Trump and Musk are trying to bulldoze every check on their power, but Congress still has the ability to fight back—if we make them. House Democrats need to go all-in to use their leverage and every procedural tool that's available to fight back, and Republicans need to feel the heat for enabling the Trump-Musk coup and cutting working people’s health care and food assistance to give massive tax breaks to billionaires.

Every single member of Congress must be forced to take a side. Will they stand with working people, or with the billionaires looting the country? Remind them that it's Elon or us, but it can't be both.

If You Have a Republican Member of Congress: Make Them Own the Coup

House Republicans aren’t just complicit in the Trump-Musk coup—they are actively fueling it. Instead of protecting everyday Americans, they’re ramming through an extremist spending bill, gutting critical programs, and shoveling billions in tax breaks to Trump’s billionaire cronies.

Every single Republican needs to feel the heat: If they vote for the Trump Tax Scam—if they keep looking the other way as Trump and Musk seize power—they will pay the price. Period.

Make them answer for their betrayal. Call them out in public, at town halls, in their district offices, and on their phone lines. Demand to know: Why are they slashing Medicaid and SNAP for working families just to hand massive tax cuts to billionaires? No hiding. No spin.
Force them to take a stance. Put them on record. Ask them point blank: Will you vote for the Trump Tax Scam that rips away healthcare and puts food assistance on the chopping block? No dodging. No excuses. Make them say it out loud.
Make sure voters never forget. If they vote for this tax scam, plaster their name all over their district. Every voter should know exactly who sold them out and who is responsible for the consequences.
Show up, online and in person. Drag their complicity into the light—blast them on social media, flood local news with letters and op-eds, take action in their districts. Let them know that we are watching.
