The Department of Governmental Efficiency (DOGE) has been digging into the data of many Americans, and now a Congressman is urging Americans to dig into the data of DOGE.
Congressman Jamie Raskin, D-Maryland, in an interview with Democracy Docket posted to Instagram, explained exactly how.
Federal courts have found that DOGE is a government agency and is affected by federal laws — specifically the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
“This is our government. That’s our data, and we have a right to know,” Raskin said during the interview. “Here’s something every American can do and ought to do: get your FOIA request in under the Privacy Act for your private information that may have been seized by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency.”
Under Musk’s leadership, DOGE has been downloading data from the Internal Revenue Service, the Social Security Administration and other departments that contain private data of every American.
Ruskin said he filled out a form demanding DOGE turn over all the data they have on him “from the Social Security department, for the Department of Education, college student loans, anything they would have from any federal department that they’ve assembled.”
“I want to see it, and guess what, I’ve got a right to see it,” Raskin said. “And I want to know whether they’ve made any changes to it.”
Raskin said Americans have the right to determine whether everything there is accurate or if there are inaccuracies to change them, and the right to know whether the information has been diverted or leaked out to a third party — whether it is an artificial intelligence program owned by Musk or another business.
“I have a right to know that. That’s my data. And guess who else has that right — 340 million Americans,” he said.
The form to obtain personal information from DOGE can be found here.
Raskin famously served as the lead impeachment manager for President Donald Trump’s second impeachment trial in 2021 in response to the January 6 insurrection attack on the U.S. Capitol Building.
So, we KNOW the machines for voting have our signatures and those have been loaded onto Chinese data banks. We know this. We have two people in Wisconsin filing civil suits because the Poll Books (electronic) stole their signature so that the MACHINES could then use their signature to vote for them. The didn’t vote a particular election. And then when they checked to see what the clerk had them down as not voting…well, the clerk said that they had voted! WHEN THEY DID NOT! They had proof that they were well away from the polling location to prove that they had not voted! Peter Bernegger has these two as his clients! So Raskin…..DOGE didn’t steal your signature to use whenever they want to use it—-the THIEVES that YOU and YOUR PARTY COLLUDED WITH DID.
