We confronted Speaker Johnson over DOGE. His response is cause for concern.
Opinion by Rep. Judy Chu • 1h

Insults toward women in politics are nothing new, so we are wearing being called “rude,” “aggressive” and “unhinged” last week as a badge of honor.

This is not a time where business as usual can be our strategy.

After reports began surfacing about Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency having access to the Department of Treasury payment systems, our constituents were understandably alarmed. They bombarded our phones rightly demanding answers to why an unelected and unvetted billionaire — and other unqualified individuals with troubling backgrounds — was granted access to sensitive Treasury payment systems and the confidential, personal information contained within.
 
Does no one outside of Musk and his team know how this data is being handled and used? Is it being manipulated? Are back doors into the system being added? Where is any extracted data being maintained?

We sought answers to these questions and more from the source: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who had given Musk and DOGE that access. So, after learning that Bessent had a scheduled meeting last Wednesday with Speaker Mike Johnson and House Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith to discuss passing more tax cuts for the wealthy, we marched to the speaker’s office to get those answers.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

What would this writer, the one with no inside knowledge call it?


our constituents were understandably alarmed.

Our constituents as opposed to Americans?


They bombarded our phones rightly demanding answers to why

1 - 2 maybe 3 calls?

an unelected and unvetted billionaire — and other unqualified individuals with troubling backgrounds — was granted access to sensitive Treasury payment systems and the confidential, personal information contained within.

Everyone in the District of Corruption is unelected and may or may not be properly vetted
Who and how many of the "unqualified" individuals are there?
Where is the proof of these "troubling backgrounds?"
 
Does no one outside of Musk and his team know how this data is being handled and used? Is it being manipulated? Are back doors into the system being added? Where is any extracted data being maintained?

Just another MSM Trump hit piece.

Obviously, Musk is hitting his targets. They are all screaming like stuck pigs.
