WASHINGTON, DC — Representative Mikie Sherrill (NJ-11) introduced new legislation to force Elon Musk — who has a well-documented history of drug use — and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) employees to pass a drug test, and participate in random drug testing in order to retain their Special Government Employee status with the United States government.

“Donald Trump has given billionaire Elon Musk the keys to our government, and with it, access to highly sensitive information — from Treasury and Social Security data to even our most guarded military plans. Those with access to sensitive information must be thoroughly vetted, clear-eyed, and exercise good judgment. Elon Musk and his DOGE employees should be held to the same standard as other executive branch employees, whether that’s for conflicts of interest or passing a drug test to maintain employment or a security clearance.

“In the wake of Trump’s top national security officials sharing classified information on an unsecured Signal group chat — putting our service members’ lives at risk — it’s more important than ever to protect the American people from the Trump Administration’s reckless incompetence and blatant disregard for national security,” said Rep. Sherrill.

Typically, government officials with access to highly sensitive information are required to pass a drug test and are subject to intermittent random testing as a condition of their employment. This ensures that officials who have access to our government’s most sensitive information are following the law and cannot be blackmailed for their illegal drug use.

1. How about one for POTUS (Adderall)?

[neeksgeek]

2. I have to pass a drug test to do my job.

I used to be a professor, now I photograph cars at dealerships. Fair’s fair, Elon; pee in that cup.

3. I've never had to take a drug test

But I work in the music industry where there’s a joke. If your drug test comes back clean, they fire you!

All kidding aside, the people in charge of our government should be clear-eyed, sober and steely-eyed professionals. Instead, we’ve got this crew of morons, egoists, alcoholics, drug abusers, liars and worse running our once-almost-great nation.

How this ends won’t be pretty.

4. All DOGE staff, too

My entire career at a natural gas/electric utility, I was subject to random drug testing. Just this year, I had to submit to a drug test to be hired for a part-time job at a lumber retailer. Why do the hacker kids and their weirdo king get a pass on drug testing?

6. Why do they get a pass..... because tRump knows they'd fail

It's utter bullshit that tRump is allowing Elmo unrestricted access to our countries most sensitive information without any of the safeguards required of anyone else.

5. And 'Breathilizer Tests' for some DOD officials?

8. There you go. The guy brags about his drug use, but I have not seen our media pushing this story.

Democrats need to make noise, pull stunts, get the facts about these loonies out into the open and keep swinging the hammer at them.

Of course, this bill won't pass. But it will hopefully get some news coverage, maybe some debate, and make people think about what is going on with this Administration.

9. Thugs on drugs

[SpankMe]

10. I'd like to add testing for syphilis and other STD's. n/t

[Hotler]

11. Random's for every elected official. nt

[travelingthrulife]

13. Yes, why should they not have our glorious work experience

[Wounded Bear]

12. And if he refuses...what is he trying to hide?

We need to step up our game and use some of their tactics.

14. This is a BFD!

Won’t happen prolly.
But trying is all anyone can do right now.
