This crime at Social Security might amount to the biggest data theft in human history. Committed by a government against its own citizens. I donโ€™t think anyone has begun to grasp the sheer scale of corruption and institutional destruction that has occurred in the last few months. Era-defining.

From: Charles Borges, Chief Data Officer, Social Security Administration To: Frank Bisignano, Commissioner, Social Security Administration Subj: Forced Resignation from Social Security Administration I am regretfully involuntarily leaving my position at the Social Security Administration (SSA). This involuntary resignation is the result of SSA's actions against me, which make my duties impossible to perform legally and ethically, have caused me serious attendant mental, physical, and emotional distress, and constitute a constructive discharge. 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. SSA data is among the most sensitive data in the Federal Government, and the CDO musโ€ฆ

Warnock: I hear people attack poor people and act like itโ€™s a crime to be poor, rather than to recognize itโ€™s criminal for so many people to be poor. They do all of this in the name of Jesusโ€ฆ Jesus is the biggest victim of identity theft in the United States

Just sat down on the Capitol Steps with my good friend @booker.senate.gov to have a real conversation about the dangerous situation we confront in America. And what we can all do to stop it. Tune in live: www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBej...

Thinking about the career of Sen Durbin has me thinking about a larger issue: how politics has, during my adult lifetime, become a form of show business. Which is not much of an insight, of course. But we donโ€™t talk enough about what it really is, or, should be.
