Defend our constitutional freedom from this corporate takeover!
Text SIGN PUXMSU to 50409 — I'm writing about Elon Musk's systematic dismantling of our constitutional freedoms through the DOGE program. When a foreign billionaire who gave Trump $288 million defies Congress and seizes control of our government agencies it's a betrayal of American freedom. Generations of Americans built these agencies to protect ourselves and our families. I'm asking you to take immediate action to defend our constitutional freedom from this corporate takeover. Will you commit to stopping this assault on our democracy? We're counting on you to protect our freedom to maintain a government of, by, and for the people—not surrender it to unelected billionaires. The future of our country is at stake. Please take a stand.

Credit where it's due: it is helpful that a thoroughly corporate mainstream media outlet is able to draw the line from "Musk is spreading bullshit about fraud in Social Security" to "Trump and Musk are coming for your Social Security and this is them laying the groundwork"

Before President Donald Trump started mass layoffs of federal workers, he demonized them, arguing, despite evidence to the contrary, that most of them never went into the office.

Block the coup now or else resign. It's a constitutional emergency
Text SIGN PLFUJS to 50409 — You are betraying your oath. Stop this catastrophic and criminal coup NOW. We did not send you to Congress to do nothing while the constitution gets shredded. You are presiding over a criminal dismantling of our Government and our alliances. If you aren't brave enough to speak out to stop it, to condemn Trump and Musk, then resign. Now. You should be aghast at the disgraceful conduct of Hegseth and Vance in Munich. You should be against that Vance is meeting with the successors to Nazis. You should be aghast that Trump is proposing war crimes. People will die as a result of the illegal actions of Musk and his gang and the policies of RFK jr. What do you think of RFK jr's leadership as the first human cases of Avian flu are reported? What about the severe flu season? The measles outbreak in Texas? What about firing cancer researchers and nuclear weapons technicians-- and then not being able to rehire the latter? What about the disruption to air traffic control caused by Trump? And the air 6 crashes in less than a month after none for 16 years? What about it? Is this okay with you? People have already died because of the interruption of USAID. What about Trump's multibillion dollar costs to attend the Super Bowl and Daytona 500? Was that necessary? Have you listened to what your constituents think of cuts to social security and Medicaid in order to fund tax cuts for the oligarchs?? Are you going to let the national parks be ruined? We did not vote for any of this. It's time to stop all regular business: call out the coup and stop it. Bring charges of impeachment against Trump and Vought. Summon rogue agency heads in to answer questions. Impeach them too. If you aren't brave enough to say NO and uphold the constitution as you swore to do, then step aside. History will judge you for your inaction. If you don't have the courage to speak out and mobilise opposition, if all you can do is enable the tyrant, then RESIGN NOW. The disastrous tyranny of Trump and King Elon is going to bring illness, chaos, suffering, and even deaths at home and abroad. You are complicit in all that loss and damage unless you do your utmost to block it now, using every mechanism available to you as a member of Congress. If you are unwilling or unable to do what you can to block the illegality and destruction of this coup, then step down.
