Summary

Thirteen Democratic attorneys general, led by New York’s Letitia James, plan to sue to block Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing federal payment systems containing sensitive personal data.

Concerns include security risks and potential disruptions to Social Security and Medicare.

A federal judge ruled that only two Musk allies could have “read-only” access.

DOGE allegedly seeks control to halt payments to agencies like USAID.

    Gee, WHICH STATES, AP?

    Probably Texas, right, because they’re big on their individual liberties, or so it says on their website. And of course Florida is big and tough, and Oklahoma loves to protect its people.

        Again, I’m not saying they didn’t have the information in the body of the article.

        And isn’t there some other way they coudl have included that in the title besides listing all the states?

        Your first quote, for example.

          The headlines sole purpose is to get you to read the article, not give you the details in one sentence.

            Incorrect.

            I mean, yes, that’s how it’s explained in journalism school. Journalists do tend to read the articles.

              The world isn’t going to do everything the way you think it should, just because you don’t like it. Grow up.
