Supreme Court allows DOGE to access Social Security data
Supreme Court allows DOGE to access Social Security data
The dispute concerns efforts by the Department of Government Efficiency, largely led by Elon Musk, to access sensitive data, including Social Security numbers.
The Supreme Court on Friday allowed members of the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency to access Social Security Administration data.
The conservative-majority court, with its three liberal justices objecting, granted an emergency application filed by the Trump administration asking the justices to lift an injunction issued by a federal judge in Maryland.
The unsigned order said that members of the DOGE team assigned to the Social Security Administration should have "access to the agency records in question in order for those members to do their work."
The lawsuit challenging DOGE’s actions was filed by progressive group Democracy Forward on behalf of two unions — the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, and the American Federation of Teachers — as well as the Alliance for Retired Americans.
This is why there's a fake fight between Trump and Musk. It's to distract you from the fact that DOGE is stealing your information and to drive traffic to their respective social media sites. You've been conned...again.
I really don't think this was a fake fight. Calling trump a pedo and there's proof just isn't something you con with. IMO, it was a real fight that the SCOTUS took advantage of. Normally, I would agree with you, but this one, the threats were too big and had too big of ramifications. Bannon yelling to deport Elon isn't cool either. This wasn't a light slap fight, they were getting real hits in there.
If this is your bar, it is rather low. Even MAGA knows Trump knew Epstein just like they know he probably had sex with prostitutes. The only people who care already know.
If Trump's threats manifest, that will be another matter entirely. So far, only words with only publicly known information. Both parties could have done much worse to incriminate the other.
Bannon is a Russian shill, Trump is getting propped from and making concessions to the Heritage Foundation, billionaires, and anyone interested overseas. Musk needs a facelift and still holds influence with the DOGE team as the one who created it.
You're saying that like doge didn't already steal the data
The courts just told them it was legal. But no media is reporting that. They're busy with the infighting. It's a distraction and it's working.
100% this, although I do agree with that comment from entwine413. I feel that this spat was real in the battle of the egos; however, this entire timeline of crazy was clearly an easy distraction from the mass data given to Palantir - this is worse on a nuclear level than citizens united was in the sense of population surveillance and control.
I guess they forgot to check twitter before they allowed this
I don't know why I looked at this thumbnail and thought "What's with the large pasta extruder in the background?"
It does kind of look like that. But no, those are golden drapes that are super "classy."
