DOGE says it needs to know the government's most sensitive data,
I can tell you why:
Revelation 13:16-18
16 It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, 17 so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.
18 This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man.[a] That number is 666.
"Fewer than 50 people have access to Social Security Administration databases containing hundreds of millions of people's private financial and personal information.
But only one also has access to the government's human resources and student loan files.

(Way to point out its not an official department NPR.)
staffers who have embedded in federal agencies the last few months with virtually unfettered access to the sensitive, compartmentalized sources of data collected by the government. The team, which is steered by billionaire Elon Musk, says it's scouring government records for signs of waste, fraud and abuse.
(And they aint showed signs of much of nothin.)
"In one order last week blocking DOGE's access to Social Security data, U.S. District Judge Ellen Lipton Hollander of Maryland said the government "never identified or articulated even a single reason for which the DOGE Team needs unlimited access to SSA's entire record systems, thereby exposing personal, confidential, sensitive, and private information that millions of Americans entrusted to their government."
(See Revelation 13:16-18 above.)
Instead of a more narrow approach to data access and work to "modernize the system and uncover fraud," Hollander wrote that DOGE's unprecedented access to protected data "is tantamount to hitting a fly with a sledgehammer."
"An NPR review of thousands of pages of records across more than a dozen lawsuits in federal court finds an alarming pattern across agencies, where DOGE has given conflicting information about what data it has accessed, who has that access, and most importantly — why.'
(Told you why, you think they are going to?)
"In the Social Security Administration lawsuit, Hollander found several DOGE staffers "were granted access to SSA systems before their background checks were completed or their inter-agency detail agreements were finalized."
"One of those is Bobba, who was given access to the master data warehouse at SSA that includes the Master Beneficiary Record, Supplemental Security Record and Numident files containing "extensive information about anyone with a social security number," according to filings in the case."
"According to a memorandum of understanding detailing Bobba's work with SSA, the Office of Personnel Management and Education Department that was improperly redacted by OPM, Bobba agreed to do any work on Social Security data from the agency headquarters."
But an affidavit from former SSA chief of staff Tiffany Flick said that Bobba was working off-site from OPM where other people "may have also had access to this protected information," Flick wrote.
Not even lawyers for the government can account for when and how DOGE staffers received access to sensitive databases. In a Labor Department lawsuit, Judge John D. Bates notes that "defendants themselves acknowledge inconsistencies across their evidence" regarding DOGE.
"Marko Elez, a DOGE employee who resigned from his post at the Treasury Department in early February after racist social media posts resurfaced, "sent an email with a spreadsheet containing PII to two United States General Services Administration officials," according to an audit of his email account submitted in one court filing."
"Government lawyers said Elez was "erroneously" and "mistakenly" given the ability to change data on Treasury's Secure Payment System, which a judge said demonstrates DOGE access was "rushed and undertaken by political pressure."
"Congress warned against this
— a half-century ago
When Congress passed the Privacy Act of 1974, lawmakers expressed concerns about personal information amassed in digital databases by the "omnivorous fact collectors" of federal agencies.
"During the debate about the bill, Arizona Republican Sen. Barry Goldwater was worried about the possibility "that every detail of our personal lives can be assembled instantly for use by a single bureaucrat or institution."
"I hope that we never see the day when a bureaucrat in Washington or Chicago or Los Angeles can use his organization's computer facilities to assemble a complete dossier or all known information about an individual," Republican Sen. Charles Percy said.
"Fifty years later, the Department of Government Efficiency effort headed by Musk appears to be doing just that, bypassing the Privacy Act, agency security protocols and training for handling the most sensitive data maintained by federal agencies."
(Revelation 13:16-18.
You are going to see it.
Along with a nuclear war.
Count on it.)
"The government has also repeatedly failed to articulate a clear purpose for the unprecedented access it seeks to deeply sensitive information, and why the data it wants access to is necessary for that purpose," said Kristin Woelfel, a lawyer with the nonprofit Center for Democracy and Technology. "If the government cannot answer those questions, then DOGE has no business accessing that data."
"Part of what is unnerving and is scary both to companies whose data is involved and also Americans whose most sensitive financial information is at risk, is that we don't know what they're doing," former CFPB chief technologist Erie Meyer previously told NPR."
(You might not,
this community does.)
"It's so ironic because Trump supporters are so worried about 'Big Brother' and government, and they are allowing this entity to amass that data," Weismann said. "I mean, I don't think there's another entity in the federal government that collectively has access to that kind of data."
(Thats kinda what outlaw,
snake oil salesmen,
false prophet fellons do,
bait and switch yo.)
"Last week, Trump signed an executive action that appears to continue to push agencies toward "eliminating information silos" and sharing more sensitive data across federal agencies, including ensuring that the government has
"unfettered access
to all unemployment data
and related payment records."
"It encourages federal agency leaders to find ways to rescind existing regulations and guidance about information sharing within and between agencies — with no mention of privacy or data security.'
