‼️‼️‼️There’s a lot in this article that’s extremely concerning, but what sticks out to me is that #SSA leadership is maintaining that they have not been able to determine exactly WHAT data has been compromised. This is flatly unacceptable. Please call your reps/senators and demand a full accounting.
A quote from this article: "The cavalier way in which they're treating this data is honestly quite appalling to me."
I'm running for office because I am NOT cavalier with the public trust, and I put people before personal benefit.

The Trump administration admits even more ways DOGE accessed sensitive personal data
New court documents reveal even more ways DOGE improperly accessed and shared sensitive personal data last year — and how that data appears to have been used to advance dubious fraud claims.

If I feel vindicated, y’all KNOW our favorite #SSA whistleblower @chuckborges.bsky.social feels extra vindicated, as #SSA has now basically stated that everything he said happened actually happened. His attorney has released a lovely statement that is basically “I told you so” in legalese. Enjoy ❤️🔥

Day 2, still waiting for those "single digit" wait times.
Today's reality:
2.5 hour waits, 43K+ in queue.
Yesterday SSA posted victory laps. Today 34K people are still on hold at 3:31pm.
Receipts don't lie. Propaganda does.

SSA claims "phone wait times DOWN to SINGLE DIGITS."
Reality today:
2+ hour waits, 85% never get through, 35K+ still on hold at 3:20pm.
Single digits? Try propaganda.
We've got receipts. Every day. Time-stamped.
What's the Commissioner got? Photo ops and fiction.

Greedy Wall Street billionaires want nothing more than to take our Social Security money to gamble it on the stock market and extract fees along the way.

Dr. King didn't just dream—he organized. He stood with workers demanding dignity and knew civil rights and labor rights are inseparable. Today we honor him by defending federal workers and the communities we serve. All labor has dignity. ✊

This is how they get the rest of us to leave. Then they sell it off to the highest bidder. We cant let this pass!
Claiming to balance the budget on the backs of federal workers—by taking away their rights and their benefits:
This is extortion. Full stop.
And I oppose it in every single way.
