Hi,

By all accounts, Elon Musk’s DOGE is a disaster.

No matter who you are, you’ve already paid the price for Musk and DOGE’s rampage – shredding clean air and water protections, throwing out promising cancer research, putting your personal data at risk, trying to cut Social Security. And none of it has saved any money.

Whether or not Musk remains at DOGE, Trump is still asking Congress to give the agency more funding, more staff, and more power.

Behind every cut are real people facing real hardships. As DOGE dismantles the programs meant to protect us, it’s ordinary Americans who suffer. Congress must put a stop to this.

Sign the petition: Congress must say NO to funding DOGE

DOGE is doing exactly what it was built to do: break things. It was never about fixing our government – it’s about gutting it from the inside out, eliminating expertise, and clearing the way for unchecked corruption.

Congress can and must reject any proposal to expand this disaster of an agency. We cannot let them hand more power and funding to an operation that’s wrecking our schools and hospitals so billionaires like Musk can get richer.

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

Thanks for taking action,

Joey and the team at Demand Progress
