⚖️ Congresswoman Democrat Mikie Sherrill introduced a bill that would require billionaire Elon Musk and employees of his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to undergo drug testing.

💉 The bill mandates mandatory drug testing for government officials before starting work, as well as participation in a random drug testing program. In case of a positive result, the person will be suspended from federal service for a year.
🗣️ Sherrill emphasized that following the scandal involving a secret chat in Signal, it is crucial to prevent irresponsible decisions from the Donald Trump administration that could threaten national security.
🚀 Musk and his subordinates in DOGE are considered special government employees, and Sherrill believes they should meet the same standards as other officials, including undergoing drug testing.
🧑⚖️ Musk’s lawyer stated that the billionaire regularly undergoes drug testing at SpaceX and has never failed one.
📉 Despite Sherrill’s initiative, the bill has little chance of being passed in the near future, as control over Congress and the White House is held by Republicans.
