“The last several days we’ve witnessed an authoritarian takeover of our federal government by Elon Musk and Donald Trump. They have set their sights on a full purge of anyone in government that doesn’t bend the knee and follow their orders.” - Sen. @wyden.senate.gov

So other than virtue signalling grandstanding talk, what is he going to do about it? Protect himself, that's all. Meanwhile, Democrat 'voters' will moan that he's not doing anything, despite the fact that most Democrats and left aligned people simply did not vote in the last election.

trump/elon are *helping our enemies* (as well as BEING our enemy) - does that not make them guilty of TREASON?? And why does there seem to be no way to hold them accountable? trump should be thrown out of office for what he is doing. elon's assets should be seized and made public utilities!

Please please bring the sent to a grinding halt. Democrats you can do it there is nothing collegial or bipartisan about any republicans. Bring the senate to a halt now. We can not have a crazy man in charge of medicine.

Worse they have our money Musk operatives have already pushed live to production extensive code changes to the Treasury Department payment system which makes 95% of fed govs payments. How are musks people not in jail??

I visited Senator Cantwell's office this morning in Everett, WA. The guy that spoke with me did not write down any notes about what I had to say. He just stood there and said that he'd pass it along. I have very little confidence that Cantwell is actually listening.

No, Dawn, they didn’t. Musk wasn’t on a ballot; the point isn’t “no one could have foreseen this,” it’s “he has un-elected power in an unconstitutional, made-up office, this is blatantly illegal, it is undemocratic, and it needs to be stopped.” Stop looking for blame. This isn’t Sunday school.

Anyone who didn't see Musk's role/interference/meddling on the horizon when the cast a vote for the GOP completely missed the plot. This is absolutely what they voted for. I for one do not forgive and will not forget. People don't pay attention and it shows. I don't feel sorry for them.

And you are all just doing nothing but complain...too little to late folks..elon bought and paid for america,and you just sat back and handed him the keys🇨🇦🤷‍♀️🙄🍿🍿

I'm glad your talking about it but we need more than words to keep them out. Where are the risks? Where are the sit-in's? Where are the LOYAL US Marshals? Where are the experts being reached out to? Why is this taking a billion years compared to Trump's moves? This won't be won in a court room.

I'm waiting for some Democrat, any Democrat, to start talking about pressing charges against Elon and having him arrested for hacking into government computer systems and masquerading as a government employee to fraudulently fire actual employees.

Why? The DoJ would be the agency to press charges, and they're threatening charges against anyone who doesn't comply with Musk. At least Wyden (unlike most) is making noise and putting things on the record. Things that can be used in lawsuits.

Democratic members of Congress can start by getting a warrant for Elon's immediate arrest. I agree with you that the coup is already complete. Elon's teen hackers control the Treasury. If they touch Social Security or Medicare, the ground war begins and people will die.

Republicans and MAGA enablers have leaped so far beyond the treason scale, not even Trump's imaginary wall would be long enough to accommodate them all with a blindfold and last cigarette. Anger and disgust don't even begin to describe feelings for them.

So what are you going to do about it, Ron? I’ve seen nothing but talk from Democrats. I know nothing but shouldn’t you at least do what the Republicans do and go to court? That’s possibly the only resort short of a coup. It may prove fruitless but it’s something. Act, FFS! Now.

People are upset no one seems to be doing anything concrete to stop this lawless regime from destroying our country. It’s time for us ALL to act, to show them that WE THE PEOPLE are not powerless. A 3 day GENERAL STRIKE, a complete economic shutdown except health & safety will teach them otherwise

Sen. Congress is just not cutting it.74,60,796 votes who were for Harris!EM is dangerous worse.Felon was just EM’s vehicle to obtain power.Felon just runs on impulses&self-aggrandizing.EM has no idea how government works&doesn’t care!EM wants PoWER!& u keep on letting Felon’s crazies get Confirmed!

Our federal Constitution is a living document. It is only real when it is in effect. Donald John Trump, by enabling his crony Elon Reeve Musk, is preventing the Constitution from being even minimally in effect. This negates the existence of all offices under the Constitution, including the … 1/2

… including the Presidency. This is beyond an impeachable offense. Impeachment is a procedure for when the Constitution is in effect. Trump has forfeited the Presidency. The Presidency now only exists for whichever eligible person will restore the Constitution under which the Presidency exists. 2/2

Remember, only the Constitution makes the federal government, and so the federal government only exists while it is under the Constitution. When whatever passes for—or holds the resources of—the federal government is not under the Constitution, then there is no federal government.
