"BOMBSHELL NEW UPDATE: "THE INSIDE JOB: It just got worse for Elon Musk." CREDIBILITY: DESTROYED."
On January 20, 2025, Trump signed an executive order giving Elon Musk's DOGE "full and prompt access" to every federal agency's systems. Unelected and never Senate-confirmed, Musk sent in young staffers. Edward Coristine, 19 — self-styled "Big Balls" on LinkedIn — was fired from a cybersecurity internship for leaking company data. Marko Elez, 25, received read-write access to the Treasury's payment system; the Treasury later admitted in court it was granted "inadvertently." He resigned after racist posts ("normalize Indian hate") surfaced; Musk rehired him, and Trump endorsed it.
They accessed the Bureau of the Fiscal Service, which moves $6 trillion a year — 88% of all federal payments, including Social Security checks, Medicare, tax refunds, and veterans' benefits. Systems held names, Social Security numbers, birth dates, birthplaces, addresses, phones, emails, and bank details. A federal judge listed every item.
Laws violated include the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. § 552a), barring disclosure of records without written consent; 26 U.S.C. § 6103, making unauthorized taxpayer data disclosure a felony (up to 5 years); 18 U.S.C. § 1030, criminalizing unauthorized access to government computers; and the Appointments Clause (Article II, Section 2), requiring Senate confirmation for such power. Musk was never confirmed.
Connecticut's Attorney General called it "the largest data breach in U.S. history." Nineteen states sued. A federal judge called DOGE's operation "chaotic and haphazard" and ordered all copies destroyed. The Supreme Court allowed continued access to Social Security records 6-3, including medical and family court files.
In January 2026, the DOJ admitted DOGE moved sensitive Social Security data to unauthorized Cloudflare servers; the agency cannot determine what was shared or if it remains. Whistleblower Charles Borges, SSA's chief data officer, was forced to resign: 300 million Americans' records exposed — "a generational problem" and "national security risk." Unchangeable data like mother's maiden name and birthplace means permanent exposure.
The "fraud hunt" was cover; the GAO found solid evidence for only 4% of claimed savings. The same week DOGE began, Trump fired 17 inspectors general — five investigating Musk's companies.
The Labor IG had 17 open Tesla and SpaceX cases; the Agriculture IG was escorted out while probing Neuralink monkey deaths. SpaceX defense contracts then tripled to $5.9 billion. Musk co-leads the Pentagon's weapons-buying study while holding $6.4 billion in Pentagon contracts. He gutted the CFPB — which polices digital payments — while building a payments business on X.
Trump signed the order, gave Musk a White House office, endorsed the rehire, and his administration fought every lawsuit to the Supreme Court, securing the right to keep the data.
Congress must investigate with subpoenas and hearings. Democrats must not let this die. An unelected billionaire's team obtained 300 million Americans' Social Security numbers, and the sitting president held the door open.

I think the guy flipping burgers at McDonald’s should be able to afford rent, bills, and groceries with his paycheck alone. That’s kind of the whole point of having a job and I can’t believe this is considered a radical position for me to take.

President Trump wants to soften one of the strongest legal protections American workers have: the right to hold an employer accountable when retirement savings are mishandled.

The Trump administration wants to soften one of the strongest legal protections American workers have over their retirement. Here's what you should know.
What most people already understand, even without the economic terminology, is that firms like BlackRock operate less like investors and more like modern feudal landlords.
They buy essential infrastructure,water networks, ports, energy grids, data centres, and other public necessities, often using vast amounts of borrowed money and paying prices that ordinary market participants cannot match.
Once the acquisition is complete, the debt is pushed onto the acquired company itself.
The result is simple: the public pays.
Consumers repay that debt through higher water bills, rising energy prices, increased fees, and declining service quality.
The infrastructure becomes a cash-extraction machine.
Profits flow upward to shareholders and executives, while the financial burden flows downward to ordinary households.
When the model inevitably breaks down, the consequences are socialised. Communities are left with crumbling infrastructure, polluted rivers and failing services.
Thames Water's £14 billion debt mountain and repeated sewage scandals are a stark example of what happens when financial engineering takes precedence over public stewardship.
The executives who loaded the company with debt have already collected their bonuses.
The investors have already taken their returns.
And when the system finally reaches its breaking point, taxpayers are expected to pick up the bill.
Privatise the gains.
Socialise the losses.
That is the business model......

Reality check:
It's very strange to me that otherwise sensible people think that AI companies will simply start sending out weekly checks to all 8 billion people in the world, within a few years.
Any company CEO or Board that did this would be violating their fiduciary duties to investors, and would quickly be replaced by leadership that doesn't betray its investors.
There is no plausible world in which AI companies will distribute most of their revenue to the rest of humanity, unless they are coerced to do so.
And who exactly would be in a position to coerce them, if they run everything?

Vivek Ramaswamy registered as an attorney in New York and as a voter in Ohio at different addresses, which would mean he either violated New York State Bar registration laws or Ohio voter registration laws.

99% of women and girls in Somalia have been mutilated in the following way: the clitoris is cut off, along with the inner labia. Then the inner flesh of the outer labia is removed before both sides are sewn tightly together, leaving a hole no bigger than a matchstick for urine and menses to trickle through.
All of this is done in childhood, and without any form of anesthesia whatsoever. Sometimes the little girl is given a scrap of leather or a stick to bite down on. The cutters use old razor blades, or sometimes a piece of broken glass.
This is only the beginning of a girl’s pain.
Most wedding nights in Somalia are aided by “the little knife” — that is, the new husband slices his bride open so that he can penetrate her now cut and bleeding scar tissue. Some men, however, simply batter their way through, tearing that tiny hole open by sheer force. When a woman goes into labor, she’s cut open more widely, then sewn back up afterwards so that when sex resumes she will have to be cut open yet again.
This practice leads to countless deaths from infection and a drastic increase in maternal mortality, but Somali men still refuse to marry uncut women, forcing mothers to have their daughters cut or face social stigma. Uncut girls are seen as dirty; the term for clitoris is a playground taunt in Somalia, and girls who are not cut are usually ostracized by their peers.
The Somali government recently debated the legality of this appalling custom, and the parliament largely split along gender lines. Female MPs roundly condemned FGM, while male MPs insisted that having a clitoris made a woman more difficult to penetrate, and quoted the hadith in which Muhammad condoned the practice. These are educated men who nevertheless claim that cutting a girl is necessary in order to control her sexuality, and that an uncut woman will be promiscuous and untrustworthy.
In spite of the Somali government’s continued support for FGM, foreign aid continues to flow into Somalia unobstructed. The West should refuse to give the Somali government so much as a single dollar until they outlaw FGM and take positive steps to combat the problem.
One tactic that has been highly successful involves showing Somali men a video of a girl being mutilated. Because FGM is seen as women’s business, most men have no idea what it entails. Men who watch this video are horrified, and the most common reaction has been “Not my daughter!” This proves that FGM is not hopelessly entrenched in Somali culture. Western pressure and resources could make an enormous difference in the lives of Somali women and girls, and put a stop to this barbaric practice.

A brief review of recent technical “errors” at Meta:
1. Restricting the Facebook pages of Brazilian president Lula who is in a runoff election against a Trump-favored candidate
2. Shutting down the pages of Albanians protesting Jared Kushner’s plans to build a luxury resort in the country
3. Rejecting ads for a documentary critical of Elon Musk
4. Shutting down the No Kings instagram page in the middle of a major anti-Trump protest

Trump is using the presidency to cheat on his taxes out in the open now. He’s trying to ovoid paying IRS the $500 million he owes in tax by declaring his golf course as a tax write off in a mob like move. The criminal is committing crimes out in the open brazenly, and we watch. 🤬 rawstory.com/trump-improper-…
