In February, I led over 150 Members of Congress in a letter to the Treasury demanding answers about Elon Musk’s access to taxpayer data.
This is the non-responsive letter they sent me this week.
I’ve filed a discharge petition to try and force a vote on my bill to end Musk’s access to your data.

It is my motivation to get you the weather, water and climate data you need, regardless of what has, or will happen to us.
