Democratic lawmakers are frustrated with Elon Musk’s government takeover, and they’re not afraid to show it. Reps. Gwen Moore and Judy Chu barged into House Speaker Mike Johnson’s office on Wednesday to confront him about the Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency gaining access to the U.S. Treasury Department’s federal payment system. The lawmakers forced their way into Johnson’s office shortly after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent arrived to discuss his tax agenda with the speaker.

Seth Magaziner (D-R.I.) said tech billionaire Elon Musk would be a “coward” if he refuses to testify before Congress about what the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is doing to revamp the federal government.

From USAID to the U.S. federal payment system, Musk is spearheading plans to audit and cut multiple government agencies
Operatives working for Elon Musk have gained unprecedented access to a swath of U.S. government departments — including agencies responsible for managing data on millions of federal employees and a system that handles $6 trillion in payments to Americans. During the first three weeks of Trump's second administration, Musk’s group of representatives — a presidential advisory board known as the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE — has taken control of top federal departments and datasets, despite questions about their security clearances, their cybersecurity practices, and the legality of Musk's activities. Whether a feat or a coup (which depends entirely on your point of view), a small group of mostly young, private-sector employees from Musk's businesses and associates — many with no prior government experience — can now view and, in some cases, control the federal government’s most sensitive data held on millions of Americans and the nation's closest allies.
