- Hakeem Jeffries introduces legislation to protect taxpayer data — Hakeem Jeffries, the House minority leader, introduced legislation aimed at protecting taxpayers' personal data from Elon Musk's "department of government efficiency" (Doge). This move comes in response to revelations that Doge accessed sensitive taxpayer data. Jeffries denounced Musk as an "unelected, unaccountable, out-of-control billionaire puppet master" and vowed to use Democrats' leverage in the narrowly divided chamber to protect federal programs targeted by Trump.
