And it’s our personal data. It means we can all, each, be individually retaliated against. In addition, to traditional security breaches and held social security etc.

You should print out your Social Security Statement. Elon and who knows how many countless others now have access to your private information, so it'd be wise to have a record of it.

Fernandez: "Would you invite Elon Musk or his interns into your savings account? would you ask him to come and rifle through your regular house bills? would you-- oh my god-- tell him to come over and take a look at your children's personal data?"

Last night, I wrote in my newsletter, Civil Discourse, about Trump's new coup. I base my analysis on the facts and the law, not hyperbole. We are at a serious tipping point. I hope you'll subscribe if you feel the same way, or if you just want to learn more. joycevance.substack.com

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

Just a heads up:

If you got an issue with some upcoming legislation, you can call the Capital switchboard at:

202-224-2131

Let them know you got grievances and how you feel about all the bullshit coming up.

I’m sure they haven’t gone through federal government security background checks to have access to our PII data. Same with Elon. The level of data access is unbelievable. The employees that were trying to block access (and fired for it) were doing the right thing.

This is a huge issue. Identity 101 at the most basic to even worse with how it could be used to destroy lives.

I guess Musk-Trump have accessed every American’s personal data- our Social Security all private information. Whatever the government knew about us is now completely in Elon Musk’s possession. We don’t know what he plans to do with it

🤔🤔🤔 Really NOT liking the fact that #Elon and his peeps who have not gone through a background checks have access to our #PII, #SSN data (#SSDI, #Medicare), tax returns and more. Huge security breakdown.

Think about it… now he marries it to Twitter data... #IdentityTheft101 and worse here

The Inspectors General refuse to leave until the action is taken legally, which they do not believe it was, and neither do senators like Chuck Grassley. This is what not backing down looks like.

Someone needs to explain to RFK that telemedicine is only great if your insurance covers it and you can access it cross border. This assumes patients HAVE insurance: 72million lost it yesterday. Is it back yet?
