OPM is also the agency that processes all security clearance investigations. So Musk has access to the products of very thorough FBI investigations on everyone with a clearance, detailed dossiers of their personal lives. This is a serious breach of security and to me has the feeling of a coup or foreign adversary attack
I've emailed Hawley and Schmitt, as well as Sam Graves,for all the good it will do. They fully support everything OLD orange FFOTUS has done and says. I keep getting back their generic,blanket responses in full support of him. I'm so frustrated,but not giving up. I will keep pestering them everytime I read something else corrupt occurring.
Why isn’t Musk being Arrested? Isn’t that hacking and stealing the United States information? He is not an elected official and he isn’t even a citizen of the USA doesn’t that fall under fraud of our government? Common something has to be done to stop this corruption!
Why weren’t these Musk funded agents of espionage denied access to the OPM? How were they allowed to enter these departments unopposed to begin breaching these very sensitive databases? Letting these people have access the OPM and Treasury Department databases just because Musk sent them in to do so is just so confusing to me. Please tell me I’m reading this wrong and there was some legal method for which access was approved.
Having access to our bank accounts is reminiscent of the opening of the Handmaid's Tale when women are forced out of workplaces and their bank accounts are frozen which renders all women dependent on men. Republicans are currently pressuring Costco - a private company - to eliminate their DEI program and get rid of all women and men of color from their company. The GOP is trying to force their dystopian Christian Nationalist nightmare down our throats and we have to view any of their actions as potential components of this. The inability to stop any of these obviously illegal acts - and the complicity of so many - is gobsmacking.
Is any of this data he and his assistants (who are they?) are accessing things that require a specific level of security clearance to access? If so, what is the recourse for removal of their acess and redress for those so exposed?
Someone posted this video in my feed on Bluesky today. It’s not the Chinese we have to worry about. This mess we’re seeing is all homegrown with one outstanding exception.
I will write my GOP senators and representative. As far as I know, this is a completely illegal activity unfortunately the GOP Congress no longer cares about illegality. They let Trump piss all over them with his illegal actions.
With most everything being direct deposit now, is my banking information going to be compromised. Tax refund direct deposit, Social Security direct deposit, etc. We should all worry about what information Musk has access to and what he may do with it.
I wonder not that they could withhold deposits, but that they could clean out the accounts of anyone they want to punish.
To me it’s well past time for letters and calls. And I don’t think street protests are all that effective. Too easy for saboteurs to mingle and provoke the police to attack.
Really, the ones responsible to act are the ones to whom this nation has entrusted the power to enforce the law, those sworn to defend the Constitution “from all enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC.” So I ask, where are they? They have the tools and training.
And to be clear, by “tools” I don’t mean restraining orders on paper.
Musk feels like the emperor of the world, free to do as he pleases, with no interference. He better don’t cross Putin though, while thinking about his own imaginary and absolute superiority . It could be a deadly mistake.
It truly is getting out of hand.Many young people stated yesterday that they don’t feel safe anymore in this country.They feel somehow lost in this insanity but they are ready to fight this regime.
We need individuals like you to organize and lead an opposition, mass protest or whatever necessary We need to do it now!
I’m ready to help anyway I can.
My personal data is also compromised in those government records.
Musk made a twitter statement late last year that an airplane crash might help to finally eliminate DEI. Weird?
Do not assume everyone knows how to write to OpEds. Spell it out. Instead of only asking for donations to make this work, let everyone else that wants to fight back to preserve our Democracy a way to do so, to take part!! Especially those on fixed incomes have reached or even surpassed their financial income to have their voices heard or messages read. Share this message until someone hears, till someone takes that sort of action!
My identity was stolen by the Chinese military in 2014 when they got my security clearance -- got everything, financial info, medical records, my FBI background checks etc.
The default of SSA Trust Funds is supposed to apex in 2033 due to the increase of birth rates of baby boomers. After 2033, birth rates of later generations flatten and the funds can be solvent.
Social Security is the greatest anti-poverty program in US history. Social Security protects workers, widow(er)s, orphanabouts and disabled people and is a major investment for many of us. Donations can flatten the default curve, extending the apex.
Why doesn't SSA advertise that donations can flatten the curve and extend the default date beyond 2033?
I sent it to this white house and DOGE but they bounced. Rick Scott, my senator, is privatizer in chief, but I sent it to him . We have a new senator, and I sent it to her. I posted this many times. I've been at this a long time. I couldn't bring this up when I worked at SSA -- so when I went to DOL about 2000 I started interviewing SSA economists. I wrote to every administration since then. Once upon a time I had a dog and pony show. 3 commissioners from both parties thanked me for advocating the charity issue, but SSA has never publicized it. Most of the big donors use foundations as an identify vehicle, and although they get a dollar for dollar deduction, are ignorant about it or don't give a shit if the trust fund defaults. Musk, the richest man in the world could save the fund via a charitable tax deduction himself.

I will contact my state legislators as well even though one is Josh Hawley.
Frankly, the state of Missouri government is just as corrupt as the federal government in its own “good ole boy” way.

Maybe you could answer my question:
Why isn’t Musk being Arrested? Isn’t that hacking and stealing the United States information? He is not an elected official and he isn’t even a citizen of the USA doesn’t that fall under fraud of our government? Common something has to be done to stop this corruption!
It's a great question. The DOJ works for Trump now. They aren't interested.
Who’s gonna arrest him? The Feds are under Trump’s control.

They gave it to him.

I cannot tell you how worried fellow government employees and I are. This breach is unconscionable.

Fred is right. Get busy people!
I will write my GOP senators and representative. As far as I know, this is a completely illegal activity unfortunately the GOP Congress no longer cares about illegality. They let Trump piss all over them with his illegal actions.
Call them daily. I’m told they ignore email. They care about the calls.
Done. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mL0crkf5Dzw&ab_channel=BernieSanders

What would Democratic Senators do without "strongly worded letters"....
Is there a legal basis to sue the DOJ for not acting against the dogistas? Is not the planning before the inauguration criminal conspiracy?

We have a 2nd Amendment -- it may need to be used sooner than we think. If Trump won't stop and Congress does nothing, it really is the only option.
Thanks Fred.

My wife and I are federal retirees....
I've been wondering why Musk is sleeping (literally} in the White House. Did Trump admit Musk won Pennsylvania through chicanery? If DOGE wants to save money, they should include Al Gore, the father of "reinventing government" and Sen Lizzy Warren, who knows more than anyone in the Trump administration. https://www.warren.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/letter_to_doge_rerecommendationstosave2trillionoverthenext10years.pdf
