Elon Musk and his other unelected, unconfirmed cronies in the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) seized full and unprecedented access to the federal Treasury\u2019s payment system. Let\u2019s be clear: this is not only unprecedented - it\u2019s illegal and unconstitutional.<\/p>

This means they now have access to sensitive data like your tax records and social security number \u2013 and could withhold or slash Congressionally approved government spending however they like. Tens of thousands of normal Treasury payment system functions like paying federal employees\u2019 salaries, distributing tax refunds, and funding grant recipients are now in jeopardy. <\/p>

And, hundreds of millions of Americans rely on critical government programs like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Meals on Wheels, and Head Start \u2013 whose fates are now left to the whims of Elon Musk\u2019s ploys to steal from everyday Americans and fill his own pockets. <\/p>

<\/span><\/div>
