I am writing to demand immediate congressional action to address reports that Elon Musk’s associates and the Trump administration are unlawfully accessing sensitive federal data (including Social Security, Treasury, and USAID systems) while silencing federal employees through gag orders and retaliatory firings.
These actions risk catastrophic privacy breaches for millions of Americans and undermine trust in our institutions. I urge you to:
1. **Launch investigations** into unauthorized data requests at OPM, Treasury, and USAID.
2. **Subpoena records** of Musk’s interactions with agencies and gag orders imposed on federal workers.
3. **Strengthen the Privacy Act** to criminalize corporate or political exploitation of federal data.
4. **Protect whistleblowers** with legal shields and resources to expose wrongdoing without retaliation.
This is not a partisan issue—it is about safeguarding democracy from lawless power grabs. Delay will only enable irreparable harm.
