Chapter 1: What did Judge Ellen Hollander's letter to Trump say?
A federal judge from Maryland, Judge Ellen Hollander, just sent a blistering letter to the Trump regime telling them to cease and desist from misrepresenting her order, which stated that the Doge Group headed by Elon Musk, is not entitled to access broad swaths of private information held within the Social Security Administration.
The Trump regime, through its acting commissioner of the Social Security Administration named Leland Dudek, is saying that as a result of this order, Social Security is going to have to be shut down, that they don't know how to act. They have to give all of their documents to Elon Musk. And because of this federal ruling, they may have to shut down Social Security immediately.
And the judge is saying, that's not what I said. I just said, don't share it with the Doge Group, Elon. and big balls and whatever that group is. You can still function and do the same job you've always done at the Social Security Administration under the Privacy Act. Stop compromising people's privacy by giving them sensitive data to Elon Musk.
There's headlines like this from the Washington Post. Acting Social Security head consults with Justice Department on threat to close the agency. Leland Dudek argues that a ruling blocking Elon Musk's cost-cutting team from access to sensitive taxpayer data could apply to all employees unless they need to shut it down. We know their plan is to shut it down. They've been saying it.
And this is the pretext that they're trying to use. Let me show you the letter that was just sent by Judge Hollander. Here's what she writes to the counsel right here, the Department of Justice, who's representing the Trump regime.
Dear counsel, I write with respect to the temporary restraining order issued yesterday afternoon in the above caption case, among other things, except under conditions described in the order.
The temporary restraining order enjoins and restrains the United States Social Security Administration, SSA, Leland Dudek, and Michael Russo from granting access to non-anonymized, personally identifiable information in any SSA system of record to the Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE,
the United States Doge Service, the United States Doge Service Temporary Organization, members of the Doge team at the SAA, Elon Musk, Amy Gleason, and Doge affiliates as defined in the order.
Conversely, paragraph two of the order expressly allows the SSA, the Social Security Administration, to provide access to redacted or anonymized data and records to the Doge team subject to proper training and the like. Notably, paragraph three of the TRO permits the SSA to provide non-anonymized data to the Doge team subject to certain conditions.

And here he is saying that, no, no, no, no, no, we should not be more empathetic. to the people who are being hurt by Doge, no way we should be more empathetic. Play this clip.
Before we get there, I want to ask one last question on the cuts. Do we need to speak in a more empathetic way because that trillion dollars of spending flows into someone's pocket? Some percentage of that pays people a salary and they live on that income. And I think a lot of the, okay, I think this is important for you to highlight because a lot of people are reacting.
I can keep showing you these, but I think you get the point. Here's Elon Musk who runs Doge, even though he and the Trump regime now claim someone named Amy Gleeson is the person who runs Doge. So here's the richest man in the world saying that social security is the biggest Ponzi scheme of all time when he's on the Joe Rogan show broadcast. who launders this filth and oligarchy. Play this clip.
I mean, the government's one big permit scheme, if you ask me.
Yeah, well, you can tell me better than anybody.
Social security is the biggest policy scheme of all time. Right. Explain that. Oh, so, um, well, people pay into social security, um, and, and the money goes out of social security immediately, but the obligation for social security is, uh, your entire retirement career.
So you're, you're paying, uh, with your, the kind of people you're paying, like, like if you look at the future obligations of social security, it far exceeds the tax revenue. Far. Have you ever looked at the debt clock? Yes. Okay. There's our present-day debt, but then there's our future obligations.
So when you look at the future obligations of Social Security, the actual national debt is like double what people think it is because of the future obligations. Okay. So basically people are living way longer than expected. And there are fewer babies being born. So you have more people who are retired that live for a long time and get retirement payments.
