They think they can win elections with unlimited money. But in Wisconsin, we showed that organized people can beat big money. And in fact, we have turned what Elon Musk thought was his greatest strength, having unlimited cash, into his greatest weakness. Every dollar that Elon Musk started spending in that election started bringing him down because the American people, whether you are an independent, conservative, progressive, whatever you are, don't think that the richest man on earth should be able to buy politicians for himself in order to funnel money to himself and to other billionaires. And I think that that is the kind of message that the Democratic Party needs in order to win back the trust of working class voters, not just to win back the House, but actually to be the kind of party that this country needs in this moment. So, and, oh, go ahead. And I'm happy to pass it on to others here as well. Yeah, I mean, there were articles leading up to the Wisconsin race of pundits out there saying, well, maybe going after the richest man on earth isn't a good idea. But I think the people beat the pundits in that argument, where I think the overwhelming number of people said, no, we don't want the richest man on earth controlling our government, making us work longer hours for less pay and taking our taxpayer money for himself. That's, oh, you know, attacking the American, the richest man on earth, attacking the American people and trying to take over our government is deeply wrong. People know that in their gut. And this is exactly the kind of fight that I think Democrats need to make. Any,

yeah, Mark, no. So it was an important test that was passed that the people prevailed over a billionaire's obscene attempt to buy an election, literally buy an election, literally buy votes. But it's going to take vigilance from growing, growing engagement of more and more people. I think people are beginning to tune in. But we're facing executive orders from Donald Trump to suppress votes and to require ridiculous ID requirements. And so, look, the battle against the billionaire is just the beginning. But it's reassuring to know that we can beat a billionaire. But we've got all sorts of other things that we've got to confront. And people, I'm encouraged, are going to wake up and pay more attention.

There's a

lot of lessons to take from Wisconsin, but I think one of the primary lessons is that not only is Elon Musk's agenda deeply unpopular, and he's one of the most unpopular political figures in modern history, he's toxic to the Republican brand. And I think that's what was revealed by the Wisconsin race and that American democracy is not for sale. And you've seen in the days after the Wisconsin race that Republicans themselves, whether they're members of Congress, people who are in Trump's inner circle, and people who are in the constellation of the GOP world have been saying Musk has got to go because he is toxic to the president and to the GOP brand. Why is he toxic? Because of all of the things that we've laid out, the ways in which he's disrupted the economy, the ways in which he's carelessly and recklessly fired thousands of people, the ways in which he has inflicted harm on people across the world, and the ways in which he has literally tried to buy elections. And the American people are fed up with it, and that's why they want him to go as well.

My whole life, I've been working to try to get Democrats to turn out to vote, particularly in special elections. I want to thank Elon Musk. He did a better job at it than I ever did. People were always suspicious the billionaires

were running the government behind the curtain. But now Elon Musk is out there bragging about it in public. And I think that's devastating. Brian? I think you'll be hearing about those as we get closer to the day. But we are asking the president to make clear by May Day, by May 1st, whether he's going to follow the law or try to buck the law. But there are many options at our disposal. But I think that we're going to ask. Sure. We made a choice. I just don't know. I just don't know. I just don't know. I just don't know. I just don't know. I just don't know. I just

don't know. I just don't know. I I just don't know. I just don't know. I just don't know. I just don't know. I just don't

Well, I'll make clear again, there are many options in the courts available to fire Elon Musk. There are legislative options available for us to fire Elon Musk. And most importantly, I think public pressure will do the trick to make sure we fire Elon Musk. He has 50 days to resign under the law, or else even more of those legal and legislative options would be on the table. I

do want to push back a little bit on the narrative that we've been unsuccessful in the courts. There are now over 170 court cases that have been filed against the administration for egregious breaches of the law. And in almost nearly every case on the merits of the case itself, we have won. The American people and the Constitution has won. In a number of cases, there have been outcomes, including some of the recent Supreme Court decisions that questioned jurisdictional questions, but not the merits of the case itself. It is very clear that Donald Trump and Elon Musk are breaking the law, and the law is very clear on the service of an SGE. And if he tries to stay beyond his allocated time, their courts will be involved. And so we will pursue legal avenues, absolutely. Just

say in addition to the ending of his tenure, I'll be announcing at a Tesla dealership in my district legislation to require him to file the financial disclosures. We need to know what he was doing. We know that he owns a lot of Tesla stock and SpaceX. We need to know what else he was doing, particularly in the crypto. And

sorry, can you your name in outlets. I know many of you, but it's the season. Yeah, no problem. I want to hand it over to those who haven't gotten a chance to speak up yet. But Republican members of Congress know that what they're doing is deeply unpopular. They know that it is deeply unpopular for them to continue supporting a billionaire who is calling Social Security a Ponzi scheme. Republican members of Congress know it's deeply unpopular for them to support a billionaire who's trying to take away working class Americans' health care in order to pay for billionaire tax cuts. So these Republican members of Congress now have to decide whether they want to continue to act as Trump-Musk employees or as members of Congress. Otherwise, they're going to lose their elections. The budget that just passed today, where the House and Senate agree that they're coming after your health care, the Republicans are coming after your health care, they're coming after veterans benefits in order to pay for billionaire tax cuts. That passed by one vote. If one member, Republican member of Congress, had voted with their district instead of with Trump-Musk, they could have stopped this. And so now it's on every single Republican member of Congress. If you have a Republican member of Congress, they can make the difference if they come out and say, we're going to go with Musk and Trump and take away your health care or whether they're going to go with their constituents. So it's got them very nervous. And if we succeed in getting Musk out in the next 50 days, it'll be the greatest victory by Democrats so far of the Trump administration.

Well, a lot of the whispers from our Republican colleagues have gotten louder. I'll speak by positions on both the Foreign Affairs and the Science, Space and Technology Committee. The work there is about American leadership in the world. And say what you will about our differences in policies, there's no way that we are America first when you cut at the bone of America's leadership with regard to USAID, with American leadership. If you start to be anti-science and we can't have the same pipeline of talented people working on issues that are sort of non-controversial, protecting our coastlines. You know, if you're on the science committee, that's something that you shouldn't care about. And so I would say that what I've heard and directly from a lot of our colleagues is they're afraid about American leadership in the world. This week's panic over tariffs illustrates that we are seeing a policy that is putting America last, that is putting Putin first. This is something that I call on my Republican colleagues to stand up. You'll have friends on the other side of the aisle if you demonstrate some courage. But if you are silent, you are complicit, and you are letting Elon Musk do whatever he wants to hurt your constituents as well as ours. And so I am hoping that, you know, when folks spend the next two weeks at home, that they hear a little something something. And I'm certain they are going to hear from their constituents, Elon Musk has got to go.
