So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

Whether in the courts or by way of pressure on the Trump Administration, DEMAND evidence of these claims of fraud and waste. You’d think Trump would be running to Congress & to court to show what they’ve found, and yet…crickets 🦗

Always a head-scratcher when someone says they think Trump has any “business acumen”… And to use that as a basis to vote him into office a second time is like sticking your finger into the socket…a second time.

Voting matters!!! People in the House and the Senate care more about their constituents than Trump does. Members of Congress vote the way their district ALLOWS them to. "Purple" district republicans should be the biggest goal to flip for dems on 2026. Don't wait until 2026. START NOW!!!
