This is not normal. No one elected Musk—but Trump is letting him raid classified material and people's private financial information. A billionaire with his own motives and foreign entanglements. This is a dangerous, unprecedented power grab. apnews.com/article/doge...
You *do* understand that unless you fight and grind trump's and musk's agenda to a halt, instead of just posting strongly-worded social media posts, while sending out fundraising emails, people may be more inclined to believe you all, yeah?
I'll ask you the same thing I've been asking other members of Congress....what are you personally doing to stop him?
How can he be stopped, what needs to happen? USDA is not just assisting other countries, it also assist citizens of the United States, rental assistance, snap program. This man don't need United States citizens info. Trump set this up, playing games, to draw attention away from this.
This is a data breach. And should identified as such. A data breach, also known as data leakage, is "the unauthorized exposure, disclosure, or loss of personal information".
What will the Democrats in Congress be doing about this?
DO SOMETHING! You're in a position to do something right now... it's disappointing that there aren't daily press conferences by ANY D screaming from the rooftops. Posting on social media isn't doing something.
Do something. File articles of impeachment. Slow everything down.
and whAT ARE YOU DOING ABOUT IT
And? What are the democrats in Congress going to do about it?
Can’t Congress do anything? Musk was not elected. This is insanity.
Legislation takes too long! Do something! Take it to the floor, social media, FOX news, News Nation, local news. This is an outrage! Reach out to former public representatives to push out what’s happening n to create a think tank! If this is the power of 1 party our govt has failed us all.
So ARREST HIM or explain to America that no one is coming, that there are no more roadblocks, and we can expect to have no money shortly.
so what are YOU and YOUR CONGRESSIONAL COLLEAGUES going to do to act? to resist! to fight back? or you just gonna hope the billionaires cut you in and save ur job???
Punitive damages? Civil class action? Injunctions?
the courts can save use. SCOTUS was bought the first term.
SCOTUS is lost cause but federal district courts can sometimes help push back as in the frozen funds cases.
Please please please tell us what you are DOING about it! From here, it looks like our opposition party is doing nothing about this unprecedented crime against our nation!
Injunctions? Civil class action? Punitive damages?
How? Why? Where is the employment contract or the service contract? Why isn't he being arrested?
Follow “This will hold” on BlueSky It’s pinned to my feed; a sordid tale of Muskalini’s impending digital espionage charges and prison. He’s dragging some naive young men with him
What is being done about this!!!!!
Respectfully, Do something about it! Hire a Democratic Press Secretary! Have Daily Press Conferences! Entire world is wondering WTH is happening in USA & what are you all going to do about it? Musk will have everything if he doesn’t already!
Read the comments. We all are asking you, What are You and Your colleagues doing about this unconstitutional activity!
It is evident to me after reading and commenting on many of our Dems Representatives posts that they don't actually read our comments or engage on Bluesky. It really is disheartening that they post, freak us out, have no solutions and never respond
Excellent, Please keep this up. We have to raise enough noise to keep this the top story
Not normal, something has to be done about this administration, our treasury has been taken over by Musk, this man must be stopped, we are in a constitutional crisis and if this goes on any longer, the government we have known will no longer cease to exist, we only have weeks if not days to save us
So tomorrow y'all will bring a motion or resolution to stop DOGE from illegally accessing millions of US citizens SSNs and PII, along with stoppage of funding, so you can haul Elon in before Congress? (and hell maybe arrest him for breaking how many laws?!?)
Injunctions? Punitive damages? Civil class action?
Do you suspect someone of committing fraud, waste, or abuse against Social Security? You can submit a report online at oig.ssa.gov or contact the OIG's fraud hotline at 1-800-269-0271
Thanks for the suggestion but is this one of the inspectors general T fired?
At this point I have NO clue😓 But better to make noise than stay silent I guess?
You also might want to check out Indivisible group if there is one in your area. Strength in numbers
No kidding. What do you plan to do about it?
Why isn't the squad at USAID headquarters right now demanding entry? Why are we seeing these old men having a very calm, polite conversation with one single person at the door, walking away, and then the media spins it as a "strong rebuke"?
Then fucking do something. We hired you to act on our behalf. ACT.
With all due respect, we are tired of our representatives telling us “this is not normal.” WE KNOW THIS. We are relying on you to DO something and the time to start is yesterday.
Stop them. Stop letting them get away with this.
Deport him and take away his government contracts! Is this what you politicians are doing with our tax dollars but yet we can't have Universal Healthcare!!! Do Something! www.adammockler.com/p/deport-elo...
In the words of Mrs. Michelle Obama, Do Something! Why when Dems have all the power the Republicans still find ways to stop you but when Republicans are in charge y'all can't stop them? Come on now. Get reporters there to see Elon removing people.
How about you tell us something we don’t know
So when is the democrat party going to do anything other than write skeets about how concerned they are and how this is not normal? Because dancing like fools at the DNC headquarters over the weekend while this shit was happening ain’t going to cut it.
Congress must remove DJT from office immediately. Our democracy and freedom is dependent on it. We elected you to represent us. The time is now.
Who is going to stop them? Y’all are right there posting on social media. No “good trouble”?
arrest this fascist psychopathic treasonous usurper.
is ANY elected official who is AWARE of the crimes being committed going to DO anything?!
What are you doing about Elon Musk illegally breaking into the Treasury Department and stealing highly sensitive information that will impact the world? www.wired.com/tag/elon-musk/
Have you tried doing a single thing?
You are the first elected official on Bsky that I've even seen address this. What are you all doing about the massive breach of data and national security perpetrated by Elon Musk and his team of six 19-24 year olds, all without clearance, none of whom are elected or confirmed?
So, what's the plan the Dems have come up with? How are YOU fighting? We don't need anymore information about what he's doing, we need to know what you're doing.
Stop him! What are you all waiting for?? Get congress together and work on this issue now
If a single unelected man now has the power of the purse for the entire USA, why do we have Congress?
It’s illegal and unconstitutional…he has no real authority and “ doge” is not a real organization…this is all fucking insane…
Coups are never legal. The 2025 project plan was always to seize power through rapid disruption. If they control all levels of enforcement, it won't matter if what they do is illegal.
Yes. Given that a criminal was installed in office, we can forget about the law, however, allowing a Nazi from South Africa billionaire steal all sensitive information and the treasury is beyond a criminal coup. It’s illegal and unconstitutional, people better wake up to all the economy being stolen
Unfortunately, it may require either the military to take back the government extra judicially or an armed insurrection from the people to change the course of this. The sooner, the better.
What…are…you…yes, you, Congresswoman Pressley…doing about it? - A constituent who proudly voted for you three months ago
We already know it’s not normal, we already know it’s unprecedented, these were self-evident when the story was reported; so what and when is the response?
Thank you for focusing on this rather than the cost of eggs, but simply posting about it does nothing. DO SOMETHING! Get him out of there; get the mainstream media in there!
@pressley.house.gov what are you guys doing about this… it’s clear what is going on… why isn’t anyone screaming about this on worthy news outlets everyday. I don’t understand how we are supposed to be for the people and it looks like we are just rolling with this crap.
Respectfully, what is the plan to stop the illegal madness of the weekend in which funds approved by Congress have been impounded? We need a strategic & fast plan from our leadership.
None of you are doing anything! You are all talking about tariffs and confirming Trump’s cabinet while Musk takes over!
So what is the plan? Your constituents would like to know what y’all are doing about this, myself included.
Do something
I appreciate what you do but Dems need to move fast to stop this.We are seeing our country fall apart. My uncle served in WW2 as a Lt.Colonel. He fought on the Beach of Normandy. My dad served in the Navy. What is happening today would break their hearts.
What are you and your staff doing about this? davis-ex-machina.beehiiv.com/p/an-open-le...
Congresswoman its a coup and you should say so
And the plan to make it stop and do something about it is.....
Injunctions? Civil class action? Punitive damages?
Please ACT! Please encourage your colleagues to act. It feels like whatever shred of faith I had in our democracy is evaporating before my eyes, when all we get are words from those we elected to represent us and protect democracy. It makes it look like the democrats as a monolith frankly dgaf?!
This is illegal! Please say something is being done about this on a serious level
Musk and his theives must have consequences! If my data is breached, any other company would be in a class action lawsuit! Let do it!
Thank you for speaking out - but we need immediate action to stop this. I know you can be forceful- Shake it up
Congress needs to fight like hell to stop them!
He thinks he owns the government because of a 300 million donation! That's a little on the cheap side. Maybe Donald can stick a cigar up his butt in the oval office to thank him for his service.
Please roll up the sleeves and kick some lazy asses to stop standing on decorum. Let the other reps know if they keep calling out stuff and do nothing, they will go the way of the dodo.
bsky.app/profile/eyky...
Nice post but what are you doing to stop that? You are an elected representative of the people, by the people
Sue him
Do your duty, to the US, to the constitution, to your constituents!! Our country is in danger, DO something!!
Thank you, Congresswoman. Please consider pairing announcements like this with concise statements of what you and your colleagues are DOING about it. Cf. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/a-few...
So please, PLEASE, DO Something. No one called out the Starlink voting hacking.... and now we're here. No one's taking action as these goons are waltzing in with a hostile takeover.
So please figure out away to remove him!! He’s causing more damage by the hour!!
Congresswoman, I support all you do but we need you and your colleagues to DO MORE - call press conferences, go to the offices with camera crews (even foreign outlets), stage protests, sue, SOMETHING!!.
This. I KNOW all this, Congresswoman. Many of us are trying to hold things together at the municipal level.
He is helping Trump become the director he has always wanted. We all know Elon doesn't need the money. Elon knows computers, so he wiping everything out of the system. Trump wants to be the ruler of all of America.
Obviously, Felon boy has respect for neither classified documents or people's personal information. He gets what he wants and apparently he wants people to be killed. Elect a criminal, expect a crime scene.
Spread the word: Vote on Vought is 3 pm EST -- TODAY Action needed. Travel to, or call, the stateside offices of your senators to tell them RUSSELL VOUGHT IS A VERY BAD IDEA FOR OMB. He was principle writer of Project 2025, will use OMB to rewrite workings of government.
So stop him! Everybody posting on social media but Congress isn’t stopping anything!
Cancel the billions of dollars in federal contracts that Musk-companies currently have with the US. Congress has this power--USE IT. Musk's interns shd be escorted from federal buildings in handcuffs for violations of federal data security laws. And get the House started on Art of Impeachment.
The Democratic Party is Bullshit... All they do is cry to the voters... It's because of their weakness..that Nazis have now taken over the country... Losers all of them !!
So why aren't Democrats doing anything about it?
And you are doing...what?
Ok, but what are we doing about it.? Why is there NO ACTION?
www.wired.com/story/elon-m...
Musk must be arrested. #arrestmusk
Please do something. We all see something and nothing is being done.
Civil class action? Injunctions? Punitive damages?
Please watch Congresswoman, it is great strategy m.youtube.com/watch?v=akA5...
What is being DONE about this? I know it isn't only up to you, but what we need is action. What are the Democrats *doing*?
Is this elon team in our federal government system? They are hacking and data mining our systems. They do not have the clearance, their is no bill or appointment by a committee. This is an illegal action or terrorism to cripple our government. I think they need to be found. #eattherich #WTFU
"Do Something" Do what? Elon has the authority because it was given to him by Trump. Nothing illegal has happened; what is it that you would like done? And why? I'm excited to clean this closet out. Why are we trying to stop the elimination of massive government waste?
I voted for Elon because I voted for Trump. 77+ million of us voted this way.
Also not new, by now. So who's going in to drag 'em out by the scruffs of their necks like misbehaving puppies?
And… your plan? We know the facts. We don’t know your PLAN.
And what are you going to do about it? We need answers and leadership, not more hand wringing and telling us how damn bad it is.
Injunctions? Civil class action? Punitive damages?
Your messaging indicates you're unable to act effectively in a timely manner to protect our Constitution, our democracy and your constituents. As one of them, I demand that you stay at the Capitol with all of the House Dems until Musk is evicted, all our data are secured, and Trump is contained.
So what is congress doing? What can we do?? I’m a federal employee who mad as hell this person was allowed to gain access to OPM, GSA and now the treasury!!!!!
Civil class action? Injunctions? Punitive damages?
How is your vacation? I’m not seeing a single congressional Democrat rise to meet this.
This goes back to Aileen Cannon.
open.substack.com/pub/wonkette...
tell the rest of your party - they're MIA AND WE NEED THEM
I agree! This is outrageous.
We know. What are you doing about it?
What you could be doing about Elon: Contact Secretary Bessent and demand he revoke Musk’s access to these systems, demand oversight, demand all transferred data is deleted.
Are you seriously going to let Musk get his narrative into the ether before you our representative speaks? This needs to be a priority Monday morning before he speaks. www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...
On Sunday, [Musk] alleged that “career Treasury officials are breaking the law every hour of every day by approving payments that are fraudulent or do not match the funding laws passed by Congress.” He also said that “the DOGE team” was “shutting down” “illegal payments.” nymag.com/intelligence...
“What we're seeing is unprecedented in that you have these actors who are not really public officials gaining access to the most sensitive data in government,” says Don Moynihan, a professor of public policy at the University of Michigan. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...
Musk never took an oath! He is wielding so much power and acting as an officer of our government without ever taking an oath.
please for the love of god Congresswoman, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT . You are the ones with the power to stop him, USE IT!
YOU SPINELESS, MEAK, WEAK COWARDS. DID YOU EVEN TRY TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS? I AM THE L-A-S-T PERSON WHO'D BE A CONSPIRACIST. THIS ELECTION WAS STOLEN. PERIOD. "I DON'T NEED YOUR VOTES". www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKiV...
How many times and how many people have to ask - what is your plan? Some of us have even given you all ideas on what actions we want you to take. Help us!
www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...
We know this is not normal and we are BEGGING you to please do something about it @sanders.senate.gov @balint.house.gov
You know what else isn't normal? The tripling of Elon's wealth and power in four years while you shitheads oversaw the largest redistribution of wealth from workers to billionaires in history. Had to promote "Bidenomics" and pump shareholder value while homelessness doubled. Get out of the way.
Stop them!
You say this as if you have no power but to watch and let it happen. People won't forget it was all done while you all sat and watched while feigning surprise. Neither is normal.
What are you doing about it though???
I just tried to make some calls to your colleagues about this but the phone system is not functioning. WTF?! Has Musk put his grubby Nazi saluting hands on the Congressional switchboard?
They already have everyone's social security numbers, tax refund and soc security info. Data is money to tech bro robber barons. How long before they endeavor to sell it to - anyone with money to pay? bsky.app/profile/cous...

Please read the entire thread. This is a coup. Not hyperbole. bsky.app/profile/cous...
So what are you doing about it??
Why isn’t something being done about the muskrat? He has all of our information on hard drives. Why?
Civil class action? Injunctions? Punitive damages?
Can “WE” submit a class action lawsuit against trump, musk & musk’s juvenile minions for stealing our private classified information!
The American people are requiring URGENCY.
Call the cops.
What is being done?! To allow unfettered access without restrictions or security clearance or lawful reason is a disregard of privacy and consumer protections. What is happening?
@vargas.house.gov
Folks, get LOUD!!! resist.bot/petitions/PT...
A constitutional crisis requires “friction” if people are going to pay attention to it and push back, and Democrats are just not providing that smotus.substack.com/p/why-democr...

Awesome. What’s the plan? You know you’re part of the government, right?
Holy forkstick! Is there anything y’all can do about it? Maybe… let’s deport that domestic terrorist.
Crimes committed? Civil class action? Punitive damages? Injunctions? How can this madness be stopped?
Can you and other Democrats please do something about what's happening at OPM where minions of Musk are illegally getting into protected federal systems and computers. Please use the power you have to urge federal agents or even just the local police to arrest the criminals at OPM.
Injunctions? Civil class action? Punitive damages?
At this point it needs to be the Musk staffers committing the illegal acts being removed from government buildings in handcuffs. Might even be too late for that. South Korea had a dictator try a coup in December, his attempt was stopped. The coup happening now needs the same kind of response
