US Supreme Court grants DOGE access to sensitive Social Security data
Briefly

The United States Supreme Court has ruled in favor of President Trump's administration in two significant cases regarding data privacy and transparency. The rulings granted the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) broader access to data from the Social Security Administration, overturning earlier limitations, and upheld that DOGE is not obligated to comply with the Freedom of Information Act, limiting public access to government records. These decisions reflect DOGE's ambitious goals of reducing bureaucratic inefficiencies, which have been marked by significant organizational changes, such as mass layoffs and the restructuring of federal agencies, although they have drawn scrutiny and debate.
The Supreme Court's conservative majority ruled in favor of Trump's Department of Government Efficiency, allowing broader access to SSA data and limiting FOIA disclosures.
