Every American has the right to know what DOGE is doing with their personal information. I submitted a Privacy Act request to DOGE, demanding they tell me why they have my Social Security number and direct deposit information.

I did too, but the link on your site that we were to click on after we mailed our FOIA request didn’t work for me. Mighta been in my end. I’ve run into trouble before, just because I use Apple products. Do you know how long it should take before we get a response from DOGE? Thanks for your time.
Not that you or your colleagues listen or respond to ‘we the people’ these days, but you have an unelected, unappointed, unanointed, and unaccountable foreign agent running around like the country is his to destroy —and maybe someone needs to stop him.
Go to https://annualcreditreport.com you can check for free all 3 bureaus. If you want to go to each one, TransUnion, Equifax and Experian. You can block your credit so no one including you can take out a loan in your name. If you need to get a loan or make a big purchase you must stop the block, same way.
Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion, these are the credit bureaus. I’ve frozen all 3 accounts. It’s easy to enroll if you don’t have accounts. If you’re ever hacked you would need to report to these bureaus.
Yepp. We got that notification a week or so after getting our tax return back. So I’m assuming that’s where a majority of our information was taken from.
I want Musk sued by the entire population of an America, for every dime he has. Bankrupt the man, take his wealth, split it evenly and spread it out to all of us victims.
I’m guessing we will soon have to have our checks deposited in an ‘approved’ bank, and will need to make the change in person at a SS office before we can receive any more checks.
I sent mine. I have this image in my head of hundreds of these arriving daily and hundreds being dropped, unopened into the trach. How would we know and who will enforce these?
When Raskin originally posted this and it led right to the form to fill out. I just spent some time trying to find it again and don't see it. Maybe they got tired of the letters already? I am going to dig deeper and see what I can come up with.
We will stop paying taxes in civil protest. We will not show up for work. We won't shop for anything but necessities.
We will not travel. We will shut this country down. We the people have yet to fight. We won't be disregarded to increase the wealth of corporate America. The people are angry resist
The squeaky wheel gets the grease….same concept as that. The more we report, call them out, call them, tell senators and congress and local reps about them, protest them, we stand a chance. So better question, what gets done if we all just sit and wonder what good this does. Not being rude 😃👍🏽✌🏽🌈✊🏽
Yeah. Just saying, I get those scammer calls all the time, ATT had a breach and they paid for monitoring. It’s not a game and these idiots could care less. Drag book readings though? Holy hell, let’s have an uprising!
The way DOGE is invading our privacy woth abandon at every level doesn't seem to be getting a lot of attention, but if you think how much damage can be done to you personally by one lone wolf hacker, imagine when it is being randomly accessed this way...why? Sell it to the highest bidder?
There are many people who loathe the idea of submitting privacy act requests or FOIA requests, for the very real fear of getting put on some hit list with DOGE.
I’m fearful too, but I’m doing it anyway. As others have pointed out… they already have EVERYTHING, everything that I believed was private & protected. Ha! 🙄 At this point I might as well post it all online. 🤦🏻♀️🤬
I thought about that, too, but they already have my info. I can either live in fear or resist. I also recognize that I have a lot of privilege and choose to use it where others may not feel comfortable or able.
It's a legitimate fear - but if we aren't willing to take even bare minimum steps to fight very real fascism then what are we doing? They win if we don't fight.
There are people doing this who are capable of going toe-to-toe w/ DOGE if they get nasty on the internet. We have their names, too.
Could you possibly introduce a bill allowing the recall of elected federal representatives? There are a lot of Americans that would love the opportunity for a do-over of their original choices. Maybe the idea of a recall would scare some sense of duty back into them. But probably not.
You are a crook.Nobody gives a shit about your personal info.Doge has exposed all your Slush funds, so you have only 1 little option, and that is your bogus personal information.Your personal bank account is important to the FBI!They are going to "Follow The Money"Good luck you elitist crook!
Why did you all ignore the potential evidence of him cheating? Why didn’t you have any objections during the certification? Why didn’t you uphold sec 3 of the 14th amendment?
You don’t seem to believe we have a right to know here.
Please Rep. Raskin
pursue this to its fullest…it is initiatives
like this on behalf of the American people (we seem to be losing faith in this) that go a very long way in maintaining depth of info and insight AND allaying the fear and uncertainty of what appear to be reckless dangerous policies
TY!
Thanks Jamie. Printing my copies and a few extra. I know I'm not the only one concerned. I still wonder how muskRAT is still out of jail, his having released that judge's daughter's confidential tax info. Isn't that still illegal?
Gonna send demanding a signature so they can't claim wasn't delivered
What will happen as they defy court orders?
Nothing - and they know it.
How much is each citizen worth to a Republican Congress member?
I would love to see an actual # for what each citizen is being sold out to Musk.
I would think every American citizen must feel betrayed by the U.S. government that access to their personal information has been allowed! Responding to complaints about this, my congressman, Tom McClintock says we should be happy about the money that is being saved. Not a good representation for us
Our rights lie in the DOGE terrorists being in prison where they belong. I wonder how this lawlessness will play out with law abiding citizens, when they question why _they’re_ still observing our laws.
We the people have to find a way to get together en masse and act as one unit. The democratic congress and senate have thrown in the towel and have joined the Nazis. It's entirely up to us now. We have to get off our computers and cell phones and ipads and do something. Before we wind up in an oven.

Listen the moment DOGE even became a thing, the country was out the door and when it stole our private information that we entrusted to you to protect, the door shut. You get that little fucker OUT OF OUR LIVES.
This really goes into depth about how truly evil Neo liberalism really is. England did have their version of Obama bailed out the billionaires with a trifecta in 09. D party is further right wing than her. Harris Ran as our thatcher. Thatcher vs trump the choice 2024.
I did not do my Taxes this year because of this. An argument I’ll take to court if need be. If my Student Loans go up… I’ll let it go because my credit won’t mean shit the next few years.
It’s called muskrat is committing Espionage with 20 year old kids that can’t pass a FBI background check.they will rob America blind of our $ and sell out all our top secrets and give away all the people that are protecting America they are a clear and present danger.This should be stopped today🤬
Congressman Raskin can we also submit Privacy Act requests to find out exactly what Steve Davis is doing at DOGE? It seems rather ominous. Perhaps the House should hold hearings:
The fact doge staff is using force, coercion, armed US marshals, FBI and DC Police to take control of organizations is a bigger concern. But, maybe I am the only one who thinks data is less important than a constitutional right.
Armed Law enforcement is backing doge. It’s a matter of time before they officially make a police enforcement decision and provide them with full time armed security and then they become the elon SS.
Dems need to start talking about Social Security. They need to tell people about the shutdown of SS offices they need to organize help for disabled & elderly folks to verify ID on line before March 31. Republicans/Doge are going to deny delay depose future SS recipients of their EARNED BENEFITS.
You can do it online or phone. You may have a few issues online. Most everyone who I have heard from has. It may take a few attempts. If you don’t have an account already you need to establish one.
There is a lot of people that don’t use the internet and don’t trust to learn . We have told many times to expect a letter before any changes are to be made to our benefits and some people don’t have the transportation to get to the social security office
I logged into my account to check all my info is correct and got lost with a new 3 step verification process so I called our local office. Two rings and a lady answered. Couldn't believe it. She verified everything and noted my call and update and said I'm all set.
Anyone who’s ever had a clearance understands & signed acknowledgements RE: penalties for inappropriately accessing government systems & data.
How have these twerps just had free run at every agency? They haven’t been vetted/ have clearances.
Yet those with clearances would be arrested for this.
There was push back. People resigned from very senior positions when it became clear they were going to be steamrolled anyway due to lack of Congressional support
But there is outcry, and there are lawsuits currently in front of judges. What do you think the Democrat Party should do to stop trump and musk, other than go thru the courts?
I live overseas. Living overseas with the deafening voices of radicalized crazies would be insanity. I would not even consider coming to the US for vacation and my kids were born in MN but they would not welcome being stopped by ICE. Dont get me wrong. I admire Americans standing up to bullies
Every American deserves a living wage, a place to live, food for their kids, the right to an abortion...
Where has your party been on all these rights?
Oh, nowhere.
I was actually homeless when your party was in office.
Now that it's you being affected, all the sudden you care.
Fuck Democrats.
I want to do this and I was trying to get friends to, but one of them said to me "I don't want to be targeted by DOGE so I'm not going to do it" which may be a valid point, what's to stop them from targeting us with our own information after submitting a FOIA request?
This is what I wrote to someone else fearful of the same thing…
I’m fearful too, but I’m doing it anyway. As others have pointed out… they already have EVERYTHING, everything that I believed was private & protected. Ha! 🙄 At this point I might as well post it all online. 🤦🏻♀️🤬
Please add my name as one of the Voters that wants this done. I seem to be getting even more spam since Elon and his DOGE morons have been putting our information on their private servers. I want to know who they are giving or selling it to.
1/ Well, I'd say that puts the cart before the horse - were it not that the horse already has broken into the barn, settled in, and with no legal authority whatsoever is rampaging through EVERYTHING, including formerly highly secure databases.
2/ TODAY'S news reports about the federal judges who are by now REALLY LOSING PATIENCE with DOJ for ignoring their most recent order to produce actual specific, y'know, DETAILS about WHO'S running this operation and upon WHAT LEGAL AUTHORITY.
IOW ... the latest head-fake order by one or more of ...
No one is safe under this White House administration. Maga has no intention of following any rules, laws, and norms. They must be deprived of power and the ability to continue their horrific destruction of America's government, it's values, and safety.
My husband and I feel stalled. We know the right thing to do as adults is to file our taxes and normally we do so quickly. We’re nearing April and still don’t feel comfortable filing in these circumstances or if it is the right thing to do right now. Advice?
Everyone needs to change the bank account which the government knows about. Trump and Elon will claw back your money. I’d opt for old fashioned paper checks. If not an option, I’d leave a zero balance in my direct deposit account.
@raskin.house.gov When are they appearing before congress to answer for everything they’ve done? Where’s that transparency and those answers we were promised?
I keep an eye on our accounts very closely if Elon wants to try something he needs to check my profile because I am a way better engineer than him and a way better hacker than his STOOGE team and I am really losing my patience.
Jamie, they don’t care about the law. I would be surprised if they give you an answer. They have this information to commit crimes using the American people’s data.
Thank you… they need to stop wasting time like this. The system is broken, they destroyed it. Stop trying to use the broken stem to hurt these people. They don’t care it’s a COUP. It’s really better for the people that don’t know how to handle this to really admit it and move out of the way!
But honestly we need to unify forcefully and be ready to be uncomfortable . Because they are preying on us and our individualism. These are generational families, they organize at lunch and dinner! We can’t stop fighting about our 10k designer vagina being able to use the right symbol.
I’ve stated my faults and I wish more people would do the same so we can have conversation to start to organize as well as the other side. We are still to personalized and worried about individuality. We are still firing for personal titles to all say we are Human?
Glad you asked. I have no idea I didn’t train to become a government official. But I see the side of things I want to be on and they are no where near as organized as the others. I have done everything call, text, your rep etc. and then I see this as my payoff. I bill that will go into a shredder.
Fair enough. I guess what I’m asking is understand your feeling is a luxury to some. People are dying and being sent off to labor camps while we try to figure out what they are doing with our data so we can browse Netflix safely or order our groceries in because we dont have a car?!
Time for Seniors and others to arm ourselves with pitchforks outside the White House. I'm getting really tired of waiting for Democrats to actually do something.
Thank you for your work, I appreciate your strong stances and outspokenness. What is the action plan when they ignore your request completely and take further inappropriate action?
John Roberts locked us into a minimum of four years of nonstop criminal activity from the White House. I wonder how long it will take before crime is everywhere all the time and there is no one enforcing the law, only prosecuting Trump's critics. They have your info because xAI wanted it.
I see this from the other side.
Holland.
Americans need to watch out and take action.
Trump is turning America into an autocracy, or fascist state faster than Hitler did.
Wake up Americans, get up while you still can!!!!
For sure thats true.
There is a lot more then we know.
It looks like he hates America .
Maybe after his first term, with the impeachement?
Others saying ,he is blackmailed by the kremlin for sex with underaged girls in Moscow.
In the 90ish ,
After he was saved from bankrupt by olycharchs.
Thanks Jamie. I guess this is something but could you do a little more to stop Musk from destroying our country. Why are we not able to fight back with all we've got.
This really does need to stop. Letting an unelected asshole and his cronies decimate the government, waste tax money, and steal our data is intolerable. Musk and Trump must both be removed. If my taxes weren't automatically deducted I'd stop paying the federal ones at this point.
This sounds like someone went up to the bully’s house & sheepishly knocked on the door with questions.
What will you do when they tell you to F-off & push you to the ground while their entourage laughs at you before slamming the door?
‘Cos that is what they will do.
Rules have changed. Do better!
Doge stands for Doonlygoodeveryday not some maniacal government agency Hell bent on ruining people's lives. Dogecoin is the people's currency all the people 😉 beware of wolves in Doge clothing 😉💙✌️🌎🙏🇺🇲
A Privacy Act request? They’re defying court orders. They don’t care about your request. There is no accountability and you’re taking your time while people face real suffering. Please do more.
Maybe if democrats would stop fucking conceding saying “we do need to target waste, fraud, and abuse”
Completely astonishing that the platform didn’t see this coming and had absolutely no safety plans in place, no resistance and just continue to expect republicans to dump Trump.
Start calling it the Department Of Greedy Evil (or Elon) and start calling the GOP the Greedy Oligarch Party or the Ruling Class Party. Slogans matter.
How about you just stop them since it's not a legal government agency? Since you all just let this happen by taking no steps to prevent it in the 4 years before, it's now probably too late
They're ignoring the courts. What's your plan for that? Just keep telling the courts to tell them to stop?
It's obvious why Anus-MUSk (parasite🪱) is going after Americans personal data, SS, Medicaid, Medicare & other benefits that enrich their corrupt pockets. 🖕
Anus-MUSk paid for the presidency & feels entitled to steal from the government because of his corruption business. 🤬
No one knowingly or voluntarily submitted. They went in and pillaged it all. 🤬🤬
As for the form, I feel they already have fingertip access to whoever’s info they want. Besides, there’s nothing on the form that can’t be found in any search engine, so I figure it can’t hurt to send it.
So, I understand this and I am 100% for this fight. But I am not trusting that I wouldn't be immediately put onto a list for doing so. Confirming all of my contact information for them. Nope. They have no intention of following our laws. Since they are an illegal branch of government to begin with.
My question to you is, assuming they comply with the foia request and reply, what can you or anyone do to protect their information? Once they’ve got it what’s to stop them from doing something nefarious with it? Do we believe these techno-teens don’t see the value in that info? There’s no safeguard
doge is not an official/legal part of OUR government ... why are they permitted to do the damage they are doing? Why is sHitler45.f NOT taken down for an "inside job" INSURRECTION?
When does sHitler45.f get removed for "aiding/abetting the enemy"?
For holding an insurrection inside the WH since 1/20/2025? Includes schMuck (doge team)! And, everyone in the "cabinet".
For "EO's" on items (eliminating federal departments) that generally take would take an ACT OF CONGRESS?
I asked this the last time this orange monster was in office. I agree and support this idea. It’s funding a law firm that knows constitutional law and is big enough to go up against the government. I’m always looking into this. 👍🏽💜🌈✊🏽✌🏽

The clearest evidence of that is the violence prevention measures were axed by DOGE.
But glad I am!
I work in Tech, so I've been paranoid for over 2 decades.
I have my info locked down.
Keep up the Great work! You are on Target! 🎯

We will not travel. We will shut this country down. We the people have yet to fight. We won't be disregarded to increase the wealth of corporate America. The people are angry resist
Millions might lose their income, so I’m suggesting an interim basic income, until the system be recovered.
Whatever plan the admin comes up with will be a scam.

The Republican Party under that Orange is exercising absolute power, especially in a cruel and oppressive way.
We would like to fry Hillary Clinton over use of a private server.
Also MAGA/GOP:
We are cool with unelected and unVETTED, tech bros having access to ALL of our data and sensitive information.
There are people doing this who are capable of going toe-to-toe w/ DOGE if they get nasty on the internet. We have their names, too.

They plan to give everyone a debit card. So they can monitor how you spend your money and on what.
And assess your threat level to "the state". And turn that card on or off accordingly...
