Elon Musk is traumatizing hardworking federal employees, their children and families. He has no legal authority to make his latest demands. We will block him in Congress and in the Courts. Again.

The threat issued by Elon Musk to federal workers today is illegal, reckless, and yet another example of the cruel and arbitrary chaos he is inflicting on the people’s government.

You think you want an autocratic because you think he will be your autocrat. You think he hates the people he made you hate so that you would give him power. You think he is on your side. He is only on his side. He hates whoever gets in the way of what he wants. And someday, that will be you.

URGENT✍🏽: Patel has zero senior law enforcement experience and multiple Trump admin officials who worked closely with him are saying he's "profoundly unqualified" to lead the FBI. Trump is using Patel to turn the FBI into his personal tool for political revenge. secure.everyaction.com/rNdWVXyjvkyD...

POS Sen. Kennedy is selling handguns on the 7-year anniversary date of the Parkland shooting when parents are still mourning the loss of their children. Reminder: Guns are the #1 killer of American children & teens. Guns in our homes double our risk for homicides and triple our risk for suicides.

Donald Trump illegally fired 19 inspectors general. The law requires notice to Congress and a case-by-case justification. It is not optional. Congress must convene a bipartisan hearing to examine these unlawful acts and how they can be remedied. Immediately.

Under oath, Kash Patel said he was unaware of plans to dismiss FBI agents before he was confirmed. Today, whistleblowers revealed Patel was reportedly directing those dismissals. Covertly. Yet another reason he must be rejected.

Elon's already claiming on X -with no investigation or evidence- that our civil servants were committing massive fraud. He claimed USAID -a humanitarian group investigating HIM- to be a "criminal organization." THESE ARE LIES, a tactic out of the fascist playbook. abcnews.go.com/Politics/tur...

There is no doubt that if Patel is confirmed he will turn over names of FBI agents and endanger their families. Emboldened J6 insurrectionists will have a hit list. BE ALARMED! 🚨

Reminder: Pam Bondi made at least $3 million from the merger that formed the parent company of Trump's Truth Social platform. She will weaponize the DOJ for Trump. She should not have been confirmed.

USAID’s website has been deleted, all that is left is a note saying all personnel are now on administrative leave and personnel outside the US are to be brought home. Completely illegal, no act of congress or even executive order was signed to dismantle the agency
