          PROTECTING AMERICAN TAXPAYERS' SENSITIVE INFORMATION

  (Ms. ANSARI asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ANSARI. Mr. Speaker, day after day, Donald Trump is abusing 
power, breaking the law, and tearing apart our Constitution.
  Trump has handed over the government to Elon Musk, an unelected 
billionaire who does not care about the American people.
  Trump has given Musk and his cronies extensive access to 
confidential, personal information across all Federal agencies, 
including the Treasury. The Treasury makes 1.5 billion payments a year 
to taxpayers, businesses, and seniors, everything from Social Security 
benefits to tax refunds, Medicare, and Medicaid.
  Musk now has access to Americans' confidential tax refund 
information, which includes their names, Social Security numbers, and 
home addresses.
  That is why I am headed to Treasury this evening to stand up for 
Arizonans' privacy and to stand up for our democracy.
  As a member of the House Oversight Committee, we are calling out this 
breach of law, privacy, and national security on behalf of the American 
people.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Loudermilk). Members are reminded to 
refrain from engaging in personalities toward the President.
