NEWS: A federal judge issued a sweeping overnight block on Musk's DOGE team from accessing Treasury's payment system, warning of possible hacks or compromises. His order limits access only to officials w security clearances/training/need-to-know. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Just incredible incompetence - again - from Elon Musk, who staffed his team with leakers and racists and gave them access to sensitive government data and every American's personal information. It's painfully obvious they did zero vetting on these people. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

'Infinite Nightmares at Once': Veterans Data Swept Up in Musk's Takeover of Treasury System

The Trump Administration's list of censored scientific terms that get NSF grant proposals flagged contains "women” and “female”, but no mention of “men” or “male.” There is “black” and “indigenous” on this list, but no “white.” The only identity not censored is mine. youtu.be/dHXbpj1Z3UU

This is why we have a process to vet and promote civil servants based on merit, not a friendship with some rich guy. How dare Elon Musk bully and threaten good people who spent their careers serving the American people when he brings this level of gross incompetence to his work. 2/

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govFeb 6(source)

This is a scandal. Elon Musk gave a self-described "racist" and eugenicist access to a system that controls all financial payments from the U.S. Treasury. That system also contains the personal information including Social Security info of every American. 1/

I linked DOGE staffer Marko Elez to a deleted X account that advocated repealing the Civil Rights Act, backed a “eugenic immigration policy,” and wrote, “You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity." He just resigned. www.wsj.com/tech/doge-st...

The offer of so-called ‘deferred resignation’ is deceptive and legally dubious, and denied federal employees the time they need to make a major life decision. Today's ruling pausing that offer will give them a little more time to evaluate what is on the table, which is a step in the right direction.

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govFeb 6(source)

I sent a letter to federal employees as they weigh so-called “deferred resignation” offers. Since, a federal judge has temporarily paused these offers but it's possible they'll ultimately proceed. Here is my message to federal employees trying to figure out what to do: youtube.com/shorts/bFAcy...

From USDA to EPA and beyond, federal workers are under attack. I joined @hoyer.house.gov, @connolly.house.gov, @kaine.senate.gov, @bobbyscott.house.gov, @beyer.house.gov and other members of Congress for a discussion with federal employee and civil service organizations to coordinate fighting back.

Immoral and absurd. A president who has completely lost his grip on reality. This is ethnic cleansing

Here's something Dems can consider doing right now: Band together and tell Trump and the GOP that they will not get *a single vote* for any legislation or nominee until he ends Elon Musk's illegal mission to gut our government. My exchange w/Rep Don Beyer on this: newrepublic.com/article/1910...

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govFeb 3(source)

In light of the Trump Administration’s recent actions, I know many of you are worried and uncertain. There’s a lot to discuss so I’m hosting a telephone town hall specifically on issues related to the federal workforce this evening at 6pm. Dial 833-998-0892 to join!

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govFeb 3(source)

Our congressional delegation pursuing oversight on reports of Elon Musk’s illegal activity at USAID was just barred from entering the building on the orders of Musk and the Trump Administration. Nobody elected Musk — this is illegal and corrupt and we will keep fighting it.

Not a single person in the Executive Branch — not Donald Trump, not Elon Musk, and not any of their cronies — has the authority to shut down USAID. Congress created the agency by statute. We ask a lot of our civil servants. Today, we ask of them another task — show up to work. Continue to serve.

Congress can rein in Trump's abuse of power and stop these destructive, price-raising tariffs: @repdelbene.bsky.social and I introduced the Prevent Tariff Abuse Act. Our bill would stop this and restore legal balance to trade powers. Congress should pass it. 7/7

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govFeb 2(source)

Trump's tariffs are a clear overreach of executive power, misusing authorities never intended for this. The Constitution delegates trade authority to Congress. Trump's abuses of trade powers makes it clear that Congress must act to restore the constitutional balance of power. 6/

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govFeb 2(source)

Trump claims - falsely - that others pay the costs of his tariffs. Those costs will be passed on to people who buy the products and services on which they are levied -- aka YOU. Other countries may respond with tariffs of their own, harming American producers and exporters. 5/

Congressman Don Beyer@beyer.house.govFeb 2(source)

Trump hit our neighbors and close allies, Canada and Mexico, with tariffs more than twice as high as those he put on our geopolitical adversary China. This is a longstanding pattern with Trump: he alienates our friends in ways that drive them away and empower our opponents. 4/
