#BREAKING: Rep Raskin to #Maddow: "What I see are all the tell tale signs of a COUP. A coup is a seizure of state power by UNELECTED actors, who work to take over the critical infrastructure of government outside of the rule of law, and that's what I see as going on right now."
No one elected Elon Musk.
As Donald Trump allows Musk to access people’s personal information and shut down government funding, Republicans in Washington will also own the consequences.
We must do everything in our power to push back and protect people from harm.
If the Treasury Secretary does not remove DOGE’s access to the Treasury payment systems at once:
Congress must immediately act.
That is why @RepJeffries and I will work together on legislation to stop unlawful meddling in the Treasury Department’s payment systems.
We must protect people’s Social Security payments, Medicare payments, and tax refunds from any possible tampering by DOGE or other unauthorized entities.
BREAKING: Senator Chris Murphy has just declared a “Constitutional Crisis” over Trump shutting down USAID headquarters.
Murphy: “This is a constitutional crisis that we are in today… The people get to decide how we defend the USA… Elon Musk does not get to decide.”
Murphy: "Let's not pull any punches about why this is happening. Elon Musk makes billions off of his business with China. And China is cheering at this action today. There is no question that the billionaire class trying to take over our govt right now is doing it based on self-interest."
Minnesota's Court of Appeals took oral arguments on the road today to Central High School in St. Paul. More than 150 students watched as attorneys argued a real case in the school's auditorium. A great way for students to see how the court system works in Minnesota!
It's a big weekend for debate! The NDT is happening, and so is the Urban Debate Championship! Congratulations to @StPaulCentral's Kieran Levitre & Eleanor Johnson, who qualified via points, and Maren Lien & Cayden Mayer who qualified via the community vote. Best of luck!
