Elon Musk—an unelected billionaire with a long list of conflicts of interest and deep ties to China—is hijacking our nation's checkbook so he can block funds that help the American people.
It's corrupt—and it's putting our economy & the most at-risk communities in jeopardy.

Make no mistake: Trump's illegal destruction of USAID will cost lives. All my colleagues should understand these actions empower Russia & the Chinese Communist Party at the cost of America because one billionaire with deep ties to U.S. adversaries decided to do so on a whim.
Trump is now purging Department of Education employees for taking diversity trainings HE encouraged them to take.
He's pushing out staff that process student loans & get resources to our schools. This won't help our kids learn or even save us money. He's just breaking services people rely on.
We cannot mince words about what it would mean to confirm RFK Jr. to our highest health official: elevating him and his anti-science views could have deadly consequences—even before he lifts a finger.
He is wholly unfit & unqualified to lead HHS.
The federal government is not Twitter and when Trump and Musk break government it has consequences—lives are on the line.
Food safety inspection. Air traffic control. Social Security checks. Nuclear Security. Drug approvals. Wildfire management.
The list goes on.
It is absolutely unacceptable for the Trump administration to purge the CDC of important scientific data that matters to millions of people. I refuse to let ideologues stomp out evidence-based objective research—we all need to speak out. www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...
Trump's tariffs will cost families—literally. It's not Mexico or Canada or China who pays for these increases, it's YOU. And you'll feel it on your wallet everywhere you shop. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
All of your most sensitive data and our country’s checkbook are in the hands of an unelected billionaire.
This is the most corrupt administration in history and it’s putting our economy & government in serious jeopardy.
It’s time to speak out and fight back.

Trump has illegally frozen USAID funds, forced layoffs, sidelined & silenced staff, & hollowed out the agency—now rumors are he wants to unilaterally eliminate it.
These harmful moves undermine our national security because when America steps back, our adversaries will step in.
It's not just guacamole and margaritas—it's everything from Mexico, Canada, and China that you buy at the grocery store and everywhere else that will cost YOU more because of Trump's new tariffs.
RFK Jr. told me yesterday that he had never made unwanted sexual advances towards ANYONE.
This new information about settlements and NDAs raises a lot of questions we need to know before any Senator casts a vote on his nomination.
Paging Russ Vought. I’ll be voting NO on your nomination, by the way. abcnews.go.com/Politics/tru...
Let's be clear: this means YOU are going to be paying a 25% tax on everything that you buy from Mexico and Canada, and a 10% tax on everything from China at the grocery store and EVERYWHERE you shop, thanks to Donald Trump. apnews.com/article/trum...
The Senate should REJECT Russ Vought's nomination.
You know what makes absolutely no sense? Confirming the mastermind of the last few days of chaos to oversee our country’s budget again.
The chaos Trump caused this week is unacceptable. I'm calling on him to:
➡️Restore every dollar held up by his devastating blanket freeze
➡️Rescind orders that are STILL blocking funding
➡️Withdraw Vought's nomination
➡️& abandon his illegal scheme to rip funding from families
Over the last few days, the American people have felt the painful consequences of Trump’s disastrous funding freeze—all of which is a result of having a president who is more focused on the billionaires who now fill his administration, than regular people.
By merely voting to confirm RFK Jr., we would be telling people he is worth listening to on vaccines.
That alone will get people killed—before RFK Jr. even lifts a finger. He doesn't even need the levers of power, just a megaphone.
Russ Vought is the mastermind behind Trump's devastating funding freeze & has been the number one cheerleader of the idea that Trump should unilaterally rip funding away from working families.
Senators should vote NO and REJECT his nomination.
Voting for RFK Jr. to be our highest health official would be handing over one of the biggest microphones in the world to his dangerous views—there will be consequences.
