NEW: Sources tell my office that Treasury Secretary Bessent has granted DOGE *full* access to this system. Social Security and Medicare benefits, grants, payments to government contractors, including those that compete directly with Musk's own companies. All of it.

By what law does that man have the right to my private information?
Illegal search and seizure perhaps?
4th amendment to the Constitution?
We could Noem it and cosplay as ICE agents.
@wyden.senate.gov
4th amendment
Called Comer 202-225-3115 and told him so.
Oh, and when Joe and Kamala and the Dem Congress got a ton done despite those razor thin margins, were they happy? Of course not!!

Would a Trump-appointed judge issue such an order? Would Trump and Musk obey the order? Probably not. Too bad we Americans didn't give a shit about this last November.
WHAT DID YOU DO?
We have to do more than just vote.
Now, we actively do
#RESISTANCE.
And if he knows musk is going to just ignore it, he should have filed an emergency motion with scotus to hault this. Let them ignore a scotus ruling, so the rest of us can start doing it to, at least get something out of it !
I'm not a lawyer, but I don't think he's allowed to ask for an "immediate injunction barring Elon Musk from doing any and all bad things that he may be doing at the present time, pursuant to whatever statutes may be relevant to said things."
-DNC
So it's either gonna be a military coup, Trump get impeached and the military turns on him, or we have a Christo-fascist state that's run by the dumbest people you ever imagined for a long time.

You need majorities. And we did not give democrats majorities. You can look to state AGs for doing more than this.

The pro-fascist leftists replying to this thread are some truly obnoxious assholes. Never forget that they're the ones who did this to us.
That they would access all of our personal data with malicious intent.
(And, yes, the Senate Majority might just get rid of those rules, but they tend to benefit Republicans anyway so that shouldn't stop them.)
"sorry, the parliamentarian says no" for example
Dems need to balls up and get dirty
They have the architecture, the written script in front of them

I want these fucks gone.
Dustbin of history.
I need someone to make sure Medicaid doesn't break or else my son LOSES HIS INSURANCE.
No offense, but idgaf about your wallet one way or the other.
I get the anger, but a circular firing squad doesn’t help the situation.
And STILL you arrogant losers learn nothing…
Or it’s DARVO from an actual paid concern troll, who can tell any more?
No.

But leverage requires some majority fractures.
“The GOP Congress should make new laws, not a self serving billionaire like Musk…”
For reasons I'll never be able to comprehend, more people voted for Republicans than Democrats in 2024, and they have brought us this mess. I'm not defending the Dems but they are in the minority and quite powerless to effect real change. It's not what the majority voted for.
My point was change will need to come from us, Dems in the House and Senate do not currently have the power to create change. I hope they can at least get their act together to cause havoc.
Fuck every single one of those Vichy liberals
The Vought boycott shows that our Democratic legislators are starting to listen.
Where are the links to marches?
To online art? Where are artists sharing memes to lampoon THIS?
Heck I’ll take a coordinated banner art for my profile to show solidarity

Stop asking.
Why hasn't the democratic party created a cosplaying dipshit movement yet?
But they can certainly make a lot of noise as the opposition party. And they need to be doing that!
The “law” is only for us plebs.
These guys do what they want and then what?
Also some of these people involved need to start worrying about international courts soon.
This will redirect to FB. But FB trolls keep taking down the posts. More details on reddit but I don't have an account.
No to Musk
Certainly not a level to permit access to these systems
And what about the people he has with him? And the ones sleeping inside OPM since January 20th
DOGE is non-existent
Not legal

Unconfirmed
unaccountable
He is a bad guy.
Something needs to be done
Better Musk than someone else leading this effort
No, we demand that our elected leaders put a stop to this. Now.
Is everyone high? Dead? WTH are you all doing?!
California: 2,500 miles.
Alaska: 3,400
Hawaii: 4,800
Texas (Houston): 1,200
Maine: 540
Nebraska: 1,000
Michigan: 500
France is about 600 miles each way, and Paris is in the center.
Does Trump need attention this badly that he'd compromise the information contained in our most secret files in order to have his ass kissed?
That's the DOJ.
See Bondi.
#DOGEtrespassers #PutDownThatRabidDOGE
I am deeply concerned as well, but why act like MAGA and ask for things that are completely ignoring how things work?

Seriously, just because it says
Lawsuit
That doesn't mean it has anything to do with what I said.
Flood the lines people
The people v the treasury
Remember that TikTok was stealing our data, and immediate action was necessary to protect us.
How anyone could take our government seriously after this is a mystery to me.
They’re about to hoover out every citizen’s accounts, investments, retirement. Not to mention the treasury. Money printer go brrrrt
That is not what he is suggesting.
What he is suggesting will hurt everyone tremendously and will do nothing to fix the situation.
Sory for the disinformation.
Of course, I doubt anyone's going to do shit. They'll all just keep their heads down and hope they're spared.
Priority 1 make sure that elections 2026 take place
You can sit on your hands for two years but don't lecture the rest of us.
We say start fighting against trump decision with everything you have yesterday. Before it’s too late. Challenge him in court. Wake up the Democrats- too many vote with the Republicans
https://bsky.app/profile/thomaszimmer.bsky.social/post/3lh7dptqwuk27
If you're not Very Online, you have *no idea* of the seriousness of the situation.
An impeachment procedure fixes that.
Use the courts instead to fight every decision
They are all scared of trumps cult
They know it slows things down until they can win some seats/power. This is how we got to where we are today.
Concentrate on Trump, Vance and Musk to operate within the boundaries set by the Constitution
WAKE UP PEOPLE
THEY ARE DISMANTLING OUR GOVERNMENT
Dems need to be on ALL NEWS, IN FRONT OF THE CAPITAL.
NOT in " hearings" that re awaited of fing time.
Beginning to think they are ALL ripping us off cause they ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING!!!
The very *least Democrats can DO at every incursion on the Constitution.
Better would be
#FightForTheRepublic
Action not Words
Today I attended a seminar on Ghandi’s principles of non violent change
I am filled with rage. I wish I could do more.
Elon could, maybe, be arrested.
The only solution, I think, is a counter-coup, but I don’t think we are going to get one of those.
The silence of the generals is..silent. Do they serve the President alone or their country?
Civil revolution 💪
I’m so fucking sick of watching our democracy being demolished by thugs
Fighting back with brains, not braun is the only way
the time to do anything was November. This is what an authoritarian takeover looks like midway through.
Where’s the links to marches?
Where’s the online challenge to sing a kickass snarky song/dance to say HELL NO?
Let’s go!
Protest will be dangerous.
Not sure a difference can be made right now. Certainly not legal action.
We will need A LOT of work to move the needle, from many walks of life
If you can, make time to get on your feet 👣
TUES, WED, THURS THIS WEEK
SO.
SO.
FUCKING SICK OF IT.
Congress is supposed to be an EQUAL branch of government.
Make sure 2026 elections will mot be canceled
#ArrestElon
You are the ranking member on the Senate Finance Committee.
You are the ranking member on the Senate Finance Committee.
election ratfuckery aside, this was always going to happen once trump got back in, the question was who would be the real president running things because its not trump.
Quite the bargain, really.
Even the R senators have to be against this. How can this be of any benefit???????????????
#USTreasury
This is just catastrophic.
@gilduran.com spotlights Musk’s agenda (and described it as the tech oligarchs inflicted it on SF last year).
I hope he & your staff & can talk this weekend: the roadmap we’re on leads to the end of the Republic, at terrifying speed.
Option: Stop all Senate appointment hearings and address this urgent matter.
Big question is now what?
This Is What They Want.
He controls it now. No more Senate or House oversight.
What did people expect?
Be strategic, not stupid by wasting time with performative stunts that Trump will just use to rile up his base.
My dear, that's exactly what got us to this point.
https://youtu.be/mL0crkf5Dzw?feature=shared
Freedom and democracy were never been granted. One has to fight for it.
Do you want to just stand there and watch? What when they knock at your door at 4 am to take you away?
Is it OK not to try? Do you have children?
It took us more than a 100 years to recover....
You already have a démocratic system, that, despite its pityful state, is still alive. Use it, and clean it.
And the military are VERY loyal to code. He replaced life long soldiers with morons Time will tell
You can’t just demand answers. I would think you and your colleagues would have Special Forces arresting and imprisoning Musty for TREASON.
Members of Congress do not have the authority to command anyone to arrest anyone for treason.
That's part of the problem that brought us here.
Again, I get the anger. But the voters enabled this. No single member of congress can stop it.
The solution can't be to pretend that senators have the authority or means to arrest people.
As I said, unfortunately. Good people, but like MAGA, existing in a make believe world...
Cite the laws and statutes that would enable Senators to arrest Musk.
I get the outrage, but asking other people to do things that are NOT POSSIBLE is MAGA-level empty bravado.
Honestly, I do fear that the only thing that will prevent him from establishing a permanent dictatorship is a massive economic downturn, like SOON.

@wyden.senate.gov I’m grateful you’re calling this out—but how on earth do you propose it STOPS?!
Your employer withholds your estimated taxes with your agreement. The employer submits monthly or quarterly to the IRS.
You can stop it anytime you want by informing your employer.
Fill out a new w4 MONDAYhive it to PAYROLL.
Monday go to payroll claim 10.
Less taxes taken out.
Don't contribute to 401 k anymore( they use YOUR $$$ To make $$$)
I would take your retirement money ut NOW
Although.... It might actually work

Democratic House leaders should be watching this and have Impeachment Articles ready.
I addressed Senator Schiff about his replacement in the House filing impeachment papers even before this latest theft of our privacy & democracy.
We'll see if they have the balls.
Meanwhile the GQP controls the House and trump/musk have THEM buy the balls.
OMG.....it's even worse than most imagined.
Where do we find lawyers to take this on?

For real though
Be them MAGA ... or blue voters who do not understand the authority of members of Congress ...
Trump lost. That is, if all legal voters were allowed to vote, if all legal ballots were counted, Trump would have lost the states of Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Georgia. Vice-President Kamala Harris would have won the Presidency with 286 electoral
Last night on MSNBC, Senator Welch (D-VTJ said, among other things, something along the lines of, “my Republican colleagues, many of whom I deeply respect…” Really?

Didn't stop me from protesting.
If I lose access to meds, I'm going to die anyway.
Might as well lose my life doing something important.
He could tell us what organizations to trust and follow.
Is he doing that? Or is he just complaining?
As for their voices, I've been hearing them loud and clear, daily.
Pushing a bill through the Senate when Dems had a slim majority is not the same as preventing a Cabinet nominee from being confirmed when in the minority.
We will survey Trump 25% tarrifs
He wants to absorb us into the US. 😂
The rapist is disqualified and you let him and the nazis in.
Voting and the rule of law are lies.
I stood up to nazis and knocked on their ass.
You give them the keys.
