Every Democratic senator and representative should be raising a stink about Elon Musk. Musk is an unelected official in an imaginary government agency. He has no business sticking his nasty fingers in any government database. Good grief! We might as well let Putin become treasury secretary. I'm calling my representatives, who are Republicans, every day about this horrorific turn of events. I may be yelling into the void, but I'm yelling. Those of you who have Democratic representatives, please call them and express your anger and concern. I've read many times that only calls are noted. Not emails or letters. Please call! Please! I'll be calling, too. And while, you've got them on the phone, ask them to vote against any and all of the Felon's cabinet nominees.
