I am writing to you with grave concerns regarding the state of our government and the alarming developments surrounding Elon Musk’s unchecked access to critical federal systems and classified information. As of today, the passport application system is offline, and reports indicate that Musk and his unvetted team of data engineers are installing equipment on Office of Personnel Management (OPM) computers. There are further claims that they now have access to Secure Compartmented Information Facilities (SCIFs), putting our nation’s most sensitive secrets in the hands of a known security risk. Musk has a documented history of erratic behavior, foreign entanglements, and substance abuse. His direct communications with adversaries of the United States, combined with his unfettered access to national security infrastructure, pose an existential threat. The implications of this are catastrophic, yet Congress appears more focused on social media discourse about egg prices than on formulating a meaningful response. History has shown us how quickly democratic institutions can collapse when faced with authoritarian subversion. It took Hitler 53 days to consolidate power; we are now watching a similar playbook unfold. Reports of concentration camps being constructed at Guantanamo Bay are deeply disturbing, and yet Congress continues to react with feckless posts instead of coordinated resistance. This is not a moment for partisan grandstanding—it is a moment for action. You have the power to disrupt and resist. I implore you to do everything possible to halt this administration’s overreach, block its enablers, and safeguard what remains of our democracy. Legislative tools, procedural delays, oversight hearings—whatever it takes, you must act. I am urging you to make this your top priority. We are running out of time.
