Hi everyone, 

Last night I joined hundreds of federal workers, seniors, veterans, working families, and my colleagues in the House and Senate to rally at the Treasury Department to take back our power from Elon Musk. My colleagues and I attempted to enter the building to speak to the Secretary and conduct oversight, but we were denied entry.  

Watch my speech here. 

President Trump has handed over the keys to the federal government and its checkbook to an unelected billionaire. He’s invading financial systems that hold all Americans’ addresses and personal information. This information is used to send out Social Security checks, Medicare reimbursements, and tax refunds–upwards of $5 trillion in transactions a year. 

“We need all of you to be our eyes and ears. Authoritarians win when we stop paying attention. You have to tune in. You have to get the truth out. I know how tired you are. I know it. You are not just doing this for you. You’re doing it for your neighbors who don’t have a pot to piss in. You're doing it for the folks who don’t know if their kids are going to get fed tomorrow. This is not just about us. It’s about everyone. We know the people who did not let us in today, they are not thinking about us. They are only thinking of them.” 

Today it’s been announced that Elon’s team has now gained access to Medicare and Medicaid. One more takeover under the fake guise of “weeding out fraud.” I will not stand for it. Medicare and Medicaid must be protected at all costs.
