Elon Musk, head of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, has seized information from the U.S. Treasury including financial and personal identifying information to stop payments from the United States Agency for International Development.
Musk has said it’s part of a larger effort to cut what he sees as waste and fraud and even criminal activity out of government.
Publicly, the Treasury has said that Musk and DOGE just have read-only access, but Democratic lawmakers are still alarmed. Carolina Connections’
Carolina Connection’s W.H. Hayes is joined by North Carolina 4th District Congresswoman Valerie Foushee to talk about Democrats’ response to DOGEs unprecedented actions.
Thank you for staying in the fight for us. So sorry I missed your town hall tonight. You have my support and prayers. I’m sure it isn’t easy, but it is always a good day to do a good thing!
I miss your town hall. It’s great that you are doing what need for your folks. Keep the fight alive.
I’m so glad you are working on this because I’m getting text message for suposedly Elon Musk and getting messages from Elon Musk on my tiktok page. It’s very scary in the times we are living in. Thanks for calling me sorry I missed your meeting. Hopefully one day we can meet.
Congresswoman Foushee, I’m happy to see what you’re doing to alert folks about Musk. Nevertheless I’d like to see memes that catch attention. E.g., t-shirts saying “Elon Musk Has Your Number.” Voters understand such memes better than any rhetoric.
