John,

From a human standpoint, Elon Musk’s DOGE has been a disaster -- not just in theory, but in real, measurable harm to the American people.

There is no doubt that you are already paying for Musk’s drug-fueled spree of destruction. Under his wild-eyed direction, DOGE:

• Slashed enforcement of clean air and water protections, allowing polluters to dump more toxins into our communities
  

• Eliminated funding for NIH-backed cancer research trials, halting treatments and studies mid-course that could have saved lives

• Fired data security experts across multiple federal agencies, increasing your risk of identity theft and cyberattacks

• Annihilated the U.S. Agency for International Development, preventing food and medicine from reaching sick and starving children all over the world

• Cut funding for over 200 education grants, hurting early education and education for children with disabilities of all ages
  

• Gutted medical pandemic preparedness programs, leaving hospitals less equipped to respond to future outbreaks
  

• Made deep cuts to Social Security administrative staff, making it harder for seniors to access the benefits they’ve earned

The list goes on and on. And none of this “saved taxpayers money.” In fact, many of DOGE’s cuts have cost more in emergency spending, legal battles, and economic fallout -- while billionaires like Musk reap the rewards.

Tell Congress: Don’t give another penny to a rogue agency that’s tearing down our government. Defund DOGE NOW.

Musk may be out of the picture for now, but Trump is still demanding that Congress give DOGE more money, more staff, and more unchecked power.

Behind every cut, there are real people facing real consequences -- cancer patients, seniors, teachers, disabled workers, children, and parents trying to keep their kids healthy and safe. DOGE was designed not to fix government, but to break it from the inside -- dismantling vital services, firing career experts, and paving the way for corporate corruption.

This isn’t bureaucracy reform. It’s sabotage.

We cannot allow Congress to give one more cent to this rogue operation. DOGE is wrecking our schools, hospitals, and environmental protections -- not to help you, but to make it easier for billionaires like Musk to profit from the wreckage.

Tell Congress: Don’t reward failure. Don’t give another penny to DOGE. Defund it now.

Let’s stop this assault on our government before it becomes permanent.
