I’m calling for Chair Crapo and Chair Scott to haul in the Treasury Secretary to answer for Musk's seizure of Americans' personal financial information.
We have an oversight responsibility here that should NOT be partisan.

People are pissed, and I get it. Trump and Republicans are flooding the zone to shake us up.
Elon Musk and his interns are meant to make us feel powerless when we’re not.
Keep calling. Call Republicans. Be specific about how these actions impact your lives.
Elon Musk is now snooping around in your family’s health insurance records at CMS.
Why? Because he’s on a power trip and wants to see how he can gut their benefits under the guise that things he doesn’t like is “fraud.”

Tina Smith: "I'm sitting here and I'm thinking about what's happening at the US Treasury tonight, and it seems to be entirely possible that he's trying to distract us all from the ransacking of the Treasury Department's federal payment system that is going on right now under the thumb of Elon Musk."
I’m angry about Musk’s power grab too. I hear you. I see your letters and hear your calls.
I’m putting pressure on Republicans and you should be too. We’re going to use every tool in our toolbox to organize and fight this.
More to come — stay tuned.
This is designed to make good, hard-working people afraid to return to work. The ones who make sure veterans get health care and farmers get disaster aid.
It's not a 'fork in the road.' It's people’s livelihoods and the critical services they provide. It's not going to fly.
I’m getting thousands of calls. We’re trying to answer as many as we can/keep our voicemail inbox clear. Senate phones are having tech issues, but Minnesotans can still reach me below.
There’s a lot happening. People are worried. I want to hear from you.
Halting US aid across the globe leaves a massive power vacuum. Who would be happy to fill that vacuum?
China.
The only people rejoicing right now are America’s competitors. We have to fight Musk’s illegal takeover of USAID.
I just voted NO on RFK Jr. to lead HHS. None of his empty promises could undo the harm his past statements have already had on people’s health. He’s a flip-flopper, a conspiracy peddler, and a danger to our country.
He’s driven by self-interest, not by protecting Americans.
Every single public school will feel this. It’ll blow a giant hole in school districts’ budgets. Students — KIDS — would suffer.
Do not doubt for a second that Trump and Musk want to go there.
FIRST: USAID
NEXT: Dept. of Education
THEN: Your Social Security benefits? Your health insurance? Your kids' health insurance?
Everything is on the table and Trump/Musk don't care who gets hurt.
We will not sit by while this happens. We will put up a fight.
I’ve had people blowing up the phones of my office all day about these tariffs.
How will families put food on the table with price hikes?
How will small businesses cope with higher input costs?
How can farmers keep their operations going?
Completely unnecessary chaos.
Trump can’t use our economy to play a giant game of Risk. But he did anyway because it doesn’t hurt him or his billionaire friends like Elon Musk.
It hurts real people who deal with the very real economic consequences. People whose paychecks barely stretch far enough as it is.
USAID provides prosthetic limbs to soldiers injured in Ukraine. Shutting it down hurts us, our allies, and emboldens Putin and Russia. The Kremlin have already taken to social media to celebrate what Musk has done.
We need to fight this.
Massive, untargeted tariffs on allies like Canada make no sense. Canada is Minnesota’s #1 trading partner.
This is nothing but a tax increase on Minnesota families that I plan to fight.
Elon Musk illegally seized the purse strings of the United States. An unelected billionaire may have access to everyone’s social security numbers.
We need answers now. This power grab cannot stand.
They’re trying to throw doctors in jail for prescribing medication abortion.

Senator Smith: What’s so horrible about this moment is that dozens of families are trying to be united with the remains of their loved ones because they died.
And what does Trump do? He tries to turn it into a political thing. He is incapable of taking responsibility for anything he has ever done.
