The Social Security Administration (per DOGE) instituted anti-fraud checks for benefit claims made over the phone.
Only two out of over 110,000 claims had a high probability of fraud — a rate of .0018%

Creative protests & resistance to fascism are happening everywhere. Keep standing up, even in the reddest states. It matters that others see your courage.

Hi, I'm the guy who used to oversee the federal government's agency IT telecommunications contracts. This is extremely bad. There is absolutely no need for this. Not only is it a huge security exposure, but the simplest explanation for this is that it is meant to be a security exposure.

Extraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer.
