The actions of Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) are deeply concerning, as they illegally access sensitive personal and financial data of millions of Americans without proper oversight or security clearances. This blatant disregard for data privacy and ethics poses a severe threat to our constitutional rights and the rule of law. We urge immediate congressional intervention to rein in DOGE's unconstitutional overreach. The proposed Taxpayer Data Protection Act is a crucial step towards restoring accountability and safeguarding the personal information of law-abiding citizens. This bill will ensure that anyone accessing Treasury Department systems has the requisite clearances, cybersecurity training, and no conflicts of interest, while imposing criminal penalties for violations. Unchecked, DOGE's actions undermine the separation of powers and erode public trust in our democratic institutions. Protecting the privacy and security of taxpayer data should be a non-partisan issue. We implore lawmakers from both parties to unite and support this legislation, upholding their sworn duty to defend the Constitution and the rights of the American people against this administration's reckless agenda. Robust oversight and stringent data protection measures are imperative to preserve our civil liberties and prevent further erosion of our cherished democratic values.
