There should be bipartisan concern about the reports that DOGE is merging HHS, Social Security, and IRS data into one database.
That is the trifecta of personal information, and any competent person (or machine) could essentially put together a complete profile of your life.

Trump’s entire worldview is shaped by right-wing media. Musk’s is shaped by reactionary online spaces. But it’s not just what they see online. They’re also surrounded by real people - advisors, allies, and influencers - who exist in the same disordered ecosystem.
