Summary

House Republicans blocked a Democratic effort to subpoena Elon Musk over his role in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and its sweeping changes to federal agencies.

Democrats questioned Musk’s authority to restructure agencies, fire employees, and access federal databases. Musk, classified as a “special government employee,” has led controversial initiatives, including federal employee buyouts.

Republicans argued Democrats could have invited Musk voluntarily, while Chair James Comer defended DOGE’s actions as necessary reform.

    I have yet to see credible evidence of tampering with votes or election infrastructure.

    Voter suppression happened, but that looks like established praxis for US elections.

    So your dear leader was democratically elected. The question is: Does that matter?

    For Hitler it took 60 days from legally and lawfully obtaining chancellor ship to the first trains rolling into the first camps.

    You guys are at day 16.

      No one elected Musk, he wasn’t even particularly involved in the early stages of the election, and giving him a new gov department which apparently has enormous power in the executive branch is like how to spot a Banana Republic 101

      You admitted to voter suppression but also said no tampering with election infrastructure.

      Not my “dear leader”

      Yes they are at day 16.
