In a pivotal decision Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court granted the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)—originally founded under Elon Musk and now a key tool in President Donald Trump’s second-term agenda—temporary access to expansive records held by the Social Security Administration, including Americans’ Social Security numbers, mental and physical health documentation, and family court records.

The Court’s unsigned 6-3 ruling delivered a clear victory for the Trump administration, overruling a lower court decision that had blocked DOGE from accessing the data. The case now returns to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals for a full ruling on the merits.

This decision marks a significant advancement in President Trump’s effort to overhaul bloated federal bureaucracies through data-driven modernization. On Day One of his second term, Trump ordered DOGE to “modernize Federal technology and software to maximize governmental efficiency and productivity.” His directive aimed to root out waste and corruption and bring Silicon Valley-level precision to Washington.

Acting Social Security Commissioner Michelle King refused to comply with the order and resigned rather than open access to DOGE. Her successor, Leland Dudek, quickly reversed course—triggering left-wing backlash over what critics branded “unfettered access.” Conservatives, however, have hailed it as a long-overdue measure to ensure federal accountability and eliminate redundancies.

The liberal wing of the Court dissented, insisting that DOGE’s access should be blocked pending further appeals. But the conservative supermajority stood firm, signaling continued judicial support for constitutional governance and Trump’s broader executive reforms.

This decision adds to a string of legal victories for the Trump administration and conservative legal advocates. Earlier in the week, the Supreme Court dealt a blow to globalist interference by unanimously rejecting Mexico’s attempt to sue American firearms manufacturers over gun crimes committed across the border.

The Court also sided with a straight woman who filed a workplace discrimination claim—another decision that reaffirmed equal protection under the law for all Americans, not just politically favored groups.

In a setback to radical environmentalists, the high court declined to hear challenges from energy-producing states and industry groups fighting back against a slew of climate-related lawsuits pushed by progressive states and cities. These lawsuits aim to punish oil and gas companies for so-called “climate damages,” with costs that would ultimately hit American consumers in the wallet.

“Consumers are not helped by these cases, which seek to wipe products from store shelves and funnel money to left-wing causes,” said O.H. Skinner, executive director of the Alliance for Consumers. “Here is hoping the targets of these lawsuits continue to fight… as they have consistently prevailed in the final stages of review.”

Adam White of the American Enterprise Institute warned that the Court’s refusal to take up the Honolulu climate case could embolden leftist activists to reshape national energy policy through the courts. “I hope that the Court will hear the issue someday, for the sake of constitutional accountability and the public interest,” White stated.

Just one week earlier, the Court backed President Trump’s initiative to rein in Biden-era immigration overreach. In a sharp rebuke to a lower court judge in Boston, the justices reinstated Trump’s move to end “immigration parole” for more than 500,000 Venezuelan, Cuban, Haitian, and Nicaraguan nationals—many of whom had received temporary protected status under Joe Biden’s open-borders agenda.

This parole, meant to be a narrow humanitarian exception, was exploited to enable mass entry and provide work permits to foreign nationals—despite mounting pressures on American infrastructure and public services.

By staying Judge Indira Talwani’s order, the high court opened the door to swift removals and reaffirmed Trump’s commitment to restoring the rule of law at the border.

From data modernization to consumer protection, from climate sanity to lawful immigration enforcement, the Supreme Court is charting a path back to constitutional fidelity—one victory at a time. President Trump’s administration is proving that bold leadership and a faithful judiciary can reverse years of bureaucratic drift and activist overreach.
