Senate Democrats are launching a new whistleblower portal for public and private workers to dish on how President Trump and DOGE are slashing the federal government.
Democrats hope whistleblowers will expose what they argue are the White House's illegal moves to unilaterally dismantle federal agencies and programs.
Democrats say they want to hear from workers who are witnessing how Trump and Elon Musk have withheld funding and fired federal workers without the approval of Congress.
The portal, which launches Friday, is spearheaded by Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), whose staff on the Senate Budget Committee will conduct oversight of the new tool.
The public and private sector worker whistleblower mirrors other Democratic initiatives to provide oversight of the Trump administration.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) earlier this year launched a portal for whistleblowers to report abuse of power under Trump.
Democrats have also highlighted whistleblower reports that allege FBI Director Kash Patel directed the purge of career officials at the bureau.
