How You Can Fight Back Against the Trump Administration’s Abuses
Share Your Story With Me
Since taking office, President Trump, Elon Musk, and Republicans’ actions — many of them unconstitutional and in violation of federal law — have led to the firing of thousands of essential civil servants and cuts to federal programs.
If you or someone you know has been affected by this onslaught of firings, funding cuts, immigration policies, or in any way has been harmed by this administration, please share your story below. We are in this together.

DOGE and the Privacy Act
Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have accessed government computer data systems that hold the personal data of every American. They have been hiding behind evasions and misrepresentations to avoid coming clean to the American people about the data they are collecting and what they are doing with it.
Every American has the right to hold our government accountable and to know what data the government has about us. Filing a Privacy Act request is one method that may allow Americans to learn more about what data (if any) DOGE has obtained about them. The Privacy Act is a law that establishes how most federal agencies can collect, use, and disclose Americans’ personally identifiable information. The Privacy Act also allows Americans to view the records that applicable federal agencies have about them, upon their request.
In March 2025, a U.S. District Court required DOGE to process a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed by a non-profit organization. To date, no federal court has explicitly ruled on DOGE’s obligations under the Privacy Act.
