Democratic lawmakers call for Musk's government efficiency department to be responsible because of worries about national security.

Democratic lawmakers are worried about Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). They are concerned that DOGE employees might not be keeping important information safe. This information is about American citizens, businesses, and government secrets, and it could be dangerous if it falls into the wrong hands.

DOGE says it needs access to this information to save money and make the government work better. But lawmakers are worried that DOGE employees might not know how to handle this information safely. They are also worried that DOGE is cutting important government programs without understanding why they are important.

Some experts say that DOGE is moving too fast and breaking things. They are worried that DOGE's mistakes could have serious consequences for the government and for national security. For example, DOGE could accidentally reveal the identities of American spies or the details of secret government programs.

Some DOGE employees are also worried about the way DOGE is being run. More than 20 employees have quit, saying they don't want to work for an organization that is destroying important government services. They say that many of the new people hired by DOGE are not qualified for their jobs and that they are only interested in politics.

It is important to make sure that the government is using money wisely and that it is working effectively. But it is also important to make sure that the government is keeping important information safe. Lawmakers will continue to watch DOGE closely to make sure that it is not putting America's security at risk.
