Democratic Sen. Elissa Slotkin (Mich.) slammed Elon Musk's DOGE team that's radically transforming the federal government during her rebuttal to President Trump's address to Congress on Tuesday.
Why it matters: In her brief remarks, Slotkin emphasized her bipartisan career history while emphasizing that "America wants change." She knocked the Trump administration's approach, adding: "There's a responsible way to make change and a reckless way."
She took aim at Musk, who she said, along with his "gang of 20-year-olds," is acting with "no oversight, no protections against cyber-attack[s], no guardrails on what they do with your private data."
"We can make that change without forgetting who we are as a country and as a democracy," she said.
