I mean, great. I love Elizabeth Warren, but neither she nor any other Democratic senators are up to the task here. "Congress must investigate?" DOGE weirdos are inside the Treasury RIGHT NOW. This is like watching a bank robbery in progress and saying, "hmm, we should investigate."

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.

Grandpa and grandma can't be America's last line of defense
But it's a long weekend and no one's really in town.
Pritzker seems to be taking this seriously but isn't in D.C.
This "oh whoa is me I am so helpless" routine will get people literally killed.
Do your thing.
Why does this Russian Asset have access to Americans private health care & social security data?
You are the elected official. Log off and go and do something.
Ask who Musk "staff" are, like actual names, who pays them, are they loyal to him or the US or ?????
Create a ruckus.
Get arrested.
Good Trouble
And the FBI works for... ?
Bring some cots and pull shifts so at least staff/press are there 24/7.
They need to try every punch.
If we can restrict access we should, but they have had almost two weeks to establish a foothold and security reports to Trump.
You're imagining a scenario where they'd defer to a Senator because they don't want to look bad. Or decorum, or some such quaint notion?
Do you really believe Trump's people care about looking bad? Or decorum?
The Senate's job is not to play civil disobedience games.
We got where we are today by the democrats staying in their lane and obeying the rules for 8 years. We won’t make any more progress doing it for 4 more.
That's All Folks!
We also need affected businesses to light a fire under elected Republicans. They want tax cuts, not Elon cutting off their contract payments or stealing their information.
The US Senate Democratic caucus is not the right body to be screaming at right now.
We should still lobby them. And if we're in business, lobby Republicans too. Businesspeople may want lower taxes, but most don't want absolute chaos.
She has been a part of many tough investigations and fights. Dems are on it - but they also have limited power this term.
Hopefully btw the Dems, courts, voters, watchdog groups, etc -
there will be accountability where things are deemed illegal, unconstitutional, wrong.
House is close, so in 18 months Dems can win it back - then the fun can begin. But until then, State AGs and folks like Crew have to gum up the works
