Summary
Thirteen Democratic attorneys general, led by New York’s Letitia James, plan to sue to block Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing federal payment systems containing sensitive personal data.
Concerns include security risks and potential disruptions to Social Security and Medicare.
A federal judge ruled that only two Musk allies could have “read-only” access.
DOGE allegedly seeks control to halt payments to agencies like USAID.
Gee, WHICH STATES, AP?
Probably Texas, right, because they’re big on their individual liberties, or so it says on their website. And of course Florida is big and tough, and Oklahoma loves to protect its people.
(Edit: I’m sure it’s in the body of the article, I’m just saying these headlines about “# states do a thing” are clearly talking about red states or non-red states and they should just say so. the fact that they don’t is utter shit.)
Thirteen Democratic attorneys general
First line of the summary, guy.
Joining [New York] in the statement were the attorneys general of Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, Rhode Island and Vermont.
No one is going to put all of that in a headline. Calm down.
Again, I’m not saying they didn’t have the information in the body of the article.
And isn’t there some other way they coudl have included that in the title besides listing all the states?
Your first quote, for example.
The headlines sole purpose is to get you to read the article, not give you the details in one sentence.
Incorrect.
I mean, yes, that’s how it’s explained in journalism school. Journalists do tend to read the articles.
The world isn’t going to do everything the way you think it should, just because you don’t like it. Grow up.
Okay. And you make the slightest effort to understand how media actually works in the world. We’ll call it even.
I’m not the one that’s wants the entire article in the headline.
Hey neither am I! Fantastic we have common ground.
