Summary
House Democrats allege DOGE, the agency created by Elon Musk to shrink government, is building a “cross-agency master database” of Americans’ sensitive data.
“Mass amounts” of personal information from the IRS, SSA, and voter records were uploaded into USCIS servers. Whistleblowers reported DOGE engineers accessed systems with “backpacks full of laptops,” each linked to different agencies.
This effort “disregards important cybersecurity and privacy considerations.” Rep. Connolly warned it could “violate several privacy laws.”
“Aggregation of data is building a weapon,” said John Davisson of EPIC. “It’s terrifying.”
Also Democrats: “We’re still doing nothing.”
Important to get that shot in. Yeah, this is all the Democrats fault. So make sure you don’t vote.
What a great and useful message you’ve shoehorned in.
I didn’t see them advocate for not voting. I also never saw them blame the Democrats for this.
I did see them accurately point out that the party that is supposed to be the opposition to this stuff is doing nothing, and I don’t see why the Democrats shouldn’t be called out for that.
The dems spent 4 years complaining about the parliamentarian and blaming them on why they can’t do anything.
So yeah, gotta get those shots in.
Both can be awful including the controlled opposition I voted for because it was still better than mask-off facism.
Just because its better doesn’t mean its good enough.
