Representative Mike Flood (R) held a town hall meeting with his constituents in Columbus, Nebraska. He answered questions on a variety of topics including the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), government spending, and the Russia-Ukraine war. He was booed multiple times by the audience over his comments including his characterization of the Trump-Zelensky Oval Office meeting as "a disaster" and his support for Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) work. "Trump is in the pocket of Putin and you are letting him continue," criticized a constituent as she questioned the national security issues surrounding DOGE's access to Treasury Department data. Rep. Flood responded that he has "confirmed that the people working in that agency or in that Department of Government Efficiency have passed the security tests. They have the appropriate clearances."
