Investigate Executive Overreach on Federal Spending, Agency Defunding

To: Sen. Warner, Rep. McClellan, Sen. Kaine

From: A constituent in Chester, VA

February 5

The actions of President Trump and Elon Musk regarding federal agencies and spending raise significant concerns. They appear to be aggressively targeting organizations like USAID and attempting to defund programs that have already received Congressional approval. Additionally, there are allegations that Musk's team improperly accessed private Treasury data, which could constitute illegal activity. Federal judges have expressed reservations about the potential overreach of executive authority in regard to spending power traditionally held by Congress. These actions have sparked widespread alarm among the public, as vital services and the civil workforce could face severe cutbacks. While efforts to reduce waste are understandable, many view the current approach as an assault on the established mechanisms of American democracy. It remains to be seen if Congress will effectively intervene to ensure adherence to established norms and legal boundaries.
