•21 days ago

Well, I hope she gets on that congressional investigation right away. She can start by actually reading some Bluesky content. She would learn stuff!!!!

papertownie.bsky.social•21 days ago

By the time they select a committee or hire independent counsel, we'll all have died of old age (in detention centers probably).

nicubivol.bsky.social•21 days ago

Any legislative power in the world including the US Congress, it's not designed to switfly react to such a flood of major structural hits like it could be 101st airbone division or something. Any legislative power anywhere in the world, would be absolutely overwhelmed by this kind of taifun of hits

mkf0113.bsky.social•21 days ago

Hearings and investigations are so 2024. We need resistance, we need action, we need strong stances. Go to the scene of the crime and go live to the American people. Don’t stop talking. Stay late and work those weekends when they like to pull off these Friday night and Saturday night massacres. ACT!
