Judge blocks Trump admin’s database of Americans’ Social Security numbers and citizenship status - POLITICO

A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from creating a database of millions of Americans’ private information — including Social Security numbers and citizenship status — saying the administration has fed knowingly inaccurate data to states that are now “actively” and “haphazardly” purging purported non-citizens from voter rolls.

“The federal government has knowingly trampled on the privacy rights of American citizens in a manner that threatens the sacred right to vote,” U.S. District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan wrote in a 75-page ruling. “This Court cannot stand idly by while that happens.”…

The longer wait times come after the Trump administration laid off more than 7,000 employees at the Social Security Administration, which the report said has led to devastating cuts to service for beneficiaries.

“The results of these cuts have been catastrophic – driving up wait times for phone services and in-person field office appointments,” the report said. “Some rural field offices have reportedly been left with such limited capacity that [they] are effectively closed – unable to carry out the in-person services millions of older Americans and people with disabilities rely on.”…

Trump Administration Drops Plan to Cut Social Security Disability Benefits for Older Workers — ProPublica

It was a startling announcement from an often uncompromising senior official in an administration with little history of changing its mind in response to journalistic scrutiny and pressure from advocates for the vulnerable. But that's what Turkish and three other sources say has happened: The Trump administration has decided not to pursue the disability cuts that it has been working on all year — and in fact since at least 2019, when officials during Trump's first term were close to finalizing a similar regulation...

The complaint from Charles Borges, the chief data officer at the SSA, alleges that Doge staffers effectively created a live copy of the entire country's social security data from its numerical identification system database.

"These actions constitute violations of laws, rules, and regulations, abuse of authority, gross mismanagement, and creation of a substantial and specific threat to public health and safety," the complaint states...
