Trump is running an unregulated bribery ring from the Oval Office and half the country is pretending it’s fine.
This isn’t just corruption, it’s a live national security threat.
Congress has oversight powers.
DOJ has prosecutorial powers.
The question is: who has the courage to act?

House Republicans are allowing Elon Musk to steal our Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid so they can give cover to their planned massive tax handouts to billionaires and giant corporations.

🚨 CALL TO ACTION THREAD: Demand Accountability! 🚨
1️⃣ Elon Musk & his employees have illegally taken over OPM, Treasury, & critical payment systems like Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid. This is unconstitutional. Call your State Attorney General & urge them to prosecute. Script in image & thread

![Call Script to State Attorneys General
Hello, my name is [Your Name], and I am a concerned citizen calling from [Your State].
I am calling to urge [State Attorney General's Name] to take immediate action against Elon Musk and his employees for their illegal and unconstitutional takeover of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the U.S. Treasury, and critical citizen benefit systems like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.
This unlawful seizure of government infrastructure has given Musk and his associates unauthorized access to:
Citizens' personal data
Federal employee records
Treasury operations and financial transactions
Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid payment systems
This is a direct violation of federal and state laws protecting government institutions and the private information of millions of Americans. It is also an unconstitutional power grab, as no private individual or corporation has the right to control or override the financial and security functions of the U.S. government. DOGE is not a fourth branch of government.
I demand that the State Attorney General use their full authority to investigate and criminally prosecute Elon Musk and his employees for these illegal actions. This is not just a federal issue-state laws protecting residents' privacy, financial security, and data integrity have been blatantly violated.
Will the Attorney General take action to protect the rights of the people of [Your State] from this unconstitutional takeover?
I expect a prompt response and a public commitment to upholding the rule of law.
Thank you for your time.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:quu4h7b5nl6ktn4cqq65b3ja/bafkreifpwaynvvmq3wkd6awf4kkcfwe7r7llubs3fnaz5ghwdnbyfowjtq@jpeg)

1. In April 2024, California raised the minimum wage for fast food chains to $20/hour
The industry claimed it would be devastating & require significant job cuts and prices increases
Here is what really happened: workers got a raise, prices went modestly, and the industry continued to add jobs

Something to ponder...if the orange bloat actually won the 2020 election (which they are insisting), then this would be his third term which is not allowed.....

For the first time in a while overdose deaths are declining - seven straight months of declines. The cause is complicated but appears to be the culmination of a number of different Biden admin policy initiatives coming to fruition. And yet it meant absolutely nothing politically.
