House Republicans are working in the middle of the night to pass their bill to strip millions of people of their health care and give Elon Musk and Donald Trump a tax cut.

Medicaid benefits all of us.

Sec. Bessent only reinforced my belief that Elon Musk was given unfettered access to sensitive taxpayer information.
If any Republicans in Congress care about protecting their constituents' private information, they’ll join my efforts to stop Musk. /fin

The Trump Administration admitted in court that Elez had been given write access to the payment system. 8/
