Tell Congress: STOP the Musk Budget
Congress must use this funding fight to STOP Elon Musk’s hostile takeover by requiring him and Trump to:
– Spend funding previously approved by Congress – and rein in their cuts to our social safety net to protect the health and economic stability of our communities.
– Respect the rule of law and abide by decisions made by the courts.
– Comply with oversight and transparency rules to keep Americans aware of their actions – like subpoenas, investigations, and appearances at hearings.
Congress can’t just sit back and watch Elon Musk hijack our government. We demand you seize this opportunity to STOP Musk’s slash and burn campaign.
We just sent a letter to Congress demanding that our elected representatives use their powers to hold President Trump, Elon Musk, and DOGE accountable. [1]
We’re sending a clear message to Congress: With government funding running out soon, Congress must seize this opportunity to exercise its power as a co-equal branch of government and STOP Elon Musk’s hostile takeover.
The truth is, Musk is already trying to shut down our government, one mass firing or one shuttered agency at a time. Following the same playbook as previous government funding fights is effectively co-signing Musk’s looting of our federal government.
Our Constitution is clear: Congress controls the “power of the purse” and how our tax dollars are spent – not the president, and certainly not an unelected, unconfirmed billionaire like Elon Musk. We must treat this like the constitutional crisis it is.
If you agree Congress can’t just sit back and watch Musk hijack our government, join us to speak out. Add your name to tell Congress to STOP the dangerous Musk budget.
