Donald Trump has given Elon Musk unprecedented power

Hey there folks – Governor Tim Walz here and I want to make something clear: A billionaire tech mogul shouldn’t be running our government, but that’s exactly what’s happening. Donald Trump has given Elon Musk unprecedented power and instead of delivering real results for working families, Elon is working to slash essential programs, defund life-saving medical research, and to try and lower his own taxes. That’s why Democratic governors like myself are standing strong as the last line of defense and blockading Elon and Trump’s destructive agenda – but we need your support to keep up our efforts. So will you chip in $3 to the DGA right now to help elect Dem govs? If you donate before midnight, your donation will even be triple-matched up to our $250,000 end-of-quarter goal. Donate $3 (and have it TRIPLE-MATCHED!) Team, Trump’s vision for our country is simple: Billionaires are in charge, special interests are calling the shots, and working people are left to fend for themselves. Elon Musk and Donald Trump are going to continue to go after our Social Security. Trump’s tariffs are going to continue to raise prices, hurting you, your families and small businesses. And they’re going to continue to try to give huge tax cuts to billionaires on top of it all. We can’t sit back and let that happen. Democratic governors are fighting to move our states forward: We’re fully funding our public schools, expanding access to affordable health care, codifying reproductive rights, and cutting taxes for working people – not billionaires. Republicans are dodging questions and avoiding accountability – and honestly, I don’t blame them. Who would want to defend cutting Medicare and Medicaid, underfunding local schools, and President Musk? Meanwhile, Democratic governors like myself are listening, engaging, and taking action. The facts are clear: One party stands with Elon Musk, billionaires, and the dismantling of America as we know it. The other stands for protecting and delivering for working families. But with 38 governors’ races on the ballot this November and in 2026, including battleground states like Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Georgia, our ability to deliver and stop Elon and Trump is in jeopardy. Republicans are already gearing up to attack our blue firewall. As a former DGA chair, I know that early investments can make the difference between winning and losing and with so much on the line, we can’t afford to fall short now.

As Governor, he’s delivered real results for working families – expanding free school meals, paid family and medical leave, and codifying reproductive rights. He is ready to continue his work moving Minnesota forward, stopping GOP efforts to take us backward, and fighting for our shared future – but he can’t do it alone.
