Thank you @agellison.bsky.social for continuing to stand up for Minnesota and against the illegal acts of Musk/Trump!
Trump's creation of DOGE and appointment of Elon Musk to lead it is unconstitutional. It is unacceptable that Musk is using this unconstitutional appointment to try to cut the federal government to the bone.

Today, I filed a lawsuit to shut this illegal power grab down.
