Becca Balint (VT-AL) will join other members of Congress and organizations to call out Musk\u2019s hostile takeover of the Treasury Department.\n\nPresident Trump has handed over the keys to the federal government and its checkbook to an unelected billionaire. He\u2019s invading financial systems that hold all Americans\u2019 addresses and personal information. This information is used to send out Social Security checks, Medicare reimbursements, and tax refunds\u2013upwards of $5 trillion in transactions a year.\n\n\u201cI will not stand idly by while Elon Musk illegally seizes control of payments systems at the Treasury Department. This is nothing short of a hostile takeover of our government. This kind of reckless action puts Medicare, Social Security, and other essential payments at risk for working families who depend on it. I\u2019ll be outside Treasury today to say: No unelected billionaire should have control of the government and private information,\u201d said Rep. Becca Balint.\n\nThe live stream is available to view on Rep. Balint\u2019s Instagram and Youtube accounts.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T23:42:11Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://balint.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=396"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 2.304090652614832, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
