Summary
Reps. Judy Chu and Gwen Moore confronted House Speaker Mike Johnson about Elon Musk’s DOGE and its potential misuse of taxpayer data.
Denied access to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, they questioned Johnson, who claimed he lacked detailed knowledge of DOGE’s operations.
The lawmakers criticized DOGE’s unchecked power and vowed to push legislative efforts, including the Taxpayer Data Protection Act, to safeguard sensitive financial data.
They urged bipartisan support, citing concerns over transparency, oversight, and Musk’s growing influence over government functions.
Democratic lawmakers — Reps. Judy Chu (D-CA) and Gwen Moore (D-WI) — found House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) to be
alarminglyignorantWillfully ignorant. The term is willfully ignorant.
The GOP has enjoyed lock on the House majority for 11 of the last 15 electoral terms. And there’s no end in sight.
Feels like Johnson just doesn’t give a shit. DOGE is their problem, not his.
He’s too stupid to realize he’s losing his power too
I’m gonna get so much mileage out of cribbing Marco Rubio’s bullshit claim about Obama and turning it back around on these fuckers these next few months.
Let’s dispel with this fiction that Mike Johnson doesn’t know what he is doing. He knows exactly what he is doing.
Lil Rubio-bot. Even after being directly and explicitly called out for that rehearsed line, he immediately repeated it like a record skipping.
Wake me up when the actual ambushing starts.
Yeah we are past the point of words. Bullies ONLY know force and push back, they do not stop until the nerd gives them a bloody nose or breaks their arm. Then remember the bullies will cry and scream how unfair it all is as soon as the one they picked on throws a single punch back after taking 50 from the bully.
40 years of fat angry men yelling frothing at the mouth into the radio and fox news about how diabolical, evil, unhinged, commie, backwards, etc democrats are for trying to give them healthcare…but you say “Hey don’t be nazis” and they immediately shout how you’re the real nazi for not letting them be openly nazi enough. Fuck these people.
Forever sleep doesn’t sound so bad, really.
They’re turning a complete blind eye and not giving a fuck.
Just remember the people who left open their DOGE database so that anyone can edit it are going to access seven years of your returns with zero oversight.
Democrats have adopted the political strategy of perpetual YouTube thumbnail face:
Well, he needed to check with his handlers in the white house first…
Of all the overreach and violation that’s happening, we’re focusing on the unauthorized viewing of taxpayer data?!
Way to miss the fucking point.
Do you really think we’re focusing on only one thing at a time? How many people do you think are focusing on what’s going on, four?
tbh that’s probably not far off
