We're not going to stand for it.

Today, I rallied with my colleagues outside the Treasury Department to STOP Elon Musk's government takeover.
They didn't let us in the building because they don’t want YOU to know what they’re doing in there. We won't give up until they take their hands off taxpayers' money.
