Sure, there are many ramifications. I mean, if you suddenly appear in the death master file, that's not only for Social Security. Social Security, by law and congressional statute, maintains that death master file. But all sorts of banking institutions, credit institutions, states... You know, departments of, you know, health, food stamps, Medicaid, they all ping off of that.

Well, there are many lawsuits. One of them just today, a former deputy at Social Security filed another declaration just today outlining, you know, just how outrageous this is. So this will definitely be going to court. And there's a lot of lawyers out there who see that this this program of Social Security is being deconstructed before our very eyes. In fact, I'm out here in Chicago.

Absolutely. Absolutely. In fact, I think the attorney generals play a really important role right now. I think it's only a matter of time before one of them figures out how to file state kidnapping charges. against those that are abducting people who are in this country legally and sending them to this new concentration camp that Donald Trump laughs about having created in El Salvador.

Good to be with you again, Rachel. Wish it weren't under these circumstances. So how do you want to unpack this?

Yeah, I would imagine that they were trying to go after personal identifying information on all of us. I mean, this is an agency that collects a lot of data.
