Donald Trump’s Elon Musk drawback continues to develop.
Trump appears to have made two fatally flawed assumptions when he empowered Elon Musk. Trump seems to be have believed that Republicans may get issues accomplished on their very own, and he additionally thought that Democrats would assist him.
It’s the second assumption that received a dose of actuality from the Congressional Progressive Caucus.
Congressional Progressive Caucus Chair Greg Casar (D-TX) mentioned at a press convention:
 Our members know tips on how to struggle the billionaires, the grifters, and the Republican frauds in Congress. That is what this second requires. And other people have been asking us, what are you able to do? What is going to you do? Properly, I will inform you proper now, we’re going to use each legislative, judicial, and public strain instrument at our disposal as members of Congress till we fireplace Elon Musk.
Our total time, my total time in Congress, I’ve by no means seen Republicans be capable of go a finances. They’ll by no means get that collectively. And so they all the time come crawling to Democrats for assist. Properly, we aren’t going to assist Republicans. Preserve Elon Musk stealing our taxpayer {dollars}. We’re not going to assist these Republicans that wish to preserve Elon Musk in command of the complete federal authorities.
We’re not going to assist Republicans permit Elon Musk to interrupt the legislation, shred our Structure, whereas he makes billions of {dollars} in wealth for himself. Elon Musk spent 270 million to get Donald Trump elected president, and he is elevated 160 billion of his personal wealth since that election. We’re not going to, I for one, and I believe many people right here, aren’t going to simply stand by and hand over our votes if that continues.
We’re going to struggle to fireside Elon Musk, or at a minimal, anyone on this nation, anyone in Congress, ought to not less than agree that he should not be given unconstitutional powers to counterpoint himself with our taxpayer cash. So, keep in mind, that in Donald Trump’s final time period, People got here collectively. They rose up in each single district on this nation and saved the Reasonably priced Care Act.
Republicans had management of the federal government, however Democrats stood united. Democrats went and gave our message out into the group. The group responded and rose up and tens of millions of individuals’s well being care was saved. Equally, the Congressional Progressive Caucus goes to steer alongside leaders on this nation to fireside Elon Musk.
To save lots of our healthcare, save our colleges, save our taxpayer {dollars}, cease the corruption, and I believe it is a struggle that we are able to choose, and that we are able to win.

Trump and the Republicans desperately want Democratic assistance on all budgetary and authorities funding points. Republicans have wanted Democratic assist to go these payments for many years, so if Democrats refuse to assist, Trump and his occasion probably can’t get something accomplished to fund or preserve the federal government open.

No assist for Democrats may very properly equal a shutdown of authorities and no tax breaks for the rich and companies.
