After reporting internally to management and externally to regulators serious data security and integrity concerns impacting our citizens' most sensitive personal data, I have suffered exclusion, isolation, internal strife, and a culture of fear, creating a hostile work environment and making work conditions intolerable. I have served this Country for almost my entire adult life, first as an Active-Duty Naval Officer for over 22 years, and now as a civil servant. I was deployed during 9/11, decorated for valor in combat during Operation Iraqi Freedom, and graduated from US Naval Test Pilot School. As a civil servant, I have served as a Presidential Innovation Fellow, in the Centers for Disease Control during COVID, within OMB on the Federal CIO Data Team, and now serve as the SSA Chief Data Officer (CDO). I have served in each of these roles with honor and integrity. As the SSA CDO, I am responsible for providing oversight and Governance to ensure the safety, integrity, and security of the public's data at SSA. My position requires full visibility into data access and exchange across all SSA systems and environments. My duties include ensuring compliance with federal data privacy, security, and regulatory requirements, as well as ensuring data is handled in accordance with internal and external policies, standards, and industry best practices.

Okay, my 101-year-old grandfather is really enjoying the responses he’s gotten here, so I’ve finally convinced him to let me share something he’s been working on for years; a series of sculptures he calls “Trumpinnochios.” Here’s one of his best. I’ll share a few more in this thread.

End of week reminder that I’m running for California AD-72! We’ve already gotten over 700 contributions so far, and a huge thanks to everyone that’s pitched in. It’s time to step up and fight for our democracy. (I’ll do one of these on Monday and one on Friday so I don’t spam your feed too much)

Good.

Health officials from Massachusetts, Maine, Vermont, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania met this week to consider coordinating their own vaccine recommendations, separate from the federal government.

Next time when you question “Why can’t we have Medicare for all?” and a Republican answers “Where will we get the money?”, you have your answer….. The same way we paid for this crap and pay for wars. The Fed issues money and cannot run out but it depends on how money is spent.

Agreed. I wish I had an answer but sadly don’t. You would think after the massacre of little children at Sandy Hook would have stopped the madness but it didn’t. Republicans do love their guns, tax cuts for rich, cutting healthcare and food assistance to the poor more than human life.
