WASHINGTON — Rep. Morgan McGarvey (D-Louisville) said Tuesday that his constituents are “fired up” and asking what lawmakers are doing about sweeping changes under President Donald Trump’s administration.

More than 1,000 people came out to McGarvey’s town hall meetings over the weekend in Louisville, the congressman said.

“People are worried about Donald Trump really tearing apart our constitution and our democracy, the secrecy in the actions of Elon Musk … everything from getting access to our taxpayer data, to not telling who’s working for him,” said McGarvey. “I think people are really angry and I think they’re saying, ‘where are the Democrats right now in terms of standing up and making sure you’re stopping this, and also, where are the Republicans in stopping this?’”

McGarvey is co-sponsoring legislation that he said would rein in Musk, including a bill that would ban retaliation against any federal employee who tries to stop “unlawful or unconstitutional actions by Elon Musk against Federal agencies.”
