If you’re looking to voice your concerns to your Congressional leaders, I’d recommend 5calls. It gives you the direct phone number (bypass the switchboard), a basic script, and all the talking points. I use it and it makes the process so much easier to succinctly voice concerns.

Bernie Sanders: "I'm gonna vote no. I think the American people are sick and tired of Elon Musk, the richest guy in the world, running around, slashing Social Security, veterans programs. That Republicans are moving for massive tax breaks and cutting Medicaid ... you gotta draw a line."

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.

What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

It’s freezing here tonight. Please keep us in your prayers. I think all my friends and family are safe and dry, but I know some aren’t so lucky.
Glad Trump had the chance to waste millions of taxpayer dollars to fly over the Daytona 500 and then ride The Beast on the track as parts of West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, Arkansas, and Tennessee are underwater. Priorities.

Can we get age limits on Congress now? These dinosaurs are a threat to the nation and themselves at this point.

This is a coup similar to the Nazi takeover of Germany. After a failed violent insurrection the Nazis resolved to pretend to be a legitimate political party with the intentions of dismantling democracy piece by piece at a rapid pace. Blitzkrieg Politik.
Of course it’s a coup

Rosa Louise McCauley Parks was an American activist in the civil rights movement, best known for her pivotal role in the Montgomery bus boycott. The United States Congress has honored her as "the first lady of civil rights" and "the mother of the freedom movement".
She would have 112 today.

I’ve heard from quite a few people that are concerned by this. To be clear, the “waste” he is talking about is spending people’s hard earned money on deserving legal citizens and not on his illegal immigrant bum. This is moving fast towards kleptocracy.
Treasury Dept. gives Elon Musk's team access to federal payment system: Sources
If Elon Musk or his DOGE team were to attempt to block federal payments, it would likely face legal challenges given the money is approved by Congress.
