The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of President Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), overturning a lower court’s restriction on accessing Social Security Administration (SSA) data and determining that DOGE is not obligated to disclose records under the Freedom of Information Act. The court’s conservative majority faced dissent from three liberal justices regarding the implications of these decisions, which align with DOGE’s controversial efforts to streamline government operations and access sensitive data. DOGE, previously led by Elon Musk, has faced criticism for its aggressive initiatives, including misleading claims about Social Security fraud.
