In February 2025, with DOGE dismantling federal agencies, Alabama's most senior House Republican publicly invited Elon Musk to take on the USPS — an agency rural north Alabama depends on.
Five roll calls and a Supreme Court brief, all public record. Alabama's longest-serving House Republican asked the Court to void four states' results, voted to reject Arizona's and Pennsylvania's electors hours after the riot, and opposed both investigations.
He chairs the subcommittee that funds schools, health care and worker training. His FY27 bill eliminates adult job training, eliminates youth job training, and cuts Title I for low-income schools by $1.9 billion. Then he talked up the money for hospitals.

In the same statement, the Green Beret congressman said Joe Biden's pardons undermined "trust and integrity in leadership." The difference between the two: many of the people Trump freed had attacked police officers.
H.R. 8332 would let current and former special operators carry a concealed gun in all 50 states, permanently. The law it copies makes retired police requalify every year. Harrigan's bill says they don't have to.

Trump attacked Iran on February 28. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee is where Congress asks a president why. Its chairman decided the public didn't need to hear the answers.
