Stop the Trump-Musk Coup

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are staging an administrative coup, trying to illegally eliminate agencies, seize control of the U.S. government's payment systems, and gain access to sensitive data on all Americans without any oversight. It's time to fight back like our democracy depends on it. Sign up below, and we'll keep you updated with ways to take action on your home turf.

  • TAKE ACTION

  • ABOUT

    • In a matter of days, Trump’s administration has already attempted an unprecedented seizure of power:

    • The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued a memo cutting all federal funds for child nutrition, healthcare for tens of millions, domestic violence shelters, veterans’ programs, and more. It was an unambiguous act of economic terrorism.
    • Massive public backlash forced Trump into retreat within 72 hours. A federal judge issued an injunction, and Trump backed off—for now.
    • Reports broke that Elon Musk, an unelected billionaire, was demanding access to the Treasury Payments system.
    • We learned that Treasury Secretary Bessent had given Musk’s team full access to a system that moves trillions of dollars. 

    What the hell is happening?

    We do not know what Musk intends to do. Will he cut off payments to safety-net programs? Will he siphon off confidential financial data for himself? The only thing we do know is that there is zero oversight and no reason to trust him. Nobody elected Elon.

    At the same time, Project 2025 architect Russell Vought is up for confirmation as the head of OMB. If confirmed, he will consolidate total control over the federal budget, turning Trump’s slash-and-burn memo into reality. 

    What we need right now is an unprecedented show of constituent power to demand that Democrats in Congress fight back and hold Republicans accountable for their complicity to extract a political cost.

    WHAT YOU CAN DO TO FIGHT BACK

    If you have a Democratic senator, make their life hell until they fight back. Demand that they block every Trump nominee. Demand they shut down the Senate until this crisis is addressed. Demand they use every parliamentary tool available to obstruct Trump’s agenda.

    If you have a Republican senator, hammer them on Russell Vought’s confirmation. We need four votes to flip. And behind closed doors, we know Republicans are shaking in their boots about Project 2025. They should either vote against him—or suffer the political fallout.

    Get in the streets and into their offices. Nothing rattles a senator like dozens of constituents physically showing up at their office demanding action. That is what we need this week. 

  • SENATE OFFICE VISITS
    • People holding signs that say Block, Delay, Obstruct, No Excuses and No One Elected Elon Musk

    SHOW UP TO IN-STATE SENATE OFFICES

    This week, thousands of people across the country are showing up to their U.S. Senators' in-state offices to tell them we're paying attention. Find an event near you or plan your own using our Choose to Fight toolkit.

    • How Senate Democrats Can Delay & Defy Trump's Agenda with Procedural Hardball

      The rules of the Senate are designed to protect the rights of the minority, and Democrats have tools at their disposal to grind Senate business to a halt if Republicans try to ram through Trump’s extremist agenda. The three biggest weapons? Blanket opposition, quorum calls, and blocking unanimous consent—parliamentary guerrilla tactics that can slow, stall, and obstruct at every turn. Here’s how they work and why Democrats need to use them aggressively.

      Step 1

    • Trump’s Dictatorial Power Grab: Chaos, Cruelty, and Constitutional Collapse

      Donald Trump isn’t governing—he’s launching a coup against the American people. In an illegal and devastating move, he has frozen billions in federal funding for programs that keep kids fed, families housed, and students educated. This isn’t just a policy memo—it’s a direct assault on the Constitution and the lives of millions of Americans. Learn more about it here.

    • Tell These Senate Democrats: When We Said Fight, We Meant Fight

      22 Senate Democrats (Bennet, Blumenthal, Cortez Masto, Durbin, Fetterman, Gallego, Gillibrand, Hassan, Heinrich, Hickenlooper, Kaine, Kelly, Klobuchar, Luján, Ossoff, Peters, Rosen, Schiff, Shaheen, Slotkin, Warnock, Welch) just voted to confirm Trump’s pick for the Department of Veterans Affairs. We need them to stop caving and start fighting. Call now and demand they find their spines.

      Step 1

    • Email These Senate Democrats and Tell Them to Find Their Spines

      22 Senate Democrats voted on February 4th to confirm Doug Collins—one of Trump's loyalists—as Secretary of Veterans Affairs. This is not resistance. This is complicity. Email them now and tell them you're paying attention to every vote.

      Step 2

    TRUMP IS NOT A KING—AND WE ARE NOT POWERLESS

    Trump wants you to feel powerless. Do not fall for it. Republicans hold Congress, but they are not all-powerful. The only way they succeed in breaking the government, defunding vital programs, and handing the spoils to billionaires like Musk is if we let them.

    We are at a breaking point. Democrats can fight like hell, or they can roll over and let this happen. But if they choose the latter, we must make sure they regret it. And for Republicans—they need to hear loud and clear that their constituents (the people they work for) will not stand by as they let Donald Trump and an unelected billionaire sell our democracy for parts. 

    Remember: Trump is not invincible. He has no mandate. His agenda is cruel, corrupt, chaotic, and deeply unpopular. And the longer it goes on, the harder it is to sustain in the face of real opposition. That’s our job now—to build that opposition. We need you to step up, speak out, and demand a real fight.
