The Supreme Court handed DOGE a pair of significant wins on Friday, allowing the entity to access sensitive Social Security data for millions of Americans while simultaneously pausing an effort to look into whether it is subject to a key transparency law.
In the first and perhaps more important decision, a majority of the court allowed DOGE to review data at the Social Security Administration in an ostensible effort to rout out fraud and “modernize outdated systems.” Critics and lower courts suggested DOGE was engaged in a fishing expedition through highly sensitive data.
“We conclude that, under the present circumstances, SSA may proceed to afford members of the SSA DOGE Team access to the agency records in question in order for those members to do their work,” the court wrote in an unsigned order.
The trump vs. elon smokescreen was an attempt to obfuscate this, I bet.
obfuscate the BBB, too. they did it the first time in 2017, with the net neutrality stunt, people were too tired by then to even care about that bill. also distracting from all the tariffs, and doge cuts that the MSM now doesnt report often anymore.
Their little feud was pushed a little too hard, it was more suspicious than any regular news story. I imagine facebook and instagram is awash in LLM generated memes of these two fighting.
