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.

Has anyone tried to file FOIA request against DOGE?
Not that it would go anywhere under this administration but having a record would be nice.
After they wipe their asses with it what’s step 2? These guys control the FBI. This is happening. Even if Democrats somehow wrest control back eventually, they’re doing generational damage to these institutions that will not be fixed in one (or even multiple) 4-year terms .
Step 2 is amendment 2
Anybody hear absolutely anything from Greg Connelly?
Remember just a few weeks ago Pelosi threw her weight behind him to block AOC because she swore a septigenarian actively battling throat cancer would be a better spokesperson to lead the Oversight Committee?
He does have a quote in the article, but it also points out he missed the window to call musk to testify as part of normal procedure…
We put someone in an important spot to fight fascism, and they dropped the ball and now we all pay the price.
But it was his “turn” so I guess we can’t complain.
This is starting to REALLY feel like a democratically elected civilian goverment.
Except for the democratically elected part
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.
You admitted to voter suppression but also said no tampering with election infrastructure.
Not my “dear leader”
Yes they are at day 16.
Comer can shove a pinecone up his ass.
Can I, too?
Sure, take your pick.
I mean we have two pinecones…
Why can’t they take turns and share?
Wow…
That kid is TINY!!!
