• 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

    Read, repost, and join the fight
    This ruling isn't about “efficiency”—it’s about control.

  • Social Security Cuts Benefit Clawback From 100% to 50% — But Experts Warn It’s Still ‘Devastating’

    The Social Security Administration (SSA) has quietly reduced its controversial benefit clawback rate from 100% to 50% for some recipients who were allegedly overpaid. While this marks a small step toward fairness, advocates warn it’s not enough—especially for elderly or disabled Americans facing unexpected repayment demands.

    For many, the remaining clawbacks could still lead to evictions, food insecurity, and financial collapse.

  • Social Security Administration Announces It Will Use X for Official Communications

    In a major digital shift, the Social Security Administration (SSA) confirmed it will be using X (formerly Twitter) to deliver key updates and communicate with the public going forward.

    This move signals a broader government embrace of Elon Musk’s platform—even after months of controversy surrounding free speech, moderation, and political bias. Will other agencies follow?

    Either way, X just got a lot more official.
