Gotta correct the media again on something. The administration is not sending migrants to a mega prison in El Salvador. They’re sending human beings to a concentration camp.

1/ OK, Democratic members of Congress in the US Senate. It’s time for some tough love.
I am aware your pollsters and consultants tell you things like “the American people want us to work together” and “ focus on prescription drug prices in the economy.”

Warren is the ranking member on the Senate Banking Committee. Wyden is the same on the Senate Finance Committee. They need to go to the Treasury building with crews from CNN and NBC and demand to be let in. As soon as they're not, hold a press conference right there and explain what DOGE is doing.

It’s not just “alarming” @warren.senate.gov. It’s terrifying. What are Dems gonna do?! You have the playbook and y’all are not using it! Ask yourself “what would the Rs do?” And DO THAT! This is not a drill!!!!
It’s alarming that Elon Musk has access to government payment systems used to deliver Social Security and Medicare benefits.
He also drove out the senior career official at Treasury responsible for preventing a potential default on U.S. debt.
Congress must investigate.

At home, Trump has enabled Musk to stage a coup against the government with his army of unvetted stooges taking over the Treasury.
Abroad, he's shut down aid & canceled malaria/ HIV programs & put 1000s of lives at risk.
Meanwhile, top Democratic leaders are tweeting about egg and priza prices. 😠

Why aren’t even the Rs in Congress alarmed by this? Aren’t they *supposed* to care about national security? This poses a huge threat! (Oh, and also illegal, but they don’t seem to care much about that).
The money to stop terrorist attacks and prosecute criminals.
The money to feed children and educate the future.
You know… THAT money. The Treasury.
Elon Musk - a South African who is here illegally - has complete control over the account.
