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.

4/6 This shouldn’t be a partisan issue - here’s me supporting Biden FTC Commissioner Lina Khan for suing brokers for tracking and selling where people worship.

5/6 While they sell our data, these companies get millions in funding from . They then spend that money lobbying Congress against privacy protections to avoid regulation.Login.gov

6/6 Programs like Login.gov show that business as usual is broken and why the American people are fed up. This type of program should be the poster child for what should be eliminated on Day 1.

Killing Login wouldn’t negatively impact anyone, would save America hundreds of millions, AND would limit the reach of creepy data brokers? Yes please.

Thank you to @realDonaldTrump @elonmusk and @GOPOversight for targeting all this fraud and waste!
