Democratic lawmakers are confronting the Trump administration on multiple policy fronts, demanding action on federal worker privacy protections and military oversight capabilities.

Following reporting by KFF Health News that revealed the Trump administration is seeking federal workers' medical records, Democratic members of Congress are calling on the Office of Personnel Management to withdraw its request for employee health data. The lawmakers have expressed concerns about the collection and potential use of such sensitive personal information.

Separately, a group of 11 Senate Democrats led by Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Chris Van Hollen of Maryland are questioning Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth about recent cuts to offices responsible for limiting civilian casualties during military operations. The senators are specifically asking about how these cuts may have affected the execution of recent U.S. military strikes against targets in Iran.

The lawmakers want Hegseth to explain the impact of reducing staff and resources for offices that work to minimize harm to non-combatants during military operations. Their inquiry comes as the administration has conducted strikes in Iran, raising questions about oversight and casualty prevention protocols.

Both issues reflect broader Democratic concerns about the new administration's approach to federal workforce management and military operations oversight. The requests represent part of ongoing congressional oversight efforts as lawmakers seek information about policy changes implemented since the administration took office.
