DOGE has your social security number

Trump's rogue "DOGE" agency just handed cybercriminals a big time gift.

SIGN NOW: DOGE has your Social Security number. [1] Defund DOGE and protect Social Security from Trump's destructive agenda >> SIGN THE PETITION Pamela, Trump's rogue "DOGE" agency just handed cybercriminals a big time gift: dumping every American's most private information – including every Social Security number – into an unsecured system. [2] That's right: your Social Security number, your personal data, your future benefits – all potentially exposed in one reckless move. It's a hacker's best dream: opening the door to mass identity theft, jeopardizing access to healthcare and food benefits, and potentially forcing the government to give every American a new Social Security number. [3] A whistleblower inside the Social Security Administration says he's been sounding the alarm for weeks – but Trump officials looked the other way and let DOGE run wild. [4] We have to stop Trump and his cronies now – before they do irreversible damage to Social Security. If you agree, add your name today >> SIGN THE PETITION Pamela, this is what happens when we hand our government over to con men and random DOGE bros. Elon Musk may have had his inevitable falling out with Trump… but there's over 70 Elon cronies across government agencies with way more power than they deserve. [5] By undermining the security of our records, they're making it easier to delay, deny, or even strip away benefits millions of Americans rely on. It's another way to weaken trust in Social Security so they can dismantle it piece by piece. The truth is, Social Security is the most effective anti-poverty program in the country – and without it, nearly 4 in 10 seniors would live in poverty and struggle to make ends meet. [6] But one thing it doesn't do is make billionaires like Trump and Musk richer – which is why they're attacking it. Trump has been smearing Social Security with easily debunked lies for months to justify dismantling it. [7 He and DOGE are gutting its workforce [8], forcing offices and call centers to close around the country [9], and even talking about handing our Social Security over to Wall Street bankers. [10] That means we'll have to wait longer, travel farther, and fight harder just to access the benefits we've earned. Here's the bottom line: if our members of Congress keep rubber stamping Trump's anti-Social Security agenda, then Trump and his billionaire friends – who've hoped for years to get rid of anything that doesn't make them richer – will use that foot in the door to unravel our entire safety net. We must act now. If you agree we must defend Social Security from these attacks, and DOGE must be defunded, add your name today >> Thanks for all you do, The team at Common Cause [1] https://ash.harvard.edu/resources/understanding-doge-and-your-data/ [2] https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/us/politics/doge-social-security-data.html [3] https://whistleblower.org/press-release/whistleblower-warns-of-possible-risks-to-americans-social-security-information/ [4] https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/us/politics/doge-social-security-data.html [5] https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/02/27/us/politics/doge-staff-list.html [6] https://www.cbpp.org/research/social-security/social-security-lifts-more-people-above-the-poverty-line-than-any-other [7] https://apnews.com/article/social-security-payments-deceased-false-claims-doge-ed2885f5769f368853ac3615b4852cf7 [8] https://www.reuters.com/world/us/social-security-may-lose-thousands-more-staff-under-new-trump-rule-2025-04-25/ [9] https://apnews.com/article/social-security-offices-closures-doge-trump-b2b1a5b2ba4fb968abc3379bf90715ff [10] https://www.cnn.com/2025/07/30/politics/social-security-privatization-scott-bessent Common Cause is a leader in fights that matter at the local, state, and national level.
