I am a proud supporter of my senator, @chrismurphyct.bsky.social but he is NOT talking ENOUGH about the abhorrent, disgraceful, unlawful ICE raids. Every day, thugs cosplaying cops & military are terrorizing ppl in the US, terrorizing families, innocent civilians, & causing irreparable harm.

Democrat orgs asking for money every minute of the day, but haven't proven effective or have a coherent plan. Pretty unmotivated to give w/o a strategy.

We are grieving a devastating loss. Taylor was one of the best people I know. Always inviting us to things & always on a bike w/ his 3yo son in tow. A true friend & advocate. Months of excited anticipation awaiting baby Parry’s arrival. I’m so glad I caught his laughs on camera our last hangout.

Met with the community advisory board for the project I designed for better resource materials for medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder at the Yale emergency departments. Love the enthusiasm for adapt4change.org - next steps are to expand the resource list. #harmreduction

But the media and the chattering class will focus on it for a few days and Trump will have succeeded in distracting everyone from the real story - the billionaires seizing government to steal from regular people.

I'm posting a lot about this, but the threat to American security is huge. DOGE is working with no oversight, no security clearances, no specific goals, breaking decades of security protocol - and what is stopping Musk from selling US data and preventing the data from leaking to foreign interests?

The breach extends further, giving Musk’s associates access to systems related to employee onboarding, job performance reviews, and healthcare management. This raises serious concerns about potential violations of federal privacy laws, including those protecting health information under HIPAA.

In addition to USAJOBS, Musk’s team has accessed the Enterprise Human Resources Integration (EHRI) system. This system contains comprehensive records on federal employees, including Social Security numbers, birthdates, salaries, job descriptions, and disciplinary actions.

This is not okay
Elon Musk’s staffers have gained unauthorized access to sensitive government employee data by installing a server at the OPM. They now have access to USAJOBS, the federal hiring portal where applicants submit personal details such as Social Security numbers, home addresses, and employment histories.

Thank goodness for @chrismurphyct.bsky.social - I have never been more worried about our national security and he sees the DOGE actions as I do. What is Musk planning to do with the data?! Where is the oversight?! Once the data is out, it’s OUT. No Ctrl+Z. This situation is bigger than tariffs.
These people are trying to destroy U.S. power is the world with wildly unhinged allegations and you have to ask why this benefits them? What will China or Russia give Musk and Trump if we hand the world to them?
