EXCERPT:
STANSBURY: "Oh, absolutely. So let me be clear. I’m not calling the consequences a joke. What I’m calling a joke is the idea that Elon Musk was going to somehow magically fix the government. The consequences have been absolutely devastating for the United States, for our federal workers, for programs, for our international standing. And right now, we just saw a judge yesterday in a federal court in San Francisco, ruled that the executive order that Donald Trump signed that set much of this in motion has to be immediately halted. So we are fighting back in Congress using our oversight capabilities. We’re fighting back in the courts. There’s now over 200 court cases with over 140 court injunctions against the Trump Administration. And we’re fighting back and educating folks in our communities, because at the end of the day, none of this has to happen. The Republicans are in the majority. All we need is for Republicans in the House to have a backbone and stand up for the Constitution and do their jobs, and we could stop this now. So it’s really important that we continue to organize in our communities, the people speak up and speak out, and Democrats are going to hold their feet to the fire and continue to do that work and to stop them at every step that we can."
