America’s neighborhoods are not war zones. Peaceful protesters are not enemy combatants—they’re Americans who have the constitutional right to peacefully assemble and speak up. Acting Ranking Member @lynch.house.gov opens today’s hearing on Donald Trump’s militarization of Los Angeles.

Great to welcome this year’s Congressional Art Competition winner, Lucy Zhang, to Washington to see her artwork, “Colors of the Commonwealth,” on display in the U.S. Capitol. Congratulations Lucy!

Donald Trump’s blatant violation of ethics laws and exploitation of the Presidency to further his own financial gain cannot go unchecked.

Congressman Stephen F. Lynch@lynch.house.govJun 9(source)

Since taking office in January, President Trump has disbanded the Crypto Enforcement Unit at the Department of Justice and has signed an Executive Order pausing enforcement of financial consumer corruption laws.

Today, Acting RM @lynch.house.gov led Oversight Dems in calling to subpoena Elon Musk and pull DOGE’s work out of the shadows. The American people deserve answers on how DOGE has unleashed AI on government systems, messed with your private data, and undermined Social Security.

This morning, Democrats moved to subpoena Elon musk to answer to the American people. Instead of standing with us, Republicans scrambled for 30 mins to shut down debate and protect Musk.

Just now, I called to subpoena Elon Musk at our full Oversight Committee Hearing because the American people deserve answers. Republicans didn’t bother to show up.

Democrats are here ready to vote to subpoena Elon Musk. Where are the Republicans? Why are we holding the vote up? They’re supposed to be here.

Was Elon Musk on drugs when he meddled with Social Security and stole Americans’ private data? Oversight Democrats will get answers.

As Americans, we have set aside this day to honor those brave men and women who have endured tremendous sacrifice for our country and for our freedom. May we also keep faith with our promise to care for our veterans in a way that is deserving of that sacrifice.
