Breitbart: Judge Temporarily Limits DOGE's Access to SSA Data
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, faces new restrictions on its access to Social Security data following a ruling by U.S. District Judge Ellen Hollander. The decision stems from concerns raised by labor unions and retirees regarding privacy violations and security risks.
Judge Hollander acknowledged the importance of uncovering government waste but criticized DOGE's methods, emphasizing the long-standing expectation of privacy in Social Security records. While DOGE claims to have saved taxpayers $150 billion, the ruling requires its employees to undergo training and background checks for access to anonymized data.

California Governor Gavin Newsom is proposing to cut $375 million from the state university system and $68 million from wildfire prevention while simultaneously increasing tax credits for Hollywood from $350 million to $750 million. This move has drawn criticism, as it prioritizes entertainment industry subsidies over essential public services.
Critics argue that these tax incentives do not yield sufficient job creation relative to their cost and primarily benefit special interests. The entertainment industry, including figures like Ben Affleck, continues to demand more taxpayer money, raising concerns about whether struggling Californians should subsidize Hollywood's profits.
