The Trump administration has admitted in a court filing that the “department of government efficiency” (Doge) improperly shared Americans’ social security data. The filing reveals a secret data-sharing agreement between a Doge member and a political advocacy group, and unauthorized use of a third-party server, Cloudflare. The Social Security Administration (SSA) is investigating potential Hatch Act violations due to political activity. The court filing details Doge’s access to sensitive systems and data despite a temporary restraining order, and the agency was unable to determine what data was transmitted.

Doge improperly shared sensitive social security data, DoJ court filing reveals, and honestly, we all kind of saw this coming, didn’t we? The whole “Department of Government Efficiency” charade, or Doge as it was nicknamed, always felt like a cover story. The real agenda, it seems, was to pilfer our most private information, not just our Social Security numbers, but everything. This wasn’t about streamlining anything; it was about data theft and dismantling any obstacle in their path, particularly those investigating Elon Musk’s dealings.
It’s clear that the folks involved in Doge were given free rein. They handed out full administrative access to tech-savvy individuals, seemingly without bothering with basic background checks. They barged in, hooked themselves up to the servers, and took whatever they wanted. Considering all of this, the assumption that all the data is compromised isn’t a stretch. The brief server firewall block of Russian access looks like a minor detail considering the massive data breach that went down.
If you haven’t already, now’s the time to freeze your credit. It’s not a matter of *if* your identity will be stolen, but *when.* This isn’t a software glitch; it was a blatant violation of privacy. A government agency that was fundamentally designed to undermine the very principles of security it was charged to uphold, is now likely being analyzed by GROK. The timing is almost too perfect and it begs the question, what will happen now?
The court filing itself reveals a secret data-sharing agreement between someone from Doge and a political advocacy group whose primary goal was to find evidence of voter fraud and potentially overturn election results. This confirms suspicions, but it doesn’t really seem to move the needle. Musk has a reputation for investing in ideas rather than having a grasp of the intricacies of how things get done. Some would say he is playing the role of a genius when he is anything but. He is in fact, a bad actor.
And, of course, there’s the usual lack of accountability. If a low-level Social Security employee had done something similar, they’d be facing a mountain of legal trouble. But what happens to the people at the top? Nothing, probably. We have become too cynical to expect anything else. It’s easy to anticipate more of the same. And it is safe to assume there are multiple players involved.
It’s disheartening. The people who didn’t vote for a certain someone are now practically powerless to do anything about it. There’s not much left to do beyond the same old protests, calls to our elected officials, and civil lawsuits, but these are often in vain. It’s hard to imagine Democrats being effective in a Republican-controlled Congress. The reality is that we’ve been saying “tell us something we don’t know” and we’re tired of being told.
Trump has a track record for taking away Social Security and replacing it with something else. It is a long shot, but Musk should be in prison. The whole situation is maddening. The media needs to be up in arms, but who is surprised when the very system is complicit? The Democrats are playing the same game as well. Ultimately, it all comes down to the same disappointing outcome.
It’s a disheartening reality, one that feels baked into the system. Our cycle is clear and the winners rarely change. Good often takes a long time to triumph over evil. It may not even be in our lifetime. So, until the balance shifts in our favor, we will have to wait for the next administration. We’ll fight again. We’ll rinse and repeat, all while being told to accept our fates and the fate of the nation.
