Supreme Court gives DOGE Social Security data access & a pass on transparency
Hate handing over your Social Security number? Don’t worry! The US Supreme Court just handed over wholesale access to the (formerly, Musk’s) Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) because…well, why not? DOGE asked, which was reason enough.
Plus, in additional recognition of its specialness, they also paused a lower court order requiring DOGE to respond to a lawsuit request for documents. Apparently, unlike other government agencies, DOGE doesn’t need to comply with federal records requests.
