It is wonderful that DODE is cleaing up the fraud. It is long overdue. There are millions that get Social Security that do not quality, including dead people, duplicate payments, illegal aliens, fraud rings, and theft by family members where the original receipant is deceased. Elon doesn’t want your information GET RID OF THE FRAUD. SAVE AMERICANS MONEY.

DOGE employees have no right to go rifling through the private records of Social Security recipients. As far as I can tell this far oversteps my right as a citizen of these United States to maintain the privacy of my financial, health and retirement records.

I am grateful there are Americans with higher vision for their country surpassing mere existance, with an elevated conscience, and the fearlessness to do what is Right!
The glory goes to God

I was denied a personal conference
A clear civil rights violation. Please advise.

Can you make the workers answer the phones at The Foreign Affairs office, please.
It usually takes 2 days. My last time took almost 3 months, thank you.

I do not find this statement to be reassuring at all. DOGE should not even have read access to our personal information at all, especially SS numbers, our benefits and our work history. A group of people that are non-governmental, not elected, without security clearance and no government auditing experience should never have been given any access to our personal information at all, not even “read” access. This is a huge breach of personal identity information and if anyone else had done this they would have been imprisoned. Who is going to guarantee and insure our personal information from identity theft now and into the future. This administration and DOGE needs to stop spreading lies and destroying lives.

I appreciate your commitment to be open and transparent. If all systems are working as they should, no one should have a problem with being audited. I work for local gov’t and we undergo an audit each year by an independent auditor. We are expected to produce every document requested, no exceptions, including personnel tax records, direct deposit info., etc.

I do NOT believe a word you say.

I’d love to meet the person who is 365 years old.

While the text seems reassuring, with the Administration everything is up for the Executive Order pen, seemingly the mainstay of the Administration at least in these early days. Of a specific nature, I am concerned the WEP and GPO repeal may be up for review or at the very least delayed for the millions (of us!) awaiting the follow-through.
