Elon Musk & Vivek Ramaswamy on Capitol Hill to meet with lawmakers on government efficiency.

Sen. Josh Hawley on the USPS Regional Transportation Optimization plan: “I hate this plan. I’m going to do everything I can to kill it. I’m going to try to protect every delivery to the state of Missouri…If I have to go down with the ship I’ll go down with the ship.”

Speaker Johnson following meeting with Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy: more to come

Musk and Ramaswamy met with senior members of the House GOP as well as Marjorie Taylor Greene, chair of the to-be-formed “DOGE” subcommittee in Congress, ahead of the presentation Thursday afternoon. The two were tight-lipped as they passed reporters, with Musk answering just one question — turning and giving an emphatic “yes!” to a shouted question from the pool regarding whether he wanted to see more Democrats join the effort.
