Democrats Protest Trump, Musk Over Treasury Access

News summary

Democratic lawmakers are raising alarms over Elon Musk's involvement in the Trump administration, particularly concerning access to the Treasury Department's sensitive payment systems. Protests led by figures like Rep. LaMonica McIver and Rep. Ayanna Pressley emphasize opposition to what they describe as a 'hostile takeover' of federal financial systems by Musk. Tensions are heightened as President Trump threatens to dismantle key agencies like USAID and freeze approved federal funding, contributing to stalled negotiations ahead of a March 14 government shutdown deadline. Democrats are leveraging this deadline to block Trump's Office of Management and Budget order, which they claim threatens essential programs. Senate appropriators warn that Trump's unilateral actions could undermine bipartisan trust needed for future appropriations. House Minority Leader Jeffries has signaled plans to introduce legislation to safeguard sensitive financial data and thwart Musk's influence over government financial operations.
