Isn't that the plan? Go in with a sledgehammer & by the time the challenges go through the courts, the damage is already done.

From Common Dream, a list of the data they supposedly wanted access to or already have? It's exhaustive personal info!!

In her 137-page opinion, Hollander explained that "to facilitate the expedition, SSA provided members of the SSA DOGE team with unbridled access to the personal and private data of millions of Americans, including but not limited to Social Security numbers, medical records, mental health records, hospitalization records, drivers' license numbers, bank and credit card information, tax information, income history, work history, birth and marriage certificates, and home and work addresses."


It sounds like they already have access to this info. ???
