Concerns Rise Over DOGE Staffers’ Handling Of Sensitive Data

Congresswomen Judy Chu and Gwen Moore confronted Speaker Mike Johnson over the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) access to sensitive Treasury information. This incident underscores the deepening divide between those who view DOGE as a necessary tool for streamlining government and those who see it as a potential threat to democratic processes. Are the concerns about Elon Musk’s influence on government operations justified?

Confrontation in the Speaker’s Office

Representatives Judy Chu and Gwen Moore interrupted a meeting in Speaker Mike Johnson’s office, demanding answers about DOGE staffers’ access to sensitive Treasury information. The absence of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent during the discussion further fueled the congresswomen’s frustration.

Moore accused Bessent of being sent out “through the back door” and criticized Johnson’s lack of knowledge about the situation. Johnson reportedly responded, “He was trying to find out,” to which Moore retorted, “I said that was very distressing to me, that even you don’t know.”

Reactions and Responses

The incident sparked diverse reactions across the political spectrum. A witness described the Democrats’ behavior as “incredibly rude, extremely aggressive and frankly unhinged,” while Rep. Linda Sánchez defended her colleagues, dismissing claims of rudeness as sexist and racist.

Elon Musk, the entrepreneur behind DOGE, responded on social media, denying any interest in private financial data and questioning the motives of “corrupt politicians.” His involvement in government operations through DOGE has been a source of ongoing controversy.

Broader Implications and Concerns

The confrontation highlights deeper issues surrounding the Trump administration’s efforts to reduce the size of the federal government. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer criticized these actions as undemocratic, stating, “Whatever DOGE is doing, it is certainly not — not — what democracy looks like or has ever looked like in the grand history of this country.”

The administration’s actions have led to significant disruptions in federal operations, including the dismantling of programs and the resignation of government workers. Numerous lawsuits have been filed nationwide challenging these actions, with U.S. District Judge Loren L. AliKhan describing some as potentially unconstitutional.
