Second, I led 154 House Democrats in a letter to Treasury Secretary Bessent demanding answers about the extent of Musk's access to data and ability to stop federal payments to programs like SNAP, Medicaid, and Social Security.

First, in coordination with Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Congresswoman Haley Stevens and I introduced the Taxpayer Data Protection Act, landmark legislation from House Democrats to ensure your data is not subject to reckless and unlawful interference.

This week, my office has received more calls than ever from folks concerned about Elon Musk's access to their personal data.
I've taken two steps to help put a stop to Musk's actions. (1/4)
🚨 NEWS: I led over 150 House Democrats in a letter to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent demanding answers on Elon Musk's unprecedented access to US citizen's private data and Treasury payment systems.
My statement on President Trump's proposal to move Palestinians out of Gaza:

You can join by calling 833-708-2162. It will also be live-streamed at Casten.House.Gov/Live and on my Facebook page.
🚨NEWS: Tomorrow at 12pm CT, I'm hosting a telephone town hall to discuss the first few weeks of the Trump Administration and Elon Musk's unprecedented access to US citizens' personal data and federal disbursement systems.
Fascism survives so long as the evil at the top is supported by cowards below.
Is any Republican in Congress willing to stand against Elon Musk and for the American People? Or will they sit in cowardly complicity with the evil of their leaders?
Illinois imported over $18 billion in goods from Mexico in 2023, including $163 million in agricultural products that feed our communities.
Trump’s senseless tariffs will result in higher prices for consumers.
Elon Musk’s access to Treasury payment systems threatens Americans’ national and economic security.
As a member of the Financial Services Committee, which oversees the Treasury Department, I'll use all available tools to address this egregious power grab. I'll share updates soon.
Americans deserve a national energy policy that prioritizes the needs of consumers over the wants of energy companies.
Last week, I convened experts and stakeholders to discuss how we can fight Trump's efforts to limit access to cleaner, cheaper energy.

The Trump Administration’s funding freeze would have disastrous consequences for Illinois.
I convened a roundtable of local leaders, stakeholders, and advocates to discuss how a federal funding freeze would impact Illinoisans’ access to cleaner, cheaper energy.
Earlier this week, I connected with Senior Trustee Anthony Puccio and staff members of the Village of Lombard. I look forward to working together throughout the 119th Congress!
As I said yesterday, you cannot take the Trump Administration at their word. You have to watch what they do.
Do not let them fool you into thinking this is the end of their assault on Medicaid, SNAP, and other essential services.
Reposted byRep. Sean Casten
Donald Trump’s latest unconstitutional and harmful act of pausing federal funding is the latest example that you cannot take the Trump Administration at its word.
You have to watch their actions.
A thread 🧵:
We face a tragic reality that we cannot trust the word of the President of the United States or members of his administration.
I encourage everyone to watch not what he says, but what he does.
What else might be stopped?
- SNAP
- Child nutrition programs
- Meals on Wheels
- The 988 suicide prevention hotline
- Head Start
We've heard conflicting reports on whether the above programs will be impacted. But again, you cannot take the Trump Administration at its word.
My office heard from a local organization focused on seniors who told us that, because of this pause, they are within one month of cutting programs.
I thought President Trump said he cared about seniors?
