It’s hard to overhype how dangerous this moment is. This a naked attempt to seize government by the right wing billionaire class so they can steal from the American people.

The message needs to be these billionaires are hard at work prioritizing tax breaks over social security, medicare, Medicaid, NOAA, and every government department you depend on. It is all on the chopping block for tax breaks for corporations.
Please help stop this takeover of our country. We need leadership and I'm not seeing a lot of it from our elected officials. I know you are in the minority, but the Republicans sure knew how to shut us down when they were the minority. Tuberville and Rand Paul come to mind. Please!
Indivisible is doing it at the State level (highly needed) but Senators like Chris need us to show up with them to these places. Any idea if anything is being discussed in this area?
Thank you for coming right out and saying the absolute truth! Your leadership has been essential! They are cutting what Americans need and their safety( CIA, FBI, firefighters, police, USAID) to hoard the money for his tax cuts! They are stealing from the people, that message need to be constant.
Please post your FB Live video here so that it can be shared with people that have fled Meta. This is an important message we must get out. You are my senator. Make me proud. ❤️
When do we protest this ? When does everyone join? Let's go , I still have last week's signs. I'm ready to go, people. I just need 11 million people to join me.
Senator Murphy. I think one of the few states I haven’t been to is Connecticut, but now, I intend to visit. Thank you for your strength and courage. I know it’s so scary and you are at risk. Thank you for speaking up for 80 million of us who can not. I, personally, appreciate you.
I'm a constituent, call this what it is, a coup. Musk should not be allowed to have access to computer systems or servers within the US government. Be loud. Make sure legacy media discussing the takeover of power rather than the legal (albeit poorly thought out) trade wars.
Thank you Senator! You’re one of a few beacons of light. This is urgent and it’s not getting enough attention from Americans or media. I’ve raised the alarm, but it seems to fall on deaf ears. Keep fighting for America ✊🏻
Your voicemail box is full at your DC office, but I wanted to say thank you for drawing attention to this today and want to urge you as one of your constituents to please call for the end of Musk's government contracts and for his immediate arrest
Please keep saying this over and over and over again. And ask your colleagues to do the same. I wish you all would catch up to the anger that your constituencies are experiencing and want to see represented. Gum up the works and mobilize.
Need a large press conference and get this fully into mainstream media. Governors, members of Congress, local leaders. Everyone!! Push into TV stations with security detail if you have to.
The American people need to know this is a real and serious emergency. They don’t know it’s real yet.
Even people who have known my entire life for decades, don’t believe it’s real because it’s not on the main stream news. I can assure you if people saw it on the news from elected officials you would get the ground swell.
What are you doing about it? Hand wringing isn’t enough-obviously. Are you all on the Hill so helpless that you’re being spanked daily by the Tromp on American posse? Act or move over.
The young gamers that Musk has working on Federal systems are almost certainly installing some form of AI on the systems. We do not know if their intentions are nefarious or benign, but AI is NOT a mature technology. These are the same people that thought self-driving cars were a good idea.
Any installation of AI on Federal systems should only be done with the approval and oversight of Congress. Any problems with AI may cause a catastrophe.
Please impress this on your Republican colleagues! Call for an immediate emergency Senate hearing. Subpoena Musk, all the current heads of these departments and the gamers themselves if needed!
Chris, all due respect, but can you explain like I'm 5, why Chuck Schumer and Hakeem haven't at least pulled a fire alarm? haven't marched to USAID building and force entry? why lawsuits haven't already made it to the Supreme Court steps? Trump gets a hangnail, and Supreme court hears it next day!
Keep flooding the US Capital with calls, keep protesting, keep on your Senators, flood the airwaves! Fight Fight Fight! US Capital Switch Board 202-224-2131
This is no longer a battle left for the politicians in Congress to fight. It is time for the freedom, loving people of the US to take to the streets and protest. - by the millions. Next - get organized and win the next election - if there is one
This is why we have the 2nd Ammm. in case of tyrant government. This is tyrany, my personal information is in the hands of a nazi lover. And God knows what are they planning to do with that info.
Are Democrats going to take action to stop this hostile takeover of our country and government or is the plan to just whine on social media about the hostile takeover of our country and how unfair/illegal it is? Asking for about 300 million people who prefer to not live in a dictatorship. Thank you
Thank you for standing tall. Please note how we citizens can help. I am calling reps, organizing a march and sharing the current situation with those who have no idea this is happening. The media certainly isn’t reporting it.
What we are seeing is the digital equivalent of the burning of the Reichstag. Trump intends to create mass chaos & then declare martial law. He's an inept sociopath & must rely on what has worked well in the past. In this case, that means reading from Hitler's script. I wish this were hyperbole.
So, are you guys going to do something to stop this? Why is Elon Musk getting his hands into our financial systems, including social security! We didn’t vote for this man! This is ridiculous!
How is it remotely legal for Elon Musk to now be designated a "special government employee" when he receives billions from his business interests from the U.S Government? Does he not have to step away from his businesses if suddenly he's working for the United States? Explain, please.
Then make your colleagues fight them. Tell voters who to call.
Stop all the grandstanding from the leaders and get some good messaging. We know the danger. We hear the warnings.
Senators mail boxes are full. Stop this raid on U.S. system.
Don't wait until the midterms. ACT.
Stop lying. YOU and your cronies in Congress are the ones who have been stealing from the American people. AND Doge is going to find out just how much, exactly who and YOU ARE SCARED TO DEATH.
Give him time; he only got access to the corruption 24 hours ago...reluctantly as you know; the Biden Guy refused to give access--as I'm certain there is a LOT to hide. But no more. We'll see who'll be waving arms in the near future. OH, wait; Dems were screaming outside of USAID just yesterday.
We’ve been had!
This video is chilling. Released two months ago it describes exactly what Trump and Musk are doing. Trump distracts with tariffs and Musk destroys the government from the inside for Tech oligarchs.
Senator, please tell me how a single Republican block progress when a Democrat is in the White House, but when a Republican is in charge, Democrats seem powerless to stop the harm? Where’s the balance? What is the plan?
Thank you Senator for your leadership. How about tomorrow 5pm at the Treasury building?
We need you to find out what they are doing with our money!
Block the nominations!
Thank you for speaking out so powerfully against the chaos and destruction that is being wreaked on our country by the Trump administration and Elon Musk. The Democrats in the House and Senate must continue to defend the Constitution, and our rights, in the most vigorous manner.
Would be absolutely great if some Dem reps could actually get on a soap box and raise alarms outside of a few social media posts. And in the interviews I've heard with you, it sounds like you've already laid down your sword to let us know there's no point fighting because they've already won.
Have suggested many times that this is an option people might consider in the near future. Current leadership has chosen to ignore the laws of the land and are making up their own rules, so considering there is no longer accountability why not?
Someone could think this a “modernization” mission to rapidly update fed systems against bureaucratic inertia but the endless malicious commentary from the head plotter proves that they are not acting in the best interest of the US and are not complying with the law. They have malign intentions
Please have Elon Musk arrested or take what legal action you can. No other US citizen would get away with this! Our country is depending on you and the other senators and Congress. We and our children need you to act now! Our country needs you. Protect democracy.
We need Senate and House Dems to STAND UP AND FIGHT against this lawless regime. Over 250 years of representative democracy is at stake.
WAKE UP, CHUCK!
@raskin.house.gov You both said what we all know, that what Elon Musk is doing is illegal, and that it's unconstitutional. So ARREST him. The American people don't have time for congressional hearings. We can not afford for him to take our money! ARREST HIM! NOW.
Please take the press and go to each agency to interrogate the DOGE team there. And please do a die in at USAID because people are going to die because of this.
Well to be fair … billionaires are funding both sides and in return expecting favors in the form of tax cuts. Why haven’t Dems ever supported a tax increase on the wealthy … it’s because our political system is run by the rich. 🥺
I want elected dems in Congress & in state houses to march over to Treasury & physically remove Musk with cameras rolling like Trump is doing with ICE raids. Most people don’t understand the seriousness of this situation. Dems must show them & confront Musk however long it takes. Days, nights
As a constituant: What are you doing about it? We’re already behind the eight-ball here, and everyone—especially those in power like yourself—need to be pulling out all the stops.
Again, of course! Constituent here. Your voice mail is full, which I hope that means many more you represent are demanding ACTION. Dems are not in the majority, but you do have tools at your disposal to fight unlawful actions like this. When will you use them in a systematic, sustained way?
You are one of a few who are talking about this - but I see no organized Dem response to stop this catastrophe. Most national TB programs around the world are supported by USAID - no USAID funds - we will see a HUGE increase in TB. See TB outbreak in KS now!!
Medvedev cheering as Musk illegally dismantles USAID, making it easier for China & Russia to gain more influence worldwide while leaving America weaker &more isolated.
The RU gov't has long hated USAID, accusing it of, among other things, interfering in internal matters by supporting groups that...

Pro Dictator/ anti-democracy.
Vance on tape talks about it. Rachel's done segments.
Thiel is involved as Musk. It's Palantir, thiel & Musk lackeys being installed.
how about you all DO SOMETHING. Obstruct delay the cabinet votes. Obstruct delay filibuster whatever. Fucking do something. Don't whine to us. We have no power right now.
Thank you, Senator Murphy for being one of the first to sound this alarm and for keeping us informed about what is happening and what is at stake. Please keep going to stop this coup.
A democrat official should enact a citizens arrest of Elon Musk and force law enforcement to explain why they refuse to take Elon or his minions into custody. Elon is an ENEMY OF THE STATE. This is called STATE CAPTURE .
🎉🎉 2/5/25 The "50 Protest, 50 States" protest is here. Look it up in your area and attend or call off from work. 🎉🎉 It's on FB, Reddit, and individual democrat websites. SPREAD THE WORD.
Seems to me they have done it. Gotten away with it. I don’t see Elon or his DOGE staff arrested. Trump is immune for all things illegal. No longer an attempt. Elon is in the accounts. He’s in our personal data . It’s done. You all sat back and watched it happen. Dems are voting for cabinet.
Musk and his script kiddies may have committed a crime (or 68 million instances of a crime) by accessing government payment systems used to distribute Social Security benefits. Let's get a focus on this, Senator. https://www.ssa.gov/dataexchange/privacyinfo.html
If it's dangerous, go there! Make sure the country sees how dangerous it is. Kick and scream, the media shows up for MTG to show them the latest booger she picked, surely they'd care to see a Senator trying to uncover what is going on in a congressionally legislated dept.
Dear Senator: Thank you for your efforts on behalf of democracy and decency during this perilous time. I agree: "no votes on anything". Please let your colleagues know how disgusted we are that any Democrat would support any Trump nominee. Keep at it!
Hold the line. Do not allow any more of Trump's policies to pass. Trump's executive orders do not override the constitution.
Every one of us is a brick in the wall. Do not falter. It's not your careers on the lines anymore. Its our lives and our freedom. This is a coup. This is a takeover.
The founding fathers you all love to reference were dumping tea in the harbor, when are you going to lead the brigade to take sledgehammers to teslas? The Capital Police should be hauling Musk and his gang of college coders away in handcuffs.
Please get all your senate pals all over the news right now. People on Bsky are already concerned. You need to make this clear to everyone else and @schumer.senate.gov. No more aiding and abetting the Republicans.
What are the Democrats doing to stop this? While they don’t have the majority, they are not totally without power. They need to be using this to their advantage to highlight the corruption and show in great detail how this hurts Americans. The narrative can’t just be ‘Trump and Musk bad’.
It would great if Ds would get together & fucking do something other than tweet.
Get Schumer offstage.
Push younger, stronger fighters w/BETTER FUCKING MESSAGING.
Go into buildings.
Get on TV.
In very simple terms, explain why this is bad.
-Signed longtime D voter who is REALLY pissed at Dems.
Thank you Senator Murphy for standing up to a corrupt bully who could care less about US power to do good in the world. Not to mention democratic institutions.
https://bsky.app/profile/gregggonsalves.bsky.social/post/3lhdumdclw22d Trump is ushering in the Rhyming of History. “Gleichschaltung…term applied to Nazification of German society following Nazi seizure of power.Hitler sought to ‘coordinate’ all political,social,cultural institutions with Nazi state…in name of NATIONAL unity.” HE IS THE ENEMY.
Senator Murphy, you’re absolutely right that Democrats need to use every tool to stop business as usual. Block the nominees, deny quorum, object to unanimous consent, make them vote on everything! Convince your colleagues and please follow through. YOU’VE GOT THIS!!! 🇺🇸

Imagine if millions did the same.
Our country is SCARED!

There's also a Reddit space dedicated to protesting and organizing protests:

THIS is is a great playbook:
PROTEST PEFORMANCE ART & TWEETS ARE NONSENSE.
REACTIONARIES GET ROLLED BY FASCISTS.
FUCKING ROLLED.
ACT, DON'T REACT. PR IS NOT ACTION. MAKING THEM OWN IT ON RECORD IS.
The American people need to know this is a real and serious emergency. They don’t know it’s real yet.
Just saying. And I'm not even an American citizen.
From your profile I take you are not here in USA?
Also, Musk isn't a billionaire, he's a half-trillionaire.
I hope your comms team will also be cross posting more on Bluesky. Many of us have left X so we’re hearing from you second hand.
Thanks again, very much for standing up for democracy.
1. Are you locked out of the Capitol?
2. How are you STOPPING MUSK?
Honest questions.
There's no time for diplomacy. We're in the fight of our lives.

funding NGO’s that have been critical of the Russian gov't.
With Musk & Medvedev united, impossible becomes possible.
This tells everyone WHOSE SIDE THESE PEOPLE ARE ON
