On the recordFebruary 4, 2025
Day after day, Donald Trump is abusing power, breaking the law, and tearing apart our Constitution. Trump has handed over the government to Elon Musk, an unelected billionaire who does not care about the American people. Trump has given Musk and his cronies extensive access to confidential, personal information across all Federal agencies, including the Treasury. The Treasury makes 1.5 billion payments a year to taxpayers, businesses, and seniors, everything from Social Security benefits to tax refunds, Medicare, and Medicaid. Musk now has access to Americans' confidential tax refund information, which includes their names, Social Security numbers, and home addresses. That is why I am headed to Treasury this evening to stand up for Arizonans' privacy and to stand up for our democracy. As a member of the House Oversight Committee, we are calling out this breach of law, privacy, and national security on behalf of the American people. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Loudermilk). Members are reminded to refrain from engaging in personalities toward the President. ____________________
