NEW: The Supreme Court has ruled that DOGE can have unimpeded access to sensitive Social Security records for millions of people.

Ugh. Supreme Court permits stage to have access to sensitive Social Security data, over the sense of the three progressives. With the Trump- Musk feud increasingly, bitter, and Musk loyalists in place at DOGE, it’s a dangerous situation.

Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing. ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him. seiuca.org/press-releas...

The Supreme Court decision allowing DOGE full, unfettered access to the public's most sensitive personal data is a loss for all of us. No one in history -- no commissioner, no president, no one -- has ever had the access that these DOGE minions have.

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

Israel’s former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has denounced the war his successor, Benjamin Netanyahu, has been waging in Gaza. In a piece for Haaretz, Olmert referred to the current government as a “criminal gang” led by Netanyahu. As a proud American Jew, I agree. www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a...

Trump's budget bill must be defeated. Otherwise Project 2025 will become the law of the land and our 250 years of 'No Kings' will be undone. My latest: open.substack.com/pub/edwineis...

Elon Musk must've taken a big dose of truth serum, because he's absolutely right: the GOP tax bill would blow up the deficit by $3 trillion — and that's AFTER they cut health care for 16 million people. This bill is only "beautiful" for billionaires. For everyone else, it's the Great Betrayal.

On the one hand you might get your identity stolen when your data gets leaked by some 20 year old intern using ChatGPT but on the other there won’t be any social security left to collect anyway when the republicans in congress give it all to the billionaires

MAJOR UPDATE: The Supreme Court just handed DOGE the keys to all the sensitive personal information Social Security has on file — your income, benefits, health records, and more. Why do Donald Trump and his cronies need access to millions of Americans’ private data? It’s absurd.

hey, just following up with a quick legal ethics question: why did you ask your client whether he had information which could be used to blackmail the President?

Trump posts a statement from lawyer David Schoen—who represented both Epstein and Trump—denying that Epstein had any incriminating information on Trump. Interestingly, Schoen says he asked Epstein that exact question just before Epstein’s death. Very curious!

Reminder that the Social Security Administration (per DOGE) instituted supposed anti-fraud checks for benefit claims made over the phone. Only two out of over 110,000 claims had a high probability of fraud — a rate of .0018%. But it slowed retirement claim processing by 25%.
