WASHINGTON – Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said Elon Musk’s DOGE “unlawful power grab” in accessing the Treasury payment system is putting Americans’ most private Social Security and taxpayer information at risk.

“Donald Trump basically handed DOGE the Social Security data of virtually every American citizen,” Schumer said.
“Trump gave DOGE access to America’s “personal tax refund data. He gave DOGE access to people’s Medicare and Medicaid benefits, disability payment data, veterans benefit data,” he said.
Schumer said, “Worst of all, we don’t know what DOGE intends to do with this.”
Schumer is calling on the Treasury Secretary to revoke the Musk team’s access to the Treasury department’s payment system.
“We must halt this unlawful and dangerous power grab,” Schumer said.

I admit, although I voted for Trump, I thought he’d lose, and even if he’s win, he would do zero with the power he’d have, like his first term. I am very, very pleasantly surprised with the sledgehammer he’s taken to the corruption in DC, at so many levels. Schumer squealing about DOGE is music to normal people’s ears.
Schumer is having a meltdown so Trump must be doing something right.
Wow, their tax money grift is in jeopardy! Quick, somebody start a race riot!
Hay Chuki it didn’t concern you very much when Hillary kept her laptop non secured so are enemies could get info , you Hippocrite Kapo
Chucky Shmucky Schumer needs to sit down and shut up. His court Jewing days are numbered. So tired of this guy…
Schumer is worried about lining his pockets with taxpayers monies
Schumer is just a peice of garbage. He only cares about knocking the Republican party..
Schumer is so excited to attack Trump, that he has press conferences and speeches against Trump about the price of avocados and beer (which incidentally most Americans do not drink Canadian corona beer) that the Canadians and Mexicans backed off and the tarrifs didn’t go into effect
A few times Schumer already looked like a fool talking to quickly. Hopefully this will be schumer’s downfall, finally.
Wow if this lowlife Kapo is that angry then Trump is doing a great job.
Look at that picture — it’s like a Mensa meeting!
