The situation with DOGE operatives accessing sensitive data from the Social Security Administration is deeply concerning. Unvetted individuals lacking proper expertise and security clearances have been granted broad access to databases containing personal and financial information on millions of Americans. This reckless behavior jeopardizes the integrity of critical government systems and puts vulnerable populations at risk of identity theft, financial fraud, and disruptions to their benefit payments. We urgently request that the DOGE personnel be immediately removed from the Social Security Administration. Their unprecedented level of system access, combined with the departure of experienced staff, creates an unacceptable risk of catastrophic failure or misuse of private data. Restoring the agency's normal operations under qualified leadership is essential to protect Americans' private information and ensure the reliable distribution of Social Security benefits they have earned and depend upon. Prompt action is needed to safeguard this vital social safety net program from further interference and chaos caused by DOGE's careless overreach. The American people's personal data and promised benefits must be secured against exploitation by unqualified private actors pursuing an ideological agenda disconnected from reality. Removing DOGE preserves the Social Security Administration's ability to continue its critical public service mission effectively and responsibly.
