The acting head of the Social Security Administration admitted that he doesn’t know exactly what the “DOGE kids” have been doing with Americans’ sensitive data, according to a bombshell audio recording.
An hour-long meeting last week led by the department’s acting commissioner, Leland Dudek, was captured on an audio recording shared with ProPublica, where he repeatedly referred to young staffers at the Department of Government Efficiency as the “DOGE kids,” and confirmed they had “broad access” to Social Security numbers and personal data.
Addressing what DOGE staffers had been doing with Social Security data, Dudek reportedly asked at one point in the meeting: “Are we going to break something? I don’t know.” But he added that he “actually like[s] having the kids around” despite them being unfamiliar with the “nuances” of the department. “They’re learning. Let people learn. They’re going to make mistakes,” Dudek reportedly said. “They’re thinking about work differently.”
One of his deputies in the meeting added it was a “victory” that there was not more misinformation because the DOGE staffers “are being educated.” In a bid to reassure employees, Dudek reportedly said that if Elon Musk’s techies did anything illegal with Americans’ Social Security numbers or data, he would investigate and have them “potentially prosecuted.”

If you can't trust 19 year old hackers to do an accountant-less audit with no transparency whatsoever, then you're too woke and DEI and should be deported.
Yep, pretty suspicious that they can't even tell the Trump appointed administrator what they are doing. The "move fast and break things" DOGE are breaking lots of things that Americans count on. It could be intentional with malicious intent. Social Security Administration has data on everyone. SSN is the standard way of proving one's identity in the US. Think about how much financial and other records are tied to your SSN. 
Because the people who WOULD arrest them are controlled by Pam Bondi? 
and maddening. 
Something is rotten in DC.
