After two court losses, DOGE asks Supreme Court for Social Security data access
Briefly

The Trump administration is appealing to the Supreme Court to restore access for DOGE to Social Security Administration records, arguing that a lower court's order is hindering efforts to reduce waste and fraud. US Solicitor General John Sauer contended that preventing DOGE from accessing necessary records impedes the government's ability to perform its mission effectively. The appeal follows a ruling by Judge Ellen Lipton Hollander that criticized DOGE for its approach and mandated it to delete sensitive information. The Supreme Court's decision could significantly influence the executive branch's operations.
The government cannot eliminate waste and fraud if district courts bar the very agency personnel with expertise... from performing their jobs.
The Executive Branch's critically important efforts to improve its information-technology infrastructure and eliminate waste are being halted.
