WASHINGTON — The Department of Government Efficiency, run by President Donald Trump’s billionaire adviser and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, has gained access to sensitive Treasury data including Social Security and Medicare customer payment systems, according to two people familiar with the situation.

Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency have been granted access to a sensitive Treasury Department payment system containing personal data of millions of Americans receiving tax refunds, Medicare, Social Security and other payments from the federal government.How Did This $6 Trillion Agency Fall Under Musk’s Purview? According to the New York Times, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent approved the access late Friday, which coincided with the resignation of David Lebryk, a career Treasury official who clashed with DOGE over the system. The Bureau of Fiscal Service, normally run by civil servants, processes over $6 trillion annually.Democrats Are FuriousSen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), the top Democrat on the Senate Banking Committee sent a letter on Monday to Bessent demanding answers, calling Musk's "meddling” with a system that processes trillions in transactions "extraordinarily dangerous.""I am alarmed that as one of your first acts as Secretary, you appear to have handed over a ...Full story available on Benzinga.com

News comes after departure of Treasury's acting Deputy Secretary David Lebryk after more than 30 years of service.
02/03/2025 --axios
Elon Musk and his cost-slashing allies are taking a hammer to the massive bureaucracy that staffs the U.S. government — and a scalpel to any senior officials who dare put up a fight.Why it matters: Musk isn't the only force driving the Trump administration's escalating purge of civil servants. But his fingerprints are everywhere, and his methods are unlike anything the federal government has ever seen.Zoom in: Musk and his lieutenants — many of them Silicon Valley transplants, some as young as 19 — have been tied to a series of high-profile departures and ousters at the top of key federal agencies.The Treasury Department's highest-ranking career official announced his retirement Friday after a dispute with Musk allies who sought access to a sensitive system for government payments, The Washington Post scooped.David Lebryk, who worked at Treasury for more than three decades, was one of a few career officials who control the Bureau of Fiscal Service's technical checkbook, which disburses trillions of dollars in spending."Truly a shocking move — Dave is a total apolitical professional who's been trusted by Treasury secretaries from both parties to maintain the critical financial plumbing of the U.S. govt," Biden Treasury official Mike Gwin tweeted in response to the news.By late Friday, Musk's allies at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had been granted full access to the payment system by newly confirmed Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, according to the New York Times."Career Treasury officials are breaking the law every hour of every day by approving payments that are fraudulent or do not match the funding laws passed by Congress," Musk claimed Saturday. "This needs to stop NOW!""I can think of no good reason why political operators who have demonstrated a blatant disregard for the law would need access to these sensitive, mission-critical systems," Senate Finance ranking member Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) wrote in a letter demanding answers from Bessent. Screenshot via XThe pattern repeated itself at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), which Trump could be preparing to fold into the State Department — openly defying a congressional statute.A top HR official at USAID, which has become the epicenter of a vicious debate over foreign aid, was placed on administrative leave Thursday for trying to rescind a DOGE order purging career officials, the Post reports.On Saturday, two top security officials also were put on leave after trying to stop Musk allies from physically accessing USAID headquarters and personnel files, including classified information."USAID is a criminal organization. Time for it to die," Musk tweeted in response to reports of the confrontation.Behind the scenes: So far, the White House appears pleased with Musk's foray into the inner workings of the government, seeing his efforts as aligned with Trump's broader goals of disrupting D.C.'s status quo."Elon's top interest outside of DOGE is making sure the president's orders are acted upon," a senior White House official told Axios. "Elon is the ultimate command-and-control guy. He's making sure there's a sense of urgency in the agencies.""What Elon's doing is great because he's an innovative businessman bringing business innovation to bear in government. That's why he's here," the official added.But political risks are inherent in Musk's whirlwind takeover of federal agencies, especially when they intersect with his business interests.Democrats have accused Musk of pressuring former Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) head Mike Whitaker to resign Jan. 20 over $600,000 in fines the agency levied against Musk's SpaceX.Whitaker's departure left the FAA without a leader during Wednesday night's in-air collision near Reagan National Airport — the deadliest U.S. air disaster since 2001. Trump named Chris Rocheleau as FAA acting administrator the next day.The big picture: Musk hasn't slowed down since helping orchestrate last week's stunning offer of "deferred resignations" for 2 million federal workers, which came days after he visited the Office of Personnel Management.Musk allies installed at the OPM have locked career officials out of computer systems that contain the personal data of millions of federal workers, Reuters reported Friday.What we're watching: Musk paid a visit last week to what's likely to be his next target: the General Services Administration, which oversees thousands of government leases as part of its massive budget."Deleted," Musk responded bluntly to an X post highlighting the billions of dollars and thousands of federal workers under GSA's control.

On Wednesday, Donald Trump nominated former Rep. Billy Long to chair the Internal Revenue Service, a Missouri Republican who tried to abolish the tax-collecting agency while serving in Congress.Long was a cosponsor of the Fair Tax Act, a bill that would abolish income taxes and instead implement a whopping 23% sales tax—a regressive tax that the Tax Policy Center said would lead to a tax increase on the middle class and a massive cut for the wealthiest Americans. The bill Long co-sponsored also sought to repeal the 16th Amendment to the Constitution, which gives Congress the power to create and collect income taxes, and ultimately would abolish the IRS entirely.

A quartet of U.S. Senators from both sides of the aisle have introduced new legislation aimed at helping healthcare organizations weather the onslaught of ransomware and other cyberattacks.WHY IT MATTERSThe new bill, The Health Care Cybersecurity and Resiliency Act of 2024, was introduced by HELP Committee ranking member Dr. Bill Cassidy, R-Louisiana, along with Sens. Mark Warner D-Virginia; John Cornyn, R-Texas; and Maggie Hassan, D-New Hampshire."This bipartisan legislation ensures health institutions can safeguard Americans’ health data against increasing cyber threats," said Cassidy in a press statement.All of those senators are members of a healthcare cybersecurity working group that was formed on Capitol Hill a year ago, and the provisions of this legislation arise from their discussions there.Among other requirements, the Cybersecurity and Resiliency Act would offer grants to healthcare organizations to help them shore up their ability to prevent and respond to cyberattacks, in addition to funding training to help foster cybersecurity best practices. In particular, the grants would be targeted at underserved communities, to help rural health clinics and other providers improve basic cyber hygiene, boost resilience and improve coordination with federal agencies.The bill also calls for better coordination between the Department of Health and Human Services and the Homeland Security department's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency to better respond to healthcare's cybersecurity needs.On the policy front, the act would call for updates and modernization to existing regulations governing HIPAA covered entities – requiring them and their business associates to adhere to certain baseline standards and "use modern, up-to-date cybersecurity practices – and it would require the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services to create and implement a cybersecurity incident response plan.THE LARGER TRENDCassidy, Warner, Cornyn and Hassan convened the Senate Health Care Cybersecurity Working Group in November 2023 in response to the "disturbing rise in cyberattacks" on healthcare organizations, as Cassidy said at the time, noting that a then record 89 million Americans had seen their health information breached in 2023 – twice as many as the year before.Those attacks cost $10 million per breach, on average. Worse, they can often disrupt care delivery for days or even weeks, posing significant risks to patient safety."Cyberattacks on our healthcare systems and organizations not only threaten personal and sensitive information, but can have life-and-death consequences with even the briefest period of interruption," said Warner. "I’m proud to introduce this bipartisan legislation that strengthens our cybersecurity and better protects patients."Rural hospitals, under-resourced and understaffed, are particularly vulnerable. (The White House, along with Big Tech giants Google and Microsoft, have offered funding and expertise to help them.)As the ongoing scourge of healthcare cyberattacks reaches "epidemic proportions," federal leaders are advocating for increased public-private collaboration and layered defense approaches to help health systems strengthen and stabilize their security postures and improve their responsiveness.Meanwhile, other legislation has been proposed in response to the cybersecurity crisis. Earlier this fall, Warner, along with Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Oregon, unveiled a separate Finance Committee bill, the Health Infrastructure Security and Accountability Act, which would also increase funding to rural and underserved hospitals to help them meet certain mandated cybersecurity protocols.ON THE RECORD "Cyberattacks in the healthcare sector can have a wide range of devastating consequences, from exposing private medical information to disrupting care in ERs – and it can be particularly difficult for medical providers in rural communities with fewer resources to prevent and respond to these attacks," said Hassan in a statement. "Our bipartisan working group came together to develop this legislation based on the most pressing needs for medical providers and patients, and I urge my colleagues to support it.""In an increasingly digital world, it is essential that Americans’ healthcare data is protected," added Cornyn. "This commonsense legislation would modernize our healthcare institutions’ cybersecurity practices, increase agency coordination, and provide tools for rural providers to prevent and respond to cyberattacks."

There are several health policies that may be included in this package, including policies expiring at the end of the year.

The New Republic's Greg Sargent has written a lengthy article about what he believes will likely be unprecedented corruption within the second Trump administration.In particular, Sargent notes that this time Trump didn't even make a pretense of obeying any kinds of ethics rules, which he believes he will interpret as a green light to blatantly enrich himself at the public's expense."There are several reasons to fear this could amount to a level of oligarchic corruption that outdoes anything Trump did in his first term," Sargent explains. "In short, conditions are ripe for right-wing elites to try to loot the place from top to bottom."ALSO READ: 'Blueprint of destruction': Experts outline 'chillingly clear' view of Trump's next termSargent says that Democrats' loss of control of the United States Senate means that they now no longer have investigative tools to dredge up embarrassing dirt on the administration, and in particular will close up probes into the promises that Trump made to oil executives and into Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner's firm receiving a massive influx of foreign investment from countries such as Saudi Arabia.“The next four years are going to be a smash and grab under Trump,” Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) told Sargent. “Special interests who put Trump back in office expect a return on their investment." Noah Bookbinder, president of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, pointed to the way that Trump is letting X CEO Elon Musk push a policy agenda as evidence that there will be no guardrails on corruption and looting."Trump is showing that he will reward people who help him by giving them tremendous influence over his administration,” he said. “This will encourage more people to direct their largesse Trump’s way. We expect government to look out for the public interest. Trump is open about the fact that government is meant to serve his supporters, business partners, and friends.”

President-elect Trump has selected vaccine skeptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the nation's top health care agency, which would give him power over food and drug regulation, Medicare and Medicaid policy, the federal public health system and national health care research money.Why it matters: We're now in the Wild West in a way we never were during Trump's first presidency, at least when it comes to health care.The pick is a radical departure from both mainstream science and Republican orthodoxy, and even before we know if Kennedy will be confirmed, the fallout is sending shockwaves through health care markets."Kennedy likely will lead to significantly more volatility in health markets, making navigating policy risks far more challenging," Raymond James analyst and former Trump administration health official Chris Meekins wrote yesterday in an investor note."If Kennedy is confirmed, it is hard to bookend risks for investors as his views are so outside the traditional Republican health policy orthodoxy."What they're saying: "For too long, Americans have been crushed by the industrial food complex and drug companies who have engaged in deception, misinformation, and disinformation when it comes to Public Health," Trump posted on X, announcing the decision."Mr. Kennedy will restore these Agencies to the traditions of Gold Standard Scientific Research, and beacons of Transparency, to end the Chronic Disease epidemic, and to Make America Great and Healthy Again!"Between the lines: Kennedy's views on vaccines and the need to revamp health agencies are well-known at this point. But his views on more traditional health care topics — like Medicare Advantage or the Affordable Care Act subsidies — are much less clear.And on some topics, especially the value of the pharmaceutical industry, Kennedy has starkly different views than most Republicans — including those who may be staffing the administration in other health care roles.On the other hand, his appointment is likely to set the tone for other top health care appointees, like FDA commissioner or CMS administrator — and potentially scare away would-be contenders who don't share his views.Kennedy's appointment is likely to amplify fears of top government scientists fleeing health agencies.Yes, but: Kennedy still probably has to get confirmed by the Senate, though there's been a lot of talk lately about Trump pushing for the use of recess appointments to skirt around the confirmation process. (Here's a good Semafor explainer of why that is easier said than done.)Regardless of how Senate Republicans react, a confirmation process would be brutal."Mr. Kennedy's outlandish views on basic scientific facts are disturbing and should worry all parents who expect schools and other public spaces to be safe for their children," Senate Finance Committee Chair Ron Wyden said in a statement after the announcement."When Mr. Kennedy comes before the Finance Committee, it's going to be very clear what Americans stand to lose under Trump and Republicans in Congress."The big picture: By elevating Kennedy to such a position of power, Trump has lent credence to a messenger who distorts and misrepresents basic facts or concepts that have been rigorously proven.The post-pandemic years have shown how easy it is for seeds of doubt to translate into reduced vaccination rates and, in the case of measles, the outbreak of a disease that was declared eliminated in the U.S. in 2000.Go deeper: What a Trump-empowered RFK Jr. could do on health care
