Democrat lawmakers are increasingly questioning the level of access that the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has to Americans' sensitive personal data. Amidst President Trump's push to streamline operations, DOGE's young employees reportedly have significant access to federal data systems. Since February, Democrats have sent multiple inquiries to federal agencies and watchdogs about DOGE's data practices. They specifically raise alarms about security implications of this access, expressing fears that vulnerabilities may compromise both national security and individual privacy. Their bipartisan efforts aim to establish safeguards for protecting Americans’ information.
The recklessness and contempt with which DOGE personnel are rampaging through the federal government threatens a wide range of security interests, privacy controls, and government services.
Democratic leaders on the House Science, Space and Technology Committee expressed deep concerns about DOGE's access to sensitive agency systems, highlighting serious national security and privacy implications.
