Elon Musk, on behalf of Donald Trump, is rampaging through the federal government, dismantling programs, locking civil servants out of buildings, and working to kill whole agencies created by Congress. It’s time to get off the mat and pressure Congress to assert its authority. Call them.

Thank you.
We need your courage. It is inspiring in a time when so many with power only seem to garner the strength to bend the knee.
