Urgent Call to Terminate Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)

I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the recent actions of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and to urge you to take immediate steps to terminate this initiative. Recent reports have highlighted several alarming developments: Unauthorized Access to Sensitive Information: DOGE staffers have gained access to classified information and personal data across multiple federal agencies, including the Office of Personnel Management and the U.S. Treasury. This unauthorized access poses significant national security risks. Disruption of Federal Agencies: The aggressive actions of DOGE have led to the shutdown of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), hindering critical foreign assistance programs and causing widespread fear among other federal agencies. Inexperienced Personnel in Key Roles: Musk has appointed young, inexperienced individuals to significant positions within DOGE, leading to questionable decision-making and further destabilization of government operations. Legal and Ethical Violations: There are multiple lawsuits and legislative actions underway challenging the legality of DOGE’s actions, including potential breaches of constitutional limits, privacy laws, and the separation of powers. Moreover, it has come to light that certain DOGE staffers have connections to white supremacist and neo-Nazi ideologies: Gavin Kliger: Serving as a Special Advisor to the Director at the Office of Personnel Management, Kliger has been found endorsing white supremacist and misogynistic views online. He has publicly supported content from controversial figures like Nick Fuentes and Andrew Tate, and his recent social media activity includes promoting racially and politically inflammatory content. Marko Elez: A former DOGE staffer, Elez resigned after the revelation of his past social media posts promoting racism and eugenics. His posts included suggestions to replace Indian H1B workers and repeal the Civil Rights Act, reflecting extreme and discriminatory ideologies. These associations not only undermine the integrity of our federal institutions but also pose a direct threat to our national security and democratic processes. It is imperative that Congress exercises its oversight authority to halt DOGE’s operations immediately. I urge you to: Initiate a thorough investigation into the activities of DOGE and its personnel. Suspend all DOGE operations pending the outcome of this investigation. Implement safeguards to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive government information. Hold accountable those responsible for any illegal or unethical actions. Our nation’s security and the integrity of our democratic institutions depend on swift and decisive action. I trust you will prioritize this urgent matter and work to protect the interests of the American people.
