Folks, this is a very big deal to have political appointees in charge of every government check. Maybe Dems have more to say about this? Might be a good time to raise the roof.

I think this is horrific! No way should a political appointee - like Musk - have access to so much classified and personal data (e.g., Social Security checks). Trump in the Oval Office is like drinking from a fire hose - all day, every day - outlandish announcements by the minute.
I think Dems have been caught flat footed & have no idea how to respond to the absolute annihilation of the government. They expected tRump to play by the book. Since he's clearly going rouge, they don't know what the hell to do. Hitler was like that too.
Open up your copy of project 2025 and follow along…
Please check to see what’s coming next so you can obstruct, hinder, and defeat their plans to bring down democracy. We need our Democratic elected officials to get as mad as we are!
LFG!
HOW is this legal??? HOW is this allowed to just happen???
WHEN will the feckless GOP stand up for Americans instead of cowering before Trump??? WHERE are the Dem leaders???
We as Citizens of the US should file a class action lawsuit against Musk for illegally accessing our personal data.
@schumer.senate.gov & @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social need to be on the air every day with minority party “hearings” on the security threat. No more cooperation. Use every lever of a minority party to #Resist
Having a “volunteer” get access, with no background check, hiring, or oath…with less vetting than a low level federal clerk, is a national security issue, and for each American’s personal identifying information.
The Democrats are not going to solve this. They are as dysfunctional as the Republicans. They are not going to solve it. The only way this gets solved is if there are people literally packing the capital every day so Congress people cannot even walk to their office.
Democrats are just sitting back,always giving up. Maga cheated (again) in this election to get the Criminal-in-chief elected.Trump openly admitted that the MAGA folks cheated for him to become president. Pull it up on YouTube & check it out. That evil-monster-troll has no shame! He's got to GO NOW!
It seems a lot of the problems we're facing today could have been avoided had the Democrats had the foresight to impose a $500 billion tariff on all neo-Nazism imported from South Africa....
How can we let this happen? Social Security & Medicare that we've dutifully paid through our employment deductions for our entire lives? Musk now has access to the entire Treasury Department including the FDIC which protects our personal money deposited in the bank? YES, raise the roof indeed!!!
This is one of the few times that private citizens have more power than members of Congress. Privacy laws protect access to social security info even if it is stored somewhere else. Individuals have remedies they can start using now. If you are an employee you have rights. People will get it.
Dems are doing nothing. They need to do PR every minute of the day. Providing live fact checking, constant updates same as we had during covid-19 on every new executive action appointee, musk etc. Media blitz on every and any news, social media etc.
What do we do? This is insane. Why aren't we hearing about the Dems and healthy Republicans fighting this? Supreme court? Judges - ? Musk doesn't have the right to be there.
While I’m tempted to lash out about the apparent lack of outrage and action from the Dems, Trump and his minions are creating levels of chaos so extreme that everyone is off balance. Project 2025 playbook, chapter and verse. Firehose of disinformation. God help us.
We are witnessing a coup and our leaders are twiddling their thumbs. A few are expressing shock, shock I tell you, that it’s illegal…as if many coups followed established law.
My Reps and Senators are saying plenty ( as well as multistate lawsuits our AG has joined). Perhaps your friends in the press could bother covering that?
Mr Rather, color me skeptical that Democratic Party as we know it today is up to the task.
I wonder if the group of leaders that we need will ultimately have to come from both existing parties but AFTER acknowledging that their old party is kaputt.
Musk’s “New Department DOGE is not Ben listed in the official White House Website. All the other Departments and members of his cabinet are listed there except Musk. How is this even legal?
Yes time for the democrats to raise the roof and then lower the boom on Trump and Felon Musk. There needs to be someway that U.S. unconstitutional via the Bill of Rights. They’re infringing on our right to life and liberty. Founding fathers…please speak up.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying Dan Rather you should march in your Capitol Wed. Film it, lead the charge I guess because we have no one leading us except Bernie Sanders and he's an independent.
Has anyone sued the administration about the EO that led to the creation and over-reaching abilities of DOGE? Is it before a federal judge? That's the only way to stop it. Get it before a judge, and hopefully an injunction comes out of it.
They aren't even government employees. There needs to be a TRO against the operation of DOGE until it has been determined what its legal status is vis a vis the government. At best he's a consultant. Consultants don't get the kind of access he's getting.
I don’t think the Dems are going to do anything except vote for Trumps nominees they shouldn’t agree to any of them but look what they did with the Treasurer and he in turn gave Musk access to the Social Security and who knows what else. This is all wrong.
I'm getting sick of the Democrats. I have written letters and posted messages. If things were reversed, the Republicans would be all over the media. The Dems seem to be quiet, or the press has already sold out to the orange bully. I worry that grandchildren won't know what a Democracy is.
Yes It’s a very big deal to me since my income comes from OPM & SS. I worked in IT for years for DOD & security was tight. Key cards for doors, encrypted passwords, secret clearances, etc. This is unbelievable for Musk to access our data that is supposed be SECURED. I’m outraged.
This is such B/S. The Illegal South African Side President Nazi’s staff has access to America’s information. We don’t even know who these people are? Or from where? What kind of Security Clearance? Everyone is totally exposed! WTAF Twilight Zone are we living in?
When did Musk become a “political appointee”? He’s not even that! He’s outside government and part of an advisory committee that requires balanced membership, isn’t he?
I find it stunning that the Democrats...House and Senate...are not up in arms about Elon Musk and his meddling with the established steps and processes enshrined in the Constitution.

Not one Democrat should confirm any of Trump's picks. Full stop. Let them know.

Why are they now being blamed?
You voted for this.
So you need to get out and protest.
Don't expect others to clean up for you.
My comment is aimed at the GoP/non voters
With the rest of the Kleptocrats
We the People pay attention
We the People uphold the US Constitution
Start a trade war.
Automatic stock sell off happens.
Market crashes.
Billionaire cronies buy everything at bargain basement prices.
Then rescind the tariffs.
There's no stopping them now.
With your expanded influence, who are you contacting to get law enforcement and cameras into Treasury and OPM RIGHT NOW to stop this #coup?
Tell us who to contact beyond our elected reps; they aren't answering.
Do you know if our reps are still alive?

it's all part of what the DOGE executive order spelled out in section 4. Read it for yourself:
