From Congressman Hank Johnson:

I wanted to provide you with an important update from Washington. Government funding runs out at midnight – and Congress must act quickly to meet the needs of working families and provide disaster relief across the country, particularly here in Georgia.

Sadly, Elon Musk has other plans. The world’s richest man, and someone no one has elected to anything, has ordered House Republicans to shut down the government. Musk’s goals are simple: He wants to pave the way for huge new tax breaks for himself and other billionaire insiders.

And the endgame for Musk and House Republicans is to make seniors and veterans foot the bill with cuts to Social Security and health care.

@crecente Hank Johnson is apparently talking about Elon Musk, who has no vote in Congress, but how did Johnson vote?

Did he vote against funding government? Or is he trying to deflect the authority that he actually has towards someone who has no actual authority in this?

Elon Musk is not in Congress. He has no authority here. But a whole lot of people who could vote to fund government sure seem eager to talk about Elon instead of actually doing their jobs.
