Anybody considering changing your bank account number if you've ever paid or received money from the IRS via ACH or direct deposit? Do you just call the bank and request it? It'd be a huge hassle because I have other things set up via ACH and DD, but I'm curious what others are doing.

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.

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.
