SSA Official Resigns After Whistleblower Complaint Over DOGE Database

The agency has repeatedly faced controversy over DOGE’s access to SSA systems, which [whistleblower Charles] Borges noted houses the “most sensitive data” in the federal government. Multiple groups sued SSA and its leaders for permitting DOGE’s access to the agency’s systems earlier this year. A judge issued a temporary restraining order and injunction that was extended to early June, but the Supreme Court ultimately sided with DOGE, granting the efficiency unit [sic] access to SSA’s records.
