John,

A brave whistleblower has come forward and sounded the alarm, warning about the Trump administration’s actions at the Social Security Administration that has risks for all of us:1

NYT Headline: DOGE Put Critical Social Security Data At Risk, Whistle-Blower Says

The whistleblower, who was the chief data officer at SSA, reveals that Elon Musk’s DOGE goons copied the entire NUMIDENT file, which contains sensitive personal financial information about everyone who has ever been issued a Social Security Number, on an unsecure private server for reasons that remain unknown.

This arrangement creates a holy grail for hackers―and we won’t know if it’s been breached until it’s too late.

Social Security Works is fighting to uproot DOGE from the Social Security Administration and restore the service we’ve paid into for generations. Can you rush a donation today to fight back?

The database Musk’s henchmen copied includes full names, addresses, Social Security numbers, and dates of birth―everything that a hacker would need to steal our identities.

The whistleblower warned: “Should bad actors gain access to this cloud environment, Americans may be susceptible to widespread identity theft, may lose vital health care and food benefits, and the government may be responsible for reissuing every American a new Social Security number at great cost.”

DOGE claims that they’re helping to save money. But the truth is, they’re stripping our government for parts, and selling things off to the highest bidder. It’s all part of a scheme that includes plans to privatize Medicare, the Post Office, the Weather Service, and Social Security. It has to be stopped.

We have stopped them before. We know how to fight back―and it’s going to take all of us. Can you chip in $7 today?
