1/6 As @Elonmusk @VivekGRamaswamy launch @DOGE I hope they take a look at programs like that waste taxpayer money AND fund CREEPY data brokers that undermine personal privacy.
It’s an open-secret in DC this program is the perfect example of everything wrong with government …Login.gov
2/6 The federal government has spent over $300 million to duplicate services that already exist in the private sector to prove your identity online.
The program has not only been over-budget and behind schedule, but for YEARS, the Biden Admin LIED about Login’s security.
3/6 Login is ALSO built with creepy data brokers who openly sell your personal information to the highest bidder.
These companies sell data about where Americans live, work, our mental health conditions, and they even let our adversaries buy sensitive data about our military members.
.@politico is writing a smear piece on me as shills for the @SenatorBurr camp. (Probably in exchange for some other intel story.)
The scandalous oppo they’ve dumped:
I have an office lease at or below market rate, approved by the House, from Merrill Land Company.
Collier Merrill (one MLC principle):
- Fmr Pcola Chamber head
- Fmr Chair State Education Board
- Fmr Chair Florida Arts Council
- has hosted fundraisers for me
- once praised a bill I sponsored to kill Lionfish on our reefs (helpful to every FL seafood establishment, equally)
- was a legal client of mine many years ago on a local noise violation at his restaurant
- has attended various official functions I’ve hosted with other community leaders to discuss issues (all open to press & live-streamed to everyone).
