The Democrats in Congress MUST shut down the government. No budget. No debt ceiling increase. No appointment confirmations. SHUT DOWN everything until President Musk complies with Constitutional law, respects the power of congress and complies fully with federal court orders.
Please shut the government down - vote no on everything. Find just a few more Rs who want a legacy of honor, not evil. That is what this is - destroying lives for profit. We are all looking up to you and your fellow lawmakers.
Are you aware republicans can do the budget thru reconciliation and it needs zero democratic votes. They can include debt ceiling in that. Senate republicans are already in negotiations with Freedom Caucus to do just that. They also don’t need democrats for a single cabinet nomination.
I don't support normalizing that behavior, which sounds reasonable in extreme circumstances but is actually typical infantile Republican tactics and it never ends well.
THIS ACTION: Elected Dems should offer simulcast daily briefings and simulcast weekly town halls to build and organize a collective opposition party of elected Dems and American citizens. This would alleviate the despair, heighten engagement, and empower the masses. We can not wait any longer.
"[The beast] also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name." Revelation 13:16-17
Just keep in mind, Satan doesn't have God's day planner, so he always has to have an antichrist ready to go. No man knows the day or the hour but the times and seasons are evident. Not to immanentize the eschaton, but they who have ears, let them hear.
You are right, like how some payments made must use some bank's card and has fees or ends up not being charged in full due to a few dollars left on each card.
The Democrats must expose Trump's, Musk's, and GOP's plot (Mission Destroy and Loot) constantly and loudly and use it as one of the driving forces to veto-proof Democratic majority in 2026.
#Musk removed #IGs in several agencies who were investigating him on several topics.

You, other Democrats, and non-partisan judges are our final hope.

I wanted to thank you for your efforts fighting for the American people. I am a little blue dot in the red state of Alabama and when I see what you are doing it gives me hope.
Dems CAN sue DOGE for TRESPASSING, ask Court to:
BAN DOGE from tampering w/ servers/ software;
BAN them blocking access to Congress; &
If they refuse, EVICT THEM.
BUT Dem leaders won’t even TRY.
NY DEMS!
Go look for Fraud in Jeffries’ & Schumer’s offices.
They will EVICT YOU, but not DOGE.
Gee, thanks for letting us know. That's about all we're getting from this weak Dem party.
So what do we do about it? Nobody's listening, DOGE is doing whatever they want and openly flaunting the idea of ignoring the courts.
I think we can dissolve Congress now, it serves no purpose in this admin.
The Dems aren't weak but have terrible messaging. Everything Biden did should have been on billboards and commercials. Dems should have been all over podcasts and Fox News. Rep voters don't hear us on their Christian Nationalist radio stations. We don't mobilize where our voices need to be heard.
Senator… Our government and Society is being overrun by Felon 47 and Ratboy Musk.. They are the American Taliban with the infestation of the MAGA Cult followers in Congress.. you took oath to defend against all enemies foreign and domestic.. this is domestic terrorism. Help our country
Since Congress created these departments, a man who entered the US as an illegal immigrant, a man who does not hold an officially approved government position, a man who can't even qualify to run for president should not be able to change the will of Congress. Stop him.
Ma'am, with respect, we KNOW this. What we don't know is what you're doing to STOP this. THAT'S what we need to know. They scare us, you don't need to stir up more. We need hope you can DO something.
Republicans control all of Congress. What exactly can any Democrat do except protest and keep us informed? They have no power as they have no majority.
Yep this, the democrats could absolutely oppose this any gridlock everything like the Republicans did when they were in charge. Week could refuse to engage and force a shutdown. There is so much more the could be doing than sitting around twiddling their thumbs.
This take is BS, and it is the result of weak Dem leadership @schumer.senate.gov People think Dems don't have any power in the minority because they have not used it.
Trump seems determined to start a civil war in America so he has an excuse to invoke martial law. While at the same time he's inciting WW3 against our allies. This is not a "core presidential duty" Trump should be disqualified not just impeached.
I think these plans he announced were made after the early voting periods in some states? It was very late into his candidacy and Early Presidential term( Nov 2024) when he spoke about Musk and Vivek and Doge...so it's not as if he was clear and said this immediately at the onset.
Please tell Jeffries to start being as outspoken and action oriented like you or to move aside for someone in the party that will. He’s not cut out for this scenario we’re in. People are demanding action, and he is acting like fascists are still playing by the rules while they eat his lunch.
Absolutely **no one** who knows what is going on would in any way, shape or form trust their money/do banking or any other fin-service with Musk. For everyone else, this should be stopped.
Can you guys somehow ban this guy from bringing his child into media briefings in his disgusting attempt to stop people from asking hard or aggressive questions?
If a woman did this we would never hear the end of it.
“But Grassley pointed to a letter issued by the Treasury Department to members of Congress on Tuesday saying that Musk's team has been granted "read only" access to the department's payment system, and that outgoing payments have not been affected.” (Register)
“[Elez] was given the source code to make whatever change he wanted, but he could never make it permanent. Six days later, he was given that same full access "to first two and then one more systems," said Wheeler.” (Raw Story)
except the robber also owns the bank, he just wants to take people's money more than once, then accidently do a sieg hiel to rally his troops. They have frozen immigration from everywhere but south-africans from Europe who still openly revere hitler. It is an international right wing merger. DUH.
BOYCOTT VISA for being the credit card carrier for Musk. Pay off any VISA balance and close all accounts. Change any debit cards also. Open an account with Mastercard or American Express or other credit card company. It's time to show companies that doing business with Musk is not profitable.
How do we do this if our debit/bank cards are VISA? Just close our accounts and start all over again? Easier said than done......but I get your point. WTH VISA??
Yes. Pay VISA in full and close the account. Debit cards are issued through your bank where your account is held. Request your debit card carrier be changed is very simple if the bank has both credit cards companies. Any Customer service rep. will help you change it. Hopefully this info is helpful.
Senator Warren, there is nothing that you and Senate Democrats should be doing right now besides using every platform available to you to decry this coup attempt in the strongest language possible. Protect the people you were elected to serve.
Again, what are democrats doing? They clearly don’t give a shit about the law. Enough talk. They don’t care what the courts say. REMOVE THESE DANGEROUS MEN FROM POWER. SHUT DOWN THE SENATE CONFIRMATION VOTES. Stop allowing them to walk all over us!!
Well stated. Let’s remember where trump’s maniacal dictatorship all originated from. The Republicans in office too weak and cowardly to impeach trump when they should have. Then backed away from every chance to get rid of him to become lapdogs. Now they claim they’re too scared. Useless cowards

He is breaking a shit ton of laws and needs to be arrested.
Everyone is talking about tax cuts for the billionaires, but Trump has already projected the outcome - all of this money they're saving / seizing will go to the "sovereign fund" as crypto.
I would love to see the FBI arrest him. Can we do a class action citizens arrest? Waiting around for Republicans to agree that Musk has stepped WAY beyond the line of legality, is going to lose us nearly everything.
Elon Musk and Donald Trump committed bank robbery today by hacking into NYC's bank account and taking $80 MILLION in Congressionally approved FEMA funding.
Where are your Republican colleagues, especially mealy-mouthed collaborators like Collins and Murkowski? If they refuse to hold a flagrantly lawless executive accountable, what purpose does the Senate even have?
That is freaking unbelievable. How do they even have access - I know, dumb question - but this is really ridiculous and every municipality should be up in arms about this.
The Democrats in Congress MUST shut down the government. No budget. No debt ceiling increase. No appointment confirmations. SHUT DOWN everything until President Musk complies with Constitutional law, respects the power of congress and complies fully with federal court orders.
Ma'am I adore you and I voted for you, and I am begging you to get buck wild and raise some actual hell - because right now the politically uninvolved normies of the land think the problem can't be THAT bad, since the opposition party seems to be shrugging along with what's happening.
Right - we're glad to see Sen. Warren has a Bluesky account, BUT WE GOT THIS. Go where they aren't hearing it enough and scream it. Get on a flatbed in front of Fox News and use a bullhorn.
We don't got this. What are you talking about? We need our representatives to represent us. No unanimous consent, no cooperation, no fast-tracking of the Republican agenda. There's no fucking excuse for them to roll over without a fight.
At this point I feel like all we have left is to appeal to Trumps vanity. Muskrat cucked him on live TV. I'm having a hard time imagining Trumps room size ego cam handle that.
Do not fund the government until he is gone. Shut it down. Yes, you'll get blamed, but that won't last long because Trump will replace whatever bad taste that remains with another of his own before midterms.
Elizabeth...please just sit down and shut the fuck up.
You have done nothing to protect our country. All you do is vomit words. Really, young lady... fuck off now!
Senator, PLEASE include his name when you post his picture. Some of us are so tired of seeing him that posting his picture can get you blocked. Even if you are my senior Senator. Hashtags are good, too.
maybe you should have thought of this before you tried to kneecap Bernie's campaign and bend the knee to Biden. Now you just look like a party of Neville Chamberlains. I appreciate your hard-work in creating the CFPB, but here we are...
you ever heard the phrase, "if you don't know your history, you're doomed to repeat it"?
Your criticism of Bernie sounds exactly like the people MLK jr called out:
"the moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice;" http://www.hartford-hwp.com/archives/45a/060.html
Um, Nader, Bernie, Jill Stein… winning lineup just keeps on winning. Love me some MLK, but politics changed drastically. I didn’t criticize Bernie, I criticized you dwelling on the past which is annoying and useless.
then do something about it?? we should be seeing BIG money from the democrats paying for lawyers to sue the shit out of them nonstop. dip into pelosi’s hoard of stock profits and then we’ll believe the entire lot of you are something other than phonies
SO WHAT ARE YOU DOING ABOUT IT FFS? holding meetings is futile. They don’t care about the law or your previous authority. Stop pretending nothing has changed. It is not business as usual.
Yes great so we're all finally calling him a bank robber. Bank robbers don't care their business is illegal. You can only stop a bank robber with force and violence.
Yes, it remains illegal to rob the bank even if the robbers are now the cops. (It's still illegal for a non-bank to provide such payment services in the US, no?) The cops don't make the law.
Why can’t we deport him, or arrest him for any one of the many laws he’s breaking? He is the one leading the charge on the coup, and needs to be stopped!
And what exactly the fuck are you and other dems actually doing about besides rolling over and showing your throats? Like 5 of you have any fucking balls at all
Also, Chuck Schumer needs to chucked out the door he's a fucking disappointment and needs to get out of the fucking way for someone who will actually do anything.
we all know what the other side did when they were completely out of power in 2009-2010 (corporate funded riots, 'tea parties', death threats, bombings/vandalism of congressmen's offices who voted for the ACA, etc).
Let's see what happens if *you* try to do something like that w/o oligarch support
Behold, Elon the Untouchable—the Ketamine Kid turned Oligarch Supreme,high on power, higher on hubris. Gifted the keys to the Treasury,he plays emperor while democracy plays dead. But after overshadowing the president,will his Icarus moment finally come? Or is hubris just another currency he prints?
So why don’t you do something about it? Why was there a vote on Tulsi Gabbard while all this shit is going on? Stop contributing to the downfall of our government.
He bought our Presidency. Has there been any investigation to conclude or prove that with his "elite" crew of hackers could have messed with any of the votes Americans made? I'll always wonder about that.
I’m wondering how long it’ll be before Trump’s ego gets fed up with Musk stealing the spotlight. Trump has/does think of himself as impervious to consequences; I can’t imagine there’d be anything he’d be bothered by if it became public.
Trump is simply lazy. He doesn’t like governing; it’s hard. He likes photo ops and rallies. This way someone else is doing lots of the work to get tax cuts for the rich. Going fast and breaking things without the constraints of process ie congress. He gets his immunity while someone else works.
Democrats completely unprepared after screaming Fascism for 12 years. You have failed us Senator Warner. I can’t even listen to our “elected” officials anymore.
We need groups like the EFF more than ever before. The problem is rather like the Californian wildfires, as soon as you get one under control another springs up somewhere else. The credibility of the U.S. has never been so low. MAGA, don’t make us laugh! You’re a joke!

Hey @warren.senate.gov ,how about the democratic leadership shut down Congress as much as possible instead of these virtue signaling posts of yours? Maybe 24/7 news conferences. Anything. You should step back and let the next generation fix your mistakes. You've ignored warnings for years.
Liz these are your words that you ran on.
End lobbying as we know it and make other sweeping changes to eliminate the influence of money in our federal government through the most comprehensive anti-corruption legislation since Watergate. What has changed Phizer reciepts in USAID? Other?
Why hasn't Musk been arrested for anything yet? If any other regular American citizen even did a small fraction of what he's doing, we'd be in jail right now.
Riddle me this, they want to cut waste but not only have they given the nazi 12 other NEW gov contracts, they also just did this, 400M for swastikars???? So the US will be in the business of getting our own military killed??? WTFU https://bsky.app/profile/bobbyallyn.bsky.social/post/3lhzqjglhuk27
Ok, Elizabeth, what are you doing to stop it? Posting to social media isn’t going to do much. So far it seems no one but federal judges are doing anything worthwhile to try and stop this crap.
We are seeing the full implementation of a kleptocracy as the orange 🍊 one and his oligarch 💩 sidekick destroy our economy and our government. The world is losing hope for America.
I truly don’t like to comment on people’s visual appearance because it really is irrelevant, but Musk has a very unsettling countenance that is surely inextricably tied to his megalomania.
You are 2nd person in comments to bring grievances. I noticed that happening in other places. Not helpful unless you are the chaos agent we don’t need.
@warren.senate.gov just to put a thought to your attention...in the back and forth think tank we have here..is the research to live on an inhospitable planet an end to go to Mars..or live on an inhospitable Earth?

Among our other problems, we are rolling deep in a gerontocracy.

True insofar as Trump himself is trying to usurp powers that belong to the legislators
As the 1689 Bill of Rights put it it "pretended power to dispense with laws"
