DOGE Accused Of Amassing Massive Data For Political Dosiers

Bombshell report on the 04/30/25 edition of the Rachel Maddow Show (citing the NY times) says that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is amassing massive amounts of people’s private data from various government agencies in an effort to create a central database that could potentially be used/abused to create “dossiers” of political opponents of President Trump.

Yours Truly captured part of Maddow’s commentary in the tweet below (X below if you like🙄😂).

NY Times’ Julia Angwin told host Maddow that this [dossier politics] is very common in authoritarian countries, especially China. She specifically said: “China is sort of the example that does this. They have these master files that they have on every citizen, everything that they’ve ever done, it’s called social credit score, and they use it to punish dissent.”

Importantly, and quite scaringly, Angwin says compared to other Western nations, America’s privacy laws are the worst equipped to dealing with the dangers of such a centralized database. She adds that our system was designed based on this notion that government officials will always be acting in good faith, and thus tread carefully re the private data of citizens.

If this reporting holds up, it looks like America is gearing up for the biggest civil liberties fight of her 400 year existence. I hate to be a Debbie Downer here, but given since the passage of the Patriot Act right after 09/11, we’ve witnessed increasing encroachments to our civil liberties, and privacy in particular. 

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, advances in technology have for all intents and purposes, rendered the 4thamendment moot. Consequently, there’s no privacy to defend. Congress has had numerous opportunities to deal with the problem, but abdicated at every turn. Too late to solve the problem now.🤷. 

I’ve been quite consistent about this issue. This was me ranting and raving about very issue way back in 2019😳👇When some big time MSMer starts bandwagoning over the issue, make sure to remind them that Yours Truly was already crying about this in 2019…when MSM thought it was just another “conspiracy theory”.🙄

Monies Raised By Trump’s PACs Are Being Spent On His Legal Fees

Turns out, per bombshell segment on CNN‘s NewNight Show (01/30/24) that political action committees (PACs) supporting former President Donald Trump are using the $50 million they have raised, to offset Trump’s personal legal bills. As NewsNight host Abby Phillips hastily points out, as shady as this may appear to the general public, it is apparently totally legal.

One would understand why the public would struggle with the legality of this action by Trump’s PACs, given the myriad news stories out there, of people being criminally prosecuted for starting GoFundMe campaigns to ostensibly raise funds for medical bills, only to turn around and use those funds for personal items like new vehicles, rent, jewellery, etc. If that is illegal, then why should it be perfectly legal for a PAC, which ostensibly raises money for Trump’s campaign for the presidency in 2024, to turn around and use the raised funds to offset his personal legal bills?

Host Abby Phillip (0:15): “Sources tell CNN that $50 million, is how much the PACs supporting Trump, have raised and then donated to the cause of keeping Trump out of jail. Now, mind you, this is all legal, but a spokesman for one of those PACs insists tonight to the New York Times, that every dollar being raised by MAGA Inc is going directly to defeating Joe Biden in November. But at least some of those dollars and cents are as of this moment, being siphoned off for courtroom costs.”

Bottom line folks, reasonable people will agree that there is no difference between the financial fraud that GoFundMe scammers are rightly criminally prosecuted for, and what these Trump PACs are engaged in. Simply put, rather than just throwing up our hands in the air and accepting this cheating by Trump’s PACs as “totally legal”, maybe some legal eagle should embark on a novel federal lawsuit arguing that Trump’s PACs are defrauding their donors, and are in essence, no different than the criminal GoFundMe scammers. While this may not fix the issue during this 2024 election cycle, maybe, just maybe, it may spur members of Congress to come up with a legislative fix for these and other PAC loopholes, for future elections.
