Elon is not an elected official.

He is not a senate confirmed appointee.

He is leading a fabricated dept. without Congressional oversight

And he clearly lacks any understanding of government.

He is dangerous and must be stopped.

He has hacked the private, personal information of every American citizen. Stop him!
in reply to Greg Johnston

after he gave Proud Boys the location of Peter Hotez that he only had because he bought twitter, this is legitimately horrific.

This is all true and good to hear
but
we need to hear
1) how is this going to be stopped ?
2) how is it going to be fixed?
3)how will the folks doing it be held accountable ?
4) how do we prevent it from happen again?

You are literally one of the other branches of government. What are you and your colleagues doing?

I’ve been trying to call my senators but the calls are not going through. Is this because the switchboard is overloaded? Or has this function been somehow sabotaged by the administration?
in reply to PNW Deb

@DebR
I was able to send emails to my Senators, but Schiff's system was slow. Keep trying!
in reply to CaliCarol

@jawarajabbi I’ve read that emails may be ignored but calls can’t, so I’ll continue to try to make contact. If that fails I’ll email.
in reply to CaliCarol

@jawarajabbi @DebR A couple of tips:

1. If you can’t get thru to DC offices, call your MOC’s state offices. They WILL funnel the messages to DC!

2. As per @indivisibleteam, keep messages short, and do ONE action per call. If you have more than one, make multiple calls.

3. Make sure to state your name, zip code, and town.

4. Leaving a VOICE MAIL is 💯 good if a staffer doesn’t pick up. They are getting slammed now!

in reply to PNW Deb

@DebR Can you call their state or local offices? I've often had better luck than if I called their DC offices.
Would also recommend sending a letter.
Good luck!💙
in reply to Barbara Monaco

@Barbramon1 Also heard that@letters could go in the trash. My senators and congresswoman are democrats, so I’m sure they wouldn’t be discarded, but for gop reps and senators?🤷🏻‍♀️
in reply to PNW Deb

@DebR With the gop anything could go in the trash including emails, and phone records. Down the memory hole.
I am thankful that every one of my reps, from city council to Congress to governor is a Democrat, but it's still important for us to remind them who hired them and why.
Red state citizens need to try EVERYTHING to be heard. Even small things like letters to the editor can help. Make your voices heard.
in reply to Barbara Monaco

@Barbramon1 Exactly! If nothing else, our blue state representation needs to know we support their efforts and that we encourage them to do even more.
in reply to Rep. Shontel Brown

Thanks for being here! Not a lot of elected officials' voices here, and especially not from our #Ohio

@FallsMom
She's one of my faves. I'm a little pissed at these replies that assume everyone knows WTF is going on. What happened to meet people where they are? I think most of the country, due to our failed media, has no idea how bad this is.
I don't see anything on Greg Landsman's website. Deeply disappointed. This is a hair on fire moment.

@CatHerder
Agree! And the status of #Ohio DEMs is nearly powerless.

Will these "repliers" be happy if she says hey why bother w/ this Mastodon & leaves?

Fill her ears w/ thoughts & ideas!

@FallsMom
Last night I read that Dems were holding a public meeting today. I see it's scheduled for 1p from the USAID offices.
I hope they bring Dragons cuz this can't stand.
in reply to FallsMom 🟦 🌻

@FallsMom
Agreed. Reps that have created a presence here will likely be inundated with replies demanding their action.

However, that should not deter them from reaching out on this medium. It is appreciated.

in reply to Rep. Shontel Brown

Welcome!

I don't expect you to have "the plan" or "the solution" to it all.

Being here is valuable.

Penny Richards reshared this.

in reply to Rep. Shontel Brown

Agree 💯. What will House Dems do to grind everything to a halt until this is achieved?

Please get loud OFF of social media. Go on all news shows — MSNBC, CNN, and yes, even FOX.

As always, thank you for being active on #Mastodon and the #Fediverse.

...and you're going to do precisely what about it? Can't imagine that you're part of the solution.
in reply to Rep. Shontel Brown

You and your colleagues had better do the stopping because if the job falls to the people it’s going to get real ugly

@arrrg Seems like your caps lock is broken...
in reply to Rep. Shontel Brown

Come on people stop with the rage and try to focus!

Everyone is in here demanding the magic beans of politics, stat.

Things are happening, pay attention. Blockading the nominees like the Senator from Hawaii is doing is a great first step!

in reply to Rep. Shontel Brown

It looks like the ultimate skimming scheme, but it could be even more nefarious than that. All that sensitive data.
in reply to Rep. Shontel Brown

well stop posting it and do something! I am tired of Democrats just complaining and not doing shit.
in reply to Rep. Shontel Brown

Who is going to stop him? It will require actions outside of the law because there is no other option.
in reply to Rep. Shontel Brown

You're in Congress.

Give us details of what you have been doing, what the plan is for the future.

in reply to Rep. Shontel Brown

Hello

Thanks for reading my post.

My question is: what are you DOING to stop Trump?

How can those of us abroad who care about relatives, friends, etc in the US do to help?

in reply to Rep. Shontel Brown

And now he has access to our SS and Medicare info.

no disrespect ma’am but you’re in a better position than most people are to make this happen.
People will take your calls and meetings while we’re getting auto responses and voice mail. As enjoyable as howling into the void is it doesn’t seem to be working that well for us.
in reply to Rep. Shontel Brown

All correct.
Just ONE question:
If all of this is correct and therefore illegal -
Why is nobody showing up arresting them?
No police,
no homeland security,
no secret service,
no FBI
no NSA
...
NO ONE ?
WHY ?

It's the f**g TREASURY DEPARTMENT !
The Fort Knox of data! FFS

Has America already turned into a banana republic?
Democrats and sane republicans must stop this man, otherwise somebody else will stop him and Trump in an violent way.
We seen more of that.

@knordstrom @kataclyst
The fact that so few people have faith in the system is what is leading to our downfall. And we have lost faith because of empty platitudes like what @RepShontelBrown is doing here.

Don't tell us stuff we already know. Tell us what you're going to do about it.

HOW do we work together and resist? What is the plan??

in reply to Rep. Shontel Brown

So go down to where he is with a camera crew, film what he's doing and demand that he leaves! And when he doesn't, call the police! You are an elected official, he is a private citizen. DOGE is not a legal entity! YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY, NOT HIM!!!

I’m sorry for you, congressperson. I hope democracy survives in your country.
in reply to Rep. Shontel Brown

And yet if you want any information from the US National Transportation Safety Board you have to get it from X now.

No corruption in Trumps government???

in reply to Rep. Shontel Brown

Could you share what Democrats are doing as a unified party to fight for us? I know the media will not report so we are counting on you and other Reps to keep us informed.

I think I speak for a lot of people on here when I say I agree. But I’m pretty sure that, like me, many also wonder what our elected democratic representatives are doing to actually stop him?

yes, we know. So what are you going to do about it? Or what do you suggest anyone here does? We have enough outrage posts already.

It's a computer security nightmare, especially with classified information involved. I feel for any IT people that might be left.
in reply to Rep. Shontel Brown

found this, can you confirm?
nbcnews.com/politics/congress/…
in reply to Rep. Shontel Brown

Congress needs to tell the public what they want us to do to stop this. If there is no plan then you're wishing into the ether that this problem is solved in the passive voice without an actual actor. If you don't know what you're asking the public for, what infrastructure and organization exactly are THEY supposed to use to react to this? #USCongress is the infrastructure and organization! So ORGANIZE! Then tell us the official plan so we're not guessing independently!
in reply to Rep. Shontel Brown

More than that, he is a HOSTILE foreign NAZI agent handed the keys to our US Treasury. HE'S A GODDAMN CRIMINAL TRAITOR.
in reply to Rep. Shontel Brown

With respect ma'am, you're in a better position to do that than we are.

For what it's worth, you have my support for anything you can do to stop the morons.

in reply to Rep. Shontel Brown

👏 so what are the next steps to stop him? The damage is real already
in reply to Rep. Shontel Brown

All right, so do something about it!

Kick his ass to the curb and tell him he's not welcome!

in reply to Rep. Shontel Brown

Are we supposed to call ghostbusters or something? Because I all see is your party's leadership using Mr. "not an elected official"'s platform to say shit we already know.

Are you going to put your job on the line to stop this insanity? Words are cheap!
in reply to Rep. Shontel Brown

That last sentence is passive voice, and vague AF. If you intend to make a call for action, maybe announce where Musk and his little whiz kids are working, and when everyone should show up to make them extremely worried about what they're up to.
in reply to Rep. Shontel Brown

what are the Dems doing? Don't tell us what is happening so something or get new Dem leadership
in reply to Rep. Shontel Brown

we hear you, but where are the US Marshalls arresting Musk and his traitor minions?
in reply to Rep. Shontel Brown

all this is true. He has committed massive intelligence breaches. Why is he not in shackles?
in reply to Rep. Shontel Brown

please prioritize this and stop his team before he hacks into another gov agency! He will plow forward until he’s stoped, while the Senate is distracted with confirmation hearings. Dems need to put the brakes on everything in Congress until this is resolved! It is essentially an internal cyberattack, or worse!

Every Dem in Congress should go on strike!

Demand that Elon and his entire team be dealt with!

I do not know the details of us politics and i would like to ask a basic question. How can the Democratic party mount successful opposition against trump when it is not incentivised to do so by a political system with two-party dominance? From the outside perspective it looks like it does not need to do much apart from token resistance and virtue signaling to still be considered the only viable alternative for the republican party. This is not a personal attack on you at all I would just like to know what point do you see in participating in a game which (again to the outside observer) looks like rotten to the core. Maybe the answer to this question belongs in a FAQ somewhere :blobcat:
in reply to Rep. Shontel Brown

right, soooo a lot of people are wondering what Congress is doing, because from where I sit, it looks like nothing. I’m so disappointed.
in reply to Rep. Shontel Brown

We noticed that a month ago, welcome aboard. Now, get loud and make good trouble.
