• Democrats aim to scrutinize the Trump administration’s impact on public health, executive spending projects, and the U.S.-Iran conflict, emphasizing Congress's constitutional war powers.
• Technology billionaire Elon Musk faces potential congressional scrutiny over federal funding for his companies and the impact of his satellite internet service on Ukraine's military operations.
