Government is still paying identity theft protection services for most civil servants thanks to a Chinese breach of OPM 10 years ago.

Can someone keep asking DOGE employees to list their top five actions each week?

arthur--dent.bsky.social•1 day ago

Do people realize that even the FBI needs a search warrant to look at social security information?

civicsforall.bsky.social•1 day ago

And, you think that Trump and Musk give a crap about that?

civicsforall.bsky.social•1 day ago

Let alone the fact that they are now running the FBI...

carolsigningagent.bsky.social•1 day ago

The FBI is being gutted. I hope that all the agents that are being fired are not totally going away. Just someplace else.

civicsforall.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yes, someplace else, to fight with us! :-)

pmclauglin.bsky.social•1 day ago

What FBI? I think it's pretty much gone? Law enforcement now up to the states?

jockoconnell.bsky.social•1 day ago

Why don’t we just stop filing our federal tax returns to this bunch?

bernardcahill.bsky.social•1 day ago

Josh, what’s your take on Dems, as a strategy, pledging to arrest and prosecute Musk if they’re returned to office in 2026? Or cancel all his government contracts? Does the counter threat of Trump pardoning him mean such a political strategy wouldn’t work?

lastgreatact.bsky.social•1 day ago

States need to arrest Elon if he winds up in their Jurisdiction.

Anyone in the media ask this if @govpritzker.illinois.gov ?
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social ?
Hochal?
Lamont?

Anyone?

At this point it's safe to assume that every Nigerian Prince has all of your PII.

joshtpm.bsky.social•1 day ago

2/ that distinction - govt vs outside govt - is even meaningful with DOGE. Remember that lots of DOGE people still work full time in jobs outside the govt just like Elon.

noticernoticing.bsky.social•1 day ago

There are things in this world worse than death. This coup for example.

gregofsa.bsky.social•1 day ago

All of our info has been fed to his AI by now. It will be used to harm/manipulate us for years to come.

sallycali.bsky.social•1 day ago

They are following this plan. The USA is just the beginning.

In Elon’s case, the word work really need scare quotes there

I’m willing to bet he’ll walk away with the AI he’s trained up on our data, too.

all-a-mort.bsky.social•1 day ago

Given the history of the DOGE people, that data probably isn't even staying in the country.

realbenisons.bsky.social•1 day ago

ominous

and, I would love to see elected Ds saying "Musk and Trump are the ones defying the will of the people because the govt is still operating via laws passed by the reps we the people chose in 22 (and 18/20/22 in senate)

that law/resolution ends 3/14 and the current R majority has done squat

jbfletcher2024.bsky.social•1 day ago

I’m not surprised at all 🤷🏻‍♀️

jake-66.bsky.social•1 day ago

Elon 100% has the data amassed, combining info from gov’t and private data sources, to tell an AI tool to have the IRS scrutinize people who are critical of him and Trump and leave alone those who aren’t. He can and will do this. No doubt already is.

rodgilbert.bsky.social•1 day ago

Could they have also set a trap in the code to bring down the financial systems as an escape hatch if things start going against them ? Wouldn’t put it past them

leavingfilmstrk.bsky.social•1 day ago

Dems need to be out there explaining -- shouting -- in plain english what it means that all your data is now being fed into AI. People are upset enough about data leaking but its not easy for the average person to understand all the implications.

petalspusher.bsky.social•1 day ago

This will come in handy for the future corporate city states.

malamommy.bsky.social•1 day ago

But we really need is the Democrats to hire some really smart, psychologists and anticult experts that can figure out how to break through the noise and make the Republican see what’s actually happening.

malamommy.bsky.social•1 day ago

The most insidious part though, is that the Republicans won’t believe it. They’ll think it’s a lie until it’s too late and then the wonder what happened. That’s the biggest problem in all of this is that you have nearly 50% of the population he won’t believe what’s going on

wileykann.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yes, we could #SeizeSpaceX using the takings clause of the 5th amendment. Even if the dems don't have the power right now, they can make a stink to high heaven

The GOP constantly raises crap with no legal footing

Democrats have legal footing in this aspect of eminent domain

I work in finance & know enough to keep secure. Someone applied for a loan in my name last week. The bank said the bad guys had everything but my mother's maiden name & at the exact same time, the email address used in the app was signed up for 2 dozen different government department mailing lists.

citrineglitter.bsky.social•1 day ago

I got a credit freeze on all three companies (Experian, TransUnion, and . . . that other one) some months ago. You've done that, right?

oddity.org•1 day ago

@karaswisher.bsky.social was on a recent podcast with @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social, and made a great point that Musk would greatly benefit from all this governmental data for his AI ambitions. I suspect most Americans would not be OK with that. Just a hunch.

skythinker.bsky.social•1 day ago

so do we get new ssn’s after the pitchforks part is done?

malamommy.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yes, except the number will be tattooed on your forearm. 😬

catquilts.bsky.social•1 day ago

No we'll all have a chip embedded in our arm so thy can easily track us and know if we are a citizen, a resistor, and numerous other characteristics.

malamommy.bsky.social•1 day ago

Oh god. You’re right. We’ll probably all get a Neuralink. I think Trump may already have gotten one.

mhenselder.bsky.social•1 day ago

Felon 47 doesn’t have enough neurons left from his dementia to have any implant augment his cognition😵‍💫

That's the obvious plan. They aren't firing all the feds to save money. They are doing it to take over.

I worry that foreign hackers will be able to hack into our personal info and sell it on the black market.

I mean the “good news“ is that if every Americans data is available you personally probably won’t be affected.

Hoping that someone will sue the snot out of these doge criminals stealing our data!

Elon is doing whatever he wants with it - including handing it over to Putin or selling it on the dark web

shuntbump.bsky.social•1 day ago

Those punks are going to profit from Americans asleep at the wheel. They’re going to monetize data to their benefit.

The data is the real story, not the firings.

I assume they could stop checks to recipients in blue zip codes or stares.
