According to a protected disclosure filed with the Office of Special Counsel, Borges told the Government Accountability Project that DOGE officials working at Social Security created a “live copy” of the country’s Social Security records in a separate cloud environment that sidestepped usual security checks.

The group says those lapses put the Social Security information of more than 300 million Americans at risk.

This is how Americans are going to lose their right to vote. The process will be "slow" for specific states and regions, just long enough to miss the midterms.

    Y'all won your right to vote once, you can do it again.

    Yep - I've already been bugging my grandma to get a passport so that she will be able to vote if SAVE act passes (she changed her name when she married, but doesn't have a passport since she's never left the country). Gotta avoid doomerism and make the fascists fight for every inch we can.
