• Supreme Court Restores DOGE’s Access to Social Security Data—Blocks Transparency Requests

    The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) can once again access sensitive Social Security data, including private earnings, disability records, and health info. In a 6–3 decision, the Court overturned a lower court’s order that restricted DOGE’s reach—raising massive privacy red flags.

    At the same time, SCOTUS denied a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request aimed at exposing DOGE’s internal documents—granting total operational secrecy.

    👁️‍🗨️ Translation: They get your data. You get no answers.

    Why This Matters:

    Full access to sensitive data
    No public transparency
    Millions of Americans affected
    Privacy watchdogs silenced

    Dissenting Justices Kagan, Jackson, and Sotomayor warned this opens the door to surveillance abuse, algorithmic bias, and unchecked power.

    BETTR Calls for:

    Full FOIA restoration
    New limits on federal data sharing
    Congressional oversight of DOGE
    A federal Data Rights Amendment

    This ruling isn't about “efficiency”—it’s about control.

  • Supreme Court Temporarily Blocks Release of DOGE Records in FOIA Case

    The U.S. Supreme Court has issued a temporary stay on a lower court's order requiring the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to release documents to a watchdog group. This pause allows the Court time to consider whether DOGE, led by Elon Musk under the Trump administration, is subject to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Critics argue DOGE wields significant independent power over federal operations, while the administration contends it's merely an advisory body and thus exempt from FOIA.
