Friend,
After spending the last 130 days carrying out an all-out assault on our government, Elon Musk is out at the “Department of Government Efficiency.”
Good riddance.
Together with Donald Trump, Musk promised to cut $2 trillion in so-called government waste. They failed – missing their target by over 90%. But the damage is done.
Musk took a chainsaw to the core of our government’s ability to serve everyday Americans:
- Slashing the Social Security Administration, leaving seniors stranded without support.
- Canceling billions in public health funding, weakening our response to disease and addiction.
- Firing hundreds of FAA workers, delaying travel and risking aviation safety.
- Crippling the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, letting big banks off the hook.
- Gutting agencies like USAID, weakening America’s role in defending democracy abroad.
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg, team.
Musk may be gone, but DOGE and Trump’s billionaire allies are still working to dismantle our government. Senate Democrats are fighting back – are you with us?
It’s time to stop the billionaire takeover of our government and start rebuilding the public services Americans rely on. Sign our petition if you agree:
Sincerely,
Chuck Schumer
