A system implemented by the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency program accidentally leaked the Social Security numbers of health care providers, The Washington Post reported on Thursday.

"The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) last year created a directory to help seniors look up which doctors and medical providers accept which insurance plans, framing it as an overdue improvement and part of the Trump administration’s initiative to modernize health care technology," said the report. However, "a publicly accessible database used to populate the directory contains some of the providers’ Social Security numbers, linked to their names and other identifying information."

A former staffer at Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, raised eyebrows on Thursday after analysts viewed his "arrogant" deposition tape.

Nathan Cavanaugh, an ex-DOGE staffer, was deposed as part of a lawsuit filed by the American Council of Learned Societies, the American Historical Association, and the Modern Language Association challenging the agency's use of ChatGPT to identify and cancel grants supporting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, or DEI, programs.

A federal judge has rejected the Trump administration's attempt to dismiss a lawsuit challenging Elon Musk's authority to exercise executive power as head of the Department of Government Efficiency.

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan used President Donald Trump's own words against him when she denied the government's motion to dismiss on Monday, ruling that more than a dozen state attorneys general and several nonprofits have sufficient evidence to pursue claims that Musk illegally wielded power without Senate confirmation, reported The Daily Beast.

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) may have been disbanded months ago, but some of the staffers who were on board by billionaire Elon Musk to make good on his promise to dramatically slash government spending are reportedly still hard at work at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM).

According to Politico’s Sophia Cai, the “task of overhauling the federal workforce continues" despite reports the fact that DOGE came up woefully short of its goals, with the Wall Street Journal reporting it had a negligible impact.

The inspector general for the Social Security Administration is investigating after a whistleblower alleged an official installed by tech billionaire Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency initiative took a flash drive full of sensitive beneficiary information to his new employer.

According to The Washington Post, this allegation, if proven, "would constitute an unprecedented breach of security protocols at an agency that serves more than 70 million Americans."

A federal judge appears poised to force one of President Donald Trump's closest allies to disclose potentially damning information about his time at the Department of Government Efficiency.

Federal Judge James Boasberg in the District of Columbia ruled on Wednesday that Trump ally Elon Musk's lawyers must disclose any telephone number that Musk gave to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy or any other Republican colleagues on The Hill between Jan. 20 and May 31, 2025, Allison Gill of the "Mueller, She Wrote" podcast reported on her Substack. A status update disclosing the phone number is due by Feb. 24, Boasberg wrote.

Two people brought into the Social Security Administration under President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) task force have been referred to the Justice Department for allegedly conspiring to give sensitive agency information to a group trying to prove election fraud conspiracy theories.

According to Politico, "Elizabeth Shapiro, a top Justice Department official, said SSA referred both DOGE employees for potential violations of the Hatch Act, which bars government employees from using their official positions for political purposes."
