The U.S. Treasury Department was hijacked over the weekend by the unelected, self-appointed head of a non-governmental group, Elon Musk. President Trump’s newly appointed Secretary of the Treasury cleared the way for Musk and a group of completely inexperienced accomplices to have complete access to all Treasury payments and all the personal data points they include. Do you receive Social Security or disability? Do you get a tax refund? This applies to you.

They brought in their own unsecured computers to plug into this vast database of Americans’ private information. Now they have control over what payment goes out and are actively threatening to stop payments to groups they don’t like, which is against the law, as Congress appropriates funds. Musk has bragged about this on X. This is essentially a coup, a national emergency, and yet there’s barely anything about it on the mainstream news. This news should be in three-inch, bold headlines! Do your own research. Contact your Congresspeople now and insist they act immediately to put a stop to it. This is not normal, resist!
