"In addition to compiling established DOGE grievances, Peters' report also asserts that leadership at the aforementioned agencies is actively stymying attempts to figure out what DOGE is doing. "DOGE isn't making government more efficient-it's putting Americans' sensitive information in the hands of completely unqualified and untrustworthy individuals," Peters said in a press release. "The Trump Administration and agency leadership must immediately put a stop to these reckless actions that risk causing unprecedented chaos in Americans' daily lives.""
"Per the report, officials at the SSA, OPM, and GSA were "unable or unwilling" to answer a fundamental question about DOGE's authority, namely who at their agencies is in charge of significant policy changes. DOGE is supposed to serve as nothing but a presidential advisory body, the report explains, but is still involved in making significant changes to data and systems at various agencies."
A Senate investigation concludes DOGE is acting without legal authority or oversight. DOGE is a cost-cutting unit created by a presidential executive order and has engaged with the Social Security Administration (SSA), Office of Personnel Management (OPM), and General Services Administration (GSA). Whistleblower accounts and agency information indicate DOGE teams accessed data and systems and participated in significant policy changes despite being designated as an advisory body. Officials at SSA, OPM, and GSA were unable or unwilling to identify who oversees DOGE activity or what data access was granted. GSA and OPM denied the existence of DOGE teams, and agency leadership reportedly impeded inquiries.
