DOGE has done major damage to the Social Security Administration (SSA) —
and we’re still finding out just how bad things have gotten under Trump’s
reign.
Recently, a whistleblower from the SSA reported that DOGE uploaded Social
Security data to a cloud account that could expose the sensitive
information of 300 million people, including health diagnoses, income,
banking information, familial relationships and personal biographic
data.^1 Days later, the whistleblower resigned due to the SSA’s
“questionable and potentially unlawful data management practices.”^2
The Trump administration has fired SSA staff, closed field offices, spread
disinformation about widespread fraud, failed to keep our data secure, and
put the very survival of Social Security at risk. Congress must launch a
full investigation into the mishandling of Social Security to protect the
benefits that keep millions out of poverty.

The courageous whistleblower, Charles Borges, had been the SSA's chief
data officer (CDO) since January.
When he resigned he said, “I am put in the intolerable situation of not
having visibility or oversight into activities that potentially violate
statues and regulations which I, as the CDO, may legally or otherwise be
held accountable for should I continue in this position. I cannot verify
that agency data is being used in accordance with legal agreements or in
compliance with federal requirements.”^3
Trump’s cuts, firings, incompetence, and destructiveness could shatter
Social Security — a program that 61% of people who receive benefits said
that they could not survive without.^4
Congress must do everything in their power to protect, restore, and fully
fund Social Security. That includes launching a full-scale investigation
into Trump officials and their catastrophic mismanagement of the SSA.
