A lawsuit filed Monday seeks to halt the ‘unlawful disclosure of information,’ including Treasury data on Americans’ taxes and Social Security, to DOGE staff. This week, President Trump adviser Elon Musk’s newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) seems to have gained full access to the Department of Treasury’s payments systems responsible for processing trillions of dollars of spending,

Elon Musk's department now has control over government-provided benefits, including Social Security, Medicare, SNAP, unemployment and more.
