No, we don't need investigations. We don't need Senators posting on social media. We need you to literally grind everything to a halt in the Senate & get in front of microphones on the Capitol steps calling for the fascists to resign & your GOP colleagues to vote with you to impeach & remove them.
It’s alarming that Elon Musk has access to government payment systems used to deliver Social Security and Medicare benefits.
He also drove out the senior career official at Treasury responsible for preventing a potential default on U.S. debt.
Congress must investigate.

Social impact. It's a core value, not a buzzword or catchphrase. Done right, embraced and amplifed, it sparks hope, creates opportunity, and connects talents + skills towards substantive change + sustainable progress. Passion + purpose + planning. This is where my professional story is rooted. 📜
