On Tuesday, 25 Democratic senators released separate videos parroting the same script slamming President Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
In the morning, Senators Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), and Cory Booker (D-N.J.) were mocked by X users for posting videos reciting near-identical lines before Trump's first speech to Congress.
'Who is writing the words that the puppets speak?'
However, as the day unfolded, more than two dozen Democratic senators posted similar videos echoing the same script, including Dick Durbin (Ill.), Chris Coons (Del.), Tammy Baldwin (Wis.), Tammy Duckworth (Ill.), Tim Kaine (Va.), Chris Van Hollen (Md.), Gary Peters (Mich.), Mazie Hirono (Hawaii), Peter Welch (Vt.), Ben Ray Luján (N.M.), Martin Heinrich (N.M.), Jeff Merkley (Ore.), Mark Kelly (Ariz.), Brian Schatz (Hawaii), Andy Kim (N.J.), Alex Padilla (Calif.), Mark Warner (Va.), Richard Blumenthal (Conn.), Angela Alsobrooks (Md.), Ed Markey (Mass.), Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.), and Sheldon Whitehouse (R.I.).

The senators' videos matched so closely that many followed the same movements for the introduction: reading the first line before taking a seat to continue reading the remainder of the script.
The video opened with a short clip of Trump vowing to lower the cost of living for Americans beginning on the first day of his presidency.
"S*** that ain't true," all of the Democrats stated. "That's what you just saw."
"Since day one of Donald Trump's presidency, prices are up, not down. Inflation is getting worse, not better. The prices of groceries, gas, housing, eggs, they're all getting more expensive. Meanwhile, Donald Trump has done nothing to lower costs for you," they said with slight variations.
"Instead, he's pardoned violent criminals who beat police officers on January 6," the videos continued, cutting from the senators to show a clip from the protest at the Capitol.
"He's letting Elon Musk take a chainsaw to vital government programs. And then, even worse, giving him access to Americans' most sensitive data — Social Security numbers, tax returns, health care bills," the Democrats stated.
They accused Trump and Musk of firing "thousands of essential workers" and freezing funding for "vital programs."
"Why are they doing this? Trump, Musk, DOGE [Department of Government Efficiency] are taking these vital services away from you for one reason only: so they can give tax breaks to their billionaires' club," they added.
"Billionaires win; families lose. And that is the truth," the senators concluded.
Musk fired back at the Democratic senators for repeating the same lines.
"They are all actors reading a script," he wrote on X.
In a separate post, he called the senators "lazy propagandists."
"Who is writing the words that the puppets speak? That's the real question," Musk added.
Republican Senator Mike Lee (Utah) also responded to the controversy.
"It's almost like someone's telling Democrats what to say," Lee wrote.

Dems push Biden to extend deportation shields for illegal aliens in last-minute plea
A group of Democratic senators is relentlessly pushing President Joe Biden (D) to extend deportation protections to illegal aliens ahead of President-elect Donald Trump's upcoming term.
On Monday, seven senators sent a letter to Biden, urging him to redesignate Temporary Protected Status "for All Eligible Countries and Consider Providing Deferred Enforced Departure."
'At risk of being sent back to horrific conditions.'
TPS allows foreign nationals from designated countries to remain in the United States for a temporary period of time. Countries are added to the list when it is deemed unsafe for their citizens to return due to ongoing conflicts, environmental disasters, or other "extraordinary and temporary conditions."
Eligible individuals cannot be deported and may be granted work and travel authorizations during their stay.
According to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, there are currently 17 countries designated for TPS, including Afghanistan, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Syria, Ukraine, and Venezuela.
TPS status is slated to expire for the above-mentioned nations in 2025.
Over the past year, many violent gang members from Venezuela have infiltrated the U.S. and set up operations in several states. While the Democratic senators did not specifically call for TPS to be extended for Venezuelan nationals, their Monday letter indicated Biden should continue providing protections for "all eligible countries."
"We urge your administration to offer vital protections via TPS for eligible countries or parts of countries, providing relief from deportation while allowing these individuals to continue working and contributing to our economy. Where TPS is not an option, we strongly urge the administration to protect qualified vulnerable noncitizens through DED," the letter read.
In addition to granting TPS status to many countries, Biden also extended DED to foreign nationals from Lebanon, Hong Kong, and Palestine. Those protections are scheduled to expire in January 2026, February 2025, and August 2025 respectively.
The USCIS states that DED "is not a specific immigration status," but it shields eligible individuals from deportation.
Democratic senators also called for Biden to "Expedite the Processing of Benefit Requests for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) Recipients" and "Prioritize Adjudication of Pending Asylum Claims."
The letter to the president was signed by Democratic Senators Richard Durbin of Illinois, Cory Booker of New Jersey, Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada, Tammy Duckworth of Illinois, Mazie Hirono of Hawaii, Ben Ray Luján of New Mexico, and Alex Padilla of California.
On Wednesday, Cortez Masto, Ray Luján, and Padilla hosted a press conference, further pressuring Biden to act.
"There are thousands of immigrant families from countries who clearly qualify for TPS that are at risk of being sent back to horrific conditions," Cortez Masto stated. "Many of these immigrants, along with so many of our Dreamers, have been living and working in our communities for years. President Biden should act now to protect these immigrant communities and keep families together."
Trump has already indicated that he is willing to "work with the Democrats on a plan" that would allow Dreamers to remain in the U.S. and obtain legal status.
However, Cortez Masto stated during the press conference that she is skeptical Trump will follow through on that promise.
Luján said, "To ensure the safety and security of immigrant communities across the country, we are urging President Biden to take steps to designate, redesignate, and extend TPS for Ecuador, Nicaragua, and El Salvador, as well as expedite the process for DACA recipients to renew their status. I will not remain silent when it comes to protecting our immigrant families and will continue to fight to protect our most vulnerable."
Padilla called Trump's mass deportation plans "immoral" for "taking away lawful status and work authorization for these individuals." He claimed the effort would "be gutting critical sectors of our workforce."
There is currently no indication that the Biden administration plans to take the requested actions.
The White House did not respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.
