Nobody. Elected. Elon Musk.
Yet, now he has access to our Social Security numbers, tax info and personal data.
It's an egregious invasion of privacy. And in the name of "government efficiency," this billionaire could stop Social Security and Medicare payments that everyday Americans depend on all together.
Russell Vought, the co-author of Project 2025, has said that we live in a post-constitutional time and has proposed hundreds of billions in cuts to health care and other essential programs.
Now, he’s nominated to run the Office of Management and Budget.
Head Start programs serving just under 20,000 children are still locked out of their federal funding.
"As of this morning, we're aware of 51 Head Start grant recipients in 24 states, as well as the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, who are still experiencing issues with this delay. It does impact just under 20,000 children," an official with the National Head Start Association, tells ABC News.
@atrupar Trump dumps billions of gallons of water, flooding local California farmers scrambling to preserve freshwater resources needed for dry summer months. A woefully incompetent.
Some federal employees say they found a program downloaded to their govt computers that could be used to sift through their team chats to search for key words.
Treasury computers reportedly included in this.
Some staff told @CBSNews they think Musk's team is looking for signs of progressive thinking or disloyalty to Trump.
@ElonMusk@DOGE
Now we know why Elon Musk wanted USAID shut down and the Inspector General fired:
Elon Musk's Starlink was being investigated by the agency. https://t.co/nuRDGU93Gn
🚨NEW: U.S. District Court Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly has blocked Elon Musk's DOGE from accessing personal information, including social security numbers and bank accounts, from the Treasury Department.
RETWEET to thank Judge Kollar-Kotelly for standing up for our privacy!
More on DOGE activities: Some career employees across various agencies say they've seen their govt personnel file disappear only to be re-added later.
"I don’t know whether any have been doctored—more likely that they’re running all the documents through AI" by @ElonMusk@DOGE team, one employee told me.
The personnel folders are part of eOPF, a centralized repository where an employee can access their pay statements, disciplinary actions, security clearance documentation, job descriptions, contracts, awards, and tax info, etc from any federal job they're had.
A condition of access to federal agency networks is consent to monitoring. A message pops up in a box when they log in.
(My understanding is that it doesn't mean consent to political vetting, though.)
Very unwelcome news! H5N1 genotype D1.1 6 identified in 6 Nevada dairy herds. This is NOT the strain that's been circulating on farms so far. It's the strain that sent a 13yo girl in Canada to ICU, and that killed a man in Louisiana. Bad time for a public health comms blackout.
California’s @RepHuffman says the ‘school choice’/vouchers/ privatization push is both a “grift” to grab taxpayer money and an effort to “fuse” Christianity with government. #LeesVoucherScam
More bravery from the National Archives than from most of the Senate right now. They're celebrating Black History Month even though Marco Rubio is their acting boss - let Rubio order them to take it down. Librarians and archivists know that defending history is a fight.
🚨I am hearing from community health centers all across Rhode Island that their federal funding has been cut off today.
This is the day after Elon’s team gained access to the federal health payment system.
Dangerous and totally unacceptable.
Was just sent a memo from a DOJ contact. New AG announcement: DOJ will prosecute private corporations who enact DEI & DEIA policies.
Yes—private corporations😳
This is Project 2025. This is fascism. This will get worse.

Saddam made families pay for the bullet that executed their loved one.
Donald Trump makes Republican Senators support pardoning the thugs who attacked them.
The point is humiliation through submission.
