As attorneys general, we will not yield to the President or Elon Musk. Musk currently operates without accountability, pushing for an ideological litmus test by pausing funds for essential services like Social Security, veteran payments, and state aid. This is unconstitutional and unacceptable. We are prepared to uphold the law against these overreaches of authority. We've already acted when birthright citizenship and NIH funding were challenged, securing temporary restraining orders (TROs). We also acted when funding was paused for agencies, meals on wheels, veteran services and law enforcement grants, securing TROs. We'll continue to challenge these actions in court to protect the Constitution, reminding the President, Musk, and others that our government is not unilateral. Congressional consent is required, and we are confident we'll obtain a preliminary injunction.

We're exploring a nationwide class-action lawsuit against Musk and the Trump administration for the breach of American taxpayer data. This would be on behalf of all Americans; those who don't want to participate can opt out. Our information belongs to the people, not Elon Musk. Government statutes clearly state this data is only for tax purposes, and we need to know how it's being misused.

Elon, take your millions and your Moscow ties to the moon, or we will stand up, speak out, and march. We will do whatever it takes to ensure the people of this country know that the CFPB is for them. Take your hands off our money, or go to Moscow.

Elon Musk did not create USAID, and he cannot destroy it. We will stop him. Musk may have gained control over financial systems, but he does not control the American people's money. His actions threaten lives globally, impacting crucial programs like HIV and AIDS prevention and anti-malarial education. Regardless of Musk's intentions, they do not align with the laws established by Congress. We will defend USAID. Reports indicate that evaluations have been removed from the USAID website, jeopardizing major foreign aid programs totaling less than $40 billion, while the Pentagon budget is nearly $900 billion. Musk, who became wealthy from public funds, is attempting to undermine USAID, but we will not allow this to happen.

The Doge team is following the money to make real changes. New York is prioritizing illegal aliens over American citizens, but that stops today. Our committee will focus on bringing full transparency to waste, fraud, and abuse within the federal government, and present plans to fix these problems. We will fight the war on waste with President Trump, Elon Musk, and the Doge team. This week, we're focusing on improper payments by the federal government, including in Medicaid and Medicare. Elon Musk is showing the country the fraud, waste, and abuse that has been going on for decades, and Americans are cheering. Reciprocal tariffs will make America great again.

I want to talk about waste, fraud, and abuse. People like President Musk and Trump are using their public offices to enrich themselves by billions of dollars. Why is there silence about looking into the actions of the president and the richest man on Earth? I will say President Musk and Trump often use their public offices to enrich themselves. I will withdraw calling Trump "grifter-in-chief." It's despicable that this committee is silencing me for bringing up that Trump is making millions of dollars.

Elon Musk is taking control in a way that undermines the American people, and we are here to resist this move.

Musk's special government employee classification doesn't grant him access to Treasury or USAID systems; this is a temporary position, not a permanent role. The current administration disregards legal and constitutional boundaries. We'll be taking action in Congress, including filing privileged motions and pursuing amicus briefs to counter this. Federal unions are suing to prevent Musk from accessing sensitive data. Democrats will support these lawsuits and amplify the concerns of our constituents. Trump's appointment of Darren Beatty, who espouses white supremacist views, is unacceptable. Beatty's past actions and recent statements reveal his unsuitability for public office. This appointment, along with others, reflects a pattern of placing white supremacists in positions of power, undermining our democracy. We will continue to fight against this.

Unelected judges are attempting to control government spending, violating the separation of powers. This is happening to people like Elon Musk, a great man, and it's outrageous. People work hard and pay taxes, only to see their money spent on things like $2,000,000 for sex changes in Guatemala. This will stop. We're fighting back against agencies like USAID. This is happening daily, but the DOJ is prepared to defend these cases. We are committed to carrying out President Trump's agenda.

The courts are the first line of defense against illegal activity. I'm working with lawyers bringing these cases forward, and we're seeing many temporary restraining orders issued recently. This reflects the Trump administration's illegal use of executive orders to bypass Congress and make sweeping changes. I'd like to see Doge and Project 2025 put up for a vote in Congress; I believe they would fail. Trump avoided these issues on the campaign trail because they're unpopular. Now, he's using executive orders to push them through and has Elon Musk doing his "dirty work".

Big Tish James, the New York attorney general, should think carefully before continuing her legal actions against President Trump in his second term. There will be serious consequences for any violations of his constitutional rights or those of other Americans. This administration is different; we are prepared and will not tolerate any election rigging or illegal voting. The team is ready to take decisive action against any wrongdoing.

We will challenge this illegitimate president and focus on Donald Trump. Investigating his finances fuels my determination. As the attorney general, I sue him regularly.

It's unacceptable that payments are being made to New York and other states because it's unconstitutional, biased, and an overreach of authority. Attorneys general across the nation need to uphold the rule of law. No one is above the law, not Elon Musk, treasury officials, or even the President. As attorneys general, we've been preparing for this situation. While this isn't the outcome we desired, we are ready to act.

There's graft occurring, and the left is upset because Elon Musk bravely stated there is a paper trail that will expose where taxpayer money is going, likely into politicians' pockets. In the past, it's been documented to go into campaigns, but now, people, possibly even members of Congress, should go to jail if they or their family members are profiting from this. Billionaires form NGOs with prominent board members, and the government dumps stolen taxpayer money into them, which is then filtered out among board members and political friends. Musk will document this, which is why there's such a strong reaction. Many prominent Democrats have ties to these NGOs, including Obama's transportation secretary, Biden's EPA chief, Nancy Pelosi, and Gavin Newsom. The hope is to prevent America from going bankrupt.

Letitia James poses an existential threat. She’s the “queen of lawfare,” wielding significant power in New York City. With a left-leaning media, jury pool, and judges, she can easily bring bogus criminal charges. This is a serious threat to President Trump and his associates, including Elon Musk and others. I'm calling on Attorney General Pam Bondi to launch a criminal investigation into James and Alvin Bragg for their actions against President Trump. Trump himself has highlighted James as a major threat. This out-of-control situation demands immediate attention.

Tomorrow, I will hold a news conference to reveal the names of entities receiving hundreds of millions, even billions, of dollars. If you believe these entities deserve the funding, you shouldn't be a reporter. Billions are being wasted illegally, and I believe kickbacks are involved. When someone gets millions for a mere fifteen-minute assessment, that money is coming back somehow. This corruption significantly harms our country through massive expenditures. I reviewed 200 expenditures and found only three reasonable. We'll discuss this further tomorrow. I commend Elon Musk; despite daily abuse, he has uncovered more than anyone else. His team of geniuses, starting with 12 and now almost a hundred, is helping expose massive fraud.

A New York judge, Engelmayer, issued an order barring all political appointees, including the Secretary of the Treasury, from accessing US Treasury data. This was done without citing any law, precedent, or reason, and the order was ex parte, meaning it couldn't be challenged initially. Only Democrat attorneys general could weigh in. Current Treasury employees retain access, leaving the Secretary with less power than subordinates. While initially a week-long order, Democrat attorneys general aim to make it permanent. I find this action seditious and treasonous—unacceptable interference by state judges and attorneys general in the executive branch's affairs. This is outrageous; those responsible should face jail time.

Violent rhetoric from Democrat leaders is unacceptable and would provoke outrage if it came from Republicans. President Trump was elected with a mandate to improve government efficiency, partnering with Elon Musk to lead this initiative. They aimed to ensure accountability in federal spending for American taxpayers. The calls for violence and street protests from Democrat officials are alarming and warrant accountability for their statements.

All the other side wants to talk about is Elon Musk, but where were they when Fauci was forcing vaccine and mask mandates? Or when Mayorkas was letting illegal aliens invade our country? Or when Cardona was targeting those who disagreed with his transgender ideology? Or when Gensler was blocking financial market growth? They didn't care because it benefited them. Musk is an employee of the President, and we have a mandate to do what he's doing. His job is to carry out the will of the people. The Democrats have grown and weaponized the administrative state, and people are fed up. We're talking about $2.7 trillion in improper payments since 2003, possibly the biggest money laundering scandal ever, and the other side doesn't care. Is it because this money funds their side? It funds media outlets that cover for them, left-wing NGOs, and transgender activism. This money, taken from Americans, is being used against them.

Let's be clear: Elon Musk, the world's wealthiest man, contributed heavily to Donald Trump's election. Since then, his wealth has skyrocketed, and he's now targeting USAID, a vital program aiding the world's poorest. This is unacceptable. His next targets will likely be programs impacting families directly—Medicaid, Medicare, education, affordable housing, and more. We must fight back. This country is a democracy; our government should work for everyone, not just billionaires. Let's organize and tell Trump that this isn't right. We can stop this. We can protect these essential programs and ensure a government that serves all its citizens. Let's stand together and fight for what's right. Thank you.

I'm concerned about the immense power Elon Musk could wield over Americans and I believe we must resist this. It's imperative to fight back against such concentrated control. We need to investigate potential illegal activities when vast sums of money vanish. If we avoid scrutiny, fail to question, and neglect to expose these issues, we'll remain ignorant of the truth. It's our responsibility to uncover these financial mysteries and make them public.

Big Tish James, the New York attorney general, should reconsider her actions against President Trump during his second term. There will be serious consequences for any attempts to violate his or any American's constitutional rights. This administration is not the same as before, and any illegal activities, such as rigging elections or fraudulent voting, will not be tolerated. The team supporting Trump is determined and prepared to take action against any wrongdoing.

Elon Musk is calling for the impeachment of activist judges who are obstructing a critical criminal investigation uncovering widespread corruption across 15 agencies. This corruption involves judges' families benefiting from departments Trump is auditing. Our constitutional values are being tested, and our institutions are near a breaking point. Courts must enforce the rule of law against arbitrary actions. I hope those in charge will ensure honesty and competence in agencies like USAID, which is deeply corrupt. We've already found billions in fraud and abuse, potentially reaching a trillion dollars. Judges blocking investigations slow momentum, allowing cover-ups. I always abide by court decisions but will appeal. We were elected to find this corruption, and the court system must allow us to do our job.

I just spoke with some Republican members who are frustrated with Musk's involvement in political discussions. They are upset about his threats on X regarding primaries and feel he shouldn't interfere in the processes of elected officials. It's important to remember that Musk is not an elected representative; despite his wealth, he has no mandate from the public.

California, we need to address Elon Musk. Nobody elected him to control our private information or payments. He's profited enough from our government and now wants to dictate how we manage our finances. We must protect our federal employees and assert that this is our country, not Musk's or Trump's. The billionaire class is trying to dominate and profit at our expense, but we will not allow it. They are creating cryptocurrency to enrich themselves, not to benefit the people. We must stand firm, regardless of the weather, and demand decent jobs and respect. Musk won't even meet with local officials, showing his disregard for the community. We cannot be intimidated; when the people fight, we win. Thank you.
