Congressional Progressive Caucus Chair Greg Casar (TX-35) issued the below statement on reports of Elon Musk and his associates gaining access to the Treasury’s federal payment system.

"Donald Trump has given unprecedented power over the federal government to an unelected, unaccountable billionaire. Elon Musk's treasury raid jeopardizes Americans' sensitive information, tax returns, and Medicare and Social Security.

"Progressives will fight this in the courts, on the House floor, and with every tool at our disposal until Elon Musk is out of our government and no longer putting taxpayers, the sick, and the elderly at risk."

Progressives will fight... until Elon Musk is out of our government...

I don't really care if they burn the witch or not. Elon is a symptom, not the disease.

Well let's start with clearing up the symptom and work our way backwards.

I don't want them to slam it, I want them to stop it. If any Congressperson were to physically restrain musk until he was arrested, I would move to their state and vote for them for the rest of their career.
