"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring (1954)

Do former DOGE employees have the type of access to SSA’s database that wld allow them to make changes? I ask bc there seems to be no transparency, & Trump & Musk now want states to purge voters from the rolls by using the “SAVE” system to compare data in the rolls to the data in SSA’s database. 1/
For nearly a year, the administration has said that DOGE had no unauthorized access to your Social Security data. A new government filing admits that was false.

I’m beginning to think that MAGA hopes to use a talking filibuster to pressure members of their OWN party into nuking the filibuster or changing the filibuster to a lower vote threshold that they think they can meet, allowing them to pass their voter suppression bill, the Save America Act. Thoughts?
