Hugely controversial Supreme Court ruling hands Trump and DOGE 'double win'

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled in favor of allowing DOGE to access sensitive Social Security information, according to CNN's Joan Biskupic.

In a 6-3 ruling Friday afternoon, the court lifted a block on DOGE's access that was imposed by a lower court.

"You know, the Social Security Administration has so much personal information on all of us; our Social Security numbers, our bank account numbers, all sorts of records, date of birth — and DOGE had said that it needed access to this material for part of its efforts to modernize government systems," Biskupic said.

With the three liberal justices dissenting, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote, "This will hand DOGE staffers highly sensitive data of millions of Americans," Biskupic read.

In a separate 6-3 ruling, the justices paused a lower court order giving access to DOGE information to outlets that requested it under the Freedom of Information Act.

"There had been a watchdog group [that] was suing DOGE trying to get information about its people and its activities, and was seeking documents and discovery, and the Supreme Court has paused that effort," Biskupic said.

She added that the rulings were "a double win" for both Trump and DOGE.
