On February 5, 2025, the House Oversight Committee convened to discuss the federal government's size and efficiency. During the session, Ranking Member Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA) introduced a motion to subpoena Elon Musk, head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), to testify about his role in restructuring federal agencies. Connolly emphasized the need for oversight, questioning Musk's authority to implement significant changes without congressional approval.

On Tuesday, representatives from Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) were observed at the FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C.

The Trump administration has initiated a significant reduction of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) workforce, placing nearly the entire Washington, D.C., staff on leave.
Less than two weeks into his second term, President Donald Trump has wasted no time in implementing his agenda, focusing on national security, economic reform, and government accountability.
President Donald Trump has called upon SpaceX CEO Elon Musk to expedite the return of NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore, who have been aboard the International Space Station (ISS) since June 2024. The astronauts were initially part of a Boeing Starliner test flight intended to last only eight days. However, due to technical issues with the Starliner capsule, including helium leaks and thruster problems, their return has been significantly delayed.
President Donald Trump urged Elon Musk to rescue the two astronauts from the International Space Station. The astronauts were scheduled to return in March.
