Someone walked out of Social Security with your identity on a thumb drive.

A whistleblower says a former DOGE employee left the Social Security Administration with records on more than 500 million living and dead Americans, the kind of information that defines a person, like race, citizenship, and your mother's maiden name. He wanted to upload it to a private company's systems and told colleagues he expected a presidential pardon if caught.

The SSA's former chief data officer said there could be one copy or a million, and we will never know. None of this information can be changed the way a credit card number can, and once it's copied, no investigation and no election puts it back. Call your senators and your representative today and demand an immediate congressional investigation into who was given access, where the data went, and what happens next.

Damn it, thanks for the reminder. I saw it earlier, but I started today with a 26 story load, cut 2, and totally spaced that one. Tomorrow for sure.

#3- wow, Iran has the opportunity to do the funniest thing in Qatar

Iran's getting the hang of this asymmetrical war and soft targets, and before any roasts me, the once-president of Venezuela has been sitting in a NY jail cell for 10 weeks.

I don't want a Congressional investigation, I want their head on a fucking stick. While it was probably always true (SSNs are a terribly insecure system), every single American is now living with a noose around their neck, tied directly to their identity being at stake from criminal and corporate interests. This is such a breach of security and decorum that in any other administration to date (fuck, probably even his last one) this would be career ending for everyone involved.

Thanks for your work, George. I get exhausted just looking at the headlines and reading the occasional article you link here, I can't imagine what it's like putting it all together.

It's a task. I've always closely followed the news, but it's ramped my knowledge of what's happening a whole lot. That said, I would like to return to the days of not caring what the Secretary of the Interior's schedule looks like.

How does someone steal SSN info on 500 million Americans when the population is only around 350 million?

living and dead

That's it exactly. They have the whole numident file and death master. Now those files are often used by genealogists, but on one-offs, and you have to send a special request for the first one.

#4 feels like a false flag sort of incident. Some sort of excuse to resort to troops or something. Carzy? Is anything crazy now, just when we think "That wont happen!" Said incident will happen. As a Canadian, we are sour to the American administrations antics, but not completely crazy enough to start shooting up consulates. We dont like russia either, but no one is shooting them up.

There are crazy people everywhere, sadly. You don't get that close to a Poilievre sweep without a few loose nuts.

1 month ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

That won't bring us close to a PP-le-poo sweep...god I'd hope not. His numbers are so shit right now he's almost at the bottom, where he belongs. It's probably those diagalon fucks trying to stir shit up...and quite honestly, we need to get rid of any American diplomats (Huckster for example) or Russian diplomats anyway...they are all shit.

Aye, but if it weren't for Trump's dementia fueled lunacy in year 1, Poilievre would have sailed through with a majority... The masses are a fickle lot, and are clearly not the smartest. Whether it is in the US, Canada, France, Italy, the UK, Poland or Germany doesn't make much of a difference.

May the Spaniards save us all.

Next time someone tells me "Trump has done some good things" I'll be sure to bring this up...it's the only time anything good came out of his shitfuckery. :-) lol (it) Should set fire to the pants of many a blue conservative friend and neighbour.
