Let me emphasize: Elon Musk has not been confirmed by Congress. His “department” was never actually enacted. No one other than Trump has given him any authority.
Democrats and any Republicans with a spine need to step in and stop this madness.

THIS IS A NATIONAL EMERGENCY.
This week, Elon Musk and a literal handful of 18 to 24-year olds have illegally taken over the US Treasury Department computers and now have access to all our nation's (both individual and collective) financial data.

In two weeks Elon Musk infiltrated our Treasury Department computers.
And three months ago when we suggested he interfered with our election, you shamed us for stoking conspiracy and told us to move on.
All we had to do was a simple audit and we could have prevented all of us.
What a waste...

Elon Musk’s staffers entered USAID offices and accessed classified materials without proper clearance. Two senior security officials who tried to stop them were placed on leave. DOGE staffers have since obtained the classified information and carried materials out of the building.

Question for OPM: about 30% of federal workers at the VA are Veterans. They were given a preference for hiring because they're Veterans. Disabled Veterans got a higher preference.
They are DEIA hires.
Are you going to fire them all? Are you going to end Veterans preference?
