  • Senator Gary Peters reports that the Trump Administration's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is operating outside federal law with unchecked access to Americans' personal data.
  • DOGE staff have copied sensitive Social Security and employment data into an unsecured cloud database, risking catastrophic breaches and identity theft.
  • Whistleblowers reveal that DOGE personnel lack proper training and oversight, with one individual previously fired for mishandling data having unrestricted access to SSA systems.
  • A potential breach could require re-issuing Social Security numbers for all Americans, disrupting banking, employment, healthcare, and housing.
  • DOGE operatives work across multiple agencies without clear accountability, bypassing cybersecurity protocols and contradicting agency leadership.
  • Senator Peters calls for an immediate halt to DOGE operations due to the severe risks posed to Americans' privacy and security.
