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.

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.
