Elon Musk and his other unelected, unconfirmed cronies in the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) seized full and unprecedented access to the federal Treasury’s payment system. Let’s be clear: this is not only unprecedented – it’s illegal and unconstitutional.

This means they now have access to sensitive data like your tax records and social security number – and could withhold or slash Congressionally approved government spending however they like. Tens of thousands of normal Treasury payment system functions like paying federal employees’ salaries, distributing tax refunds, and funding grant recipients are now in jeopardy.

And, hundreds of millions of Americans rely on critical government programs like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Meals on Wheels, and Head Start – whose fates are now left to the whims of Elon Musk’s ploys to steal from everyday Americans and fill his own pockets.

Take action: call your representative today and ask what they’re doing to stop Elon Musk’s crime spree.

2. Give them a call.

We recommend you call the number for your local district office, rather than their D.C. office. If you’re not sure what to say, here’s a script you can use – but feel free to personalize your message.

“Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m calling from [TOWN/CITY] to express my concern regarding Elon Musk’s illegal and unconstitutional power grab within the federal government.

I’m distressed to see him gain access to the Treasury’s payment system. I want to know what [CONGRESSMEMBER] is doing to protect my private data and ensure that funding to critical government programs that I rely on won’t be slashed.”
