The U.S. government is quietly building what could become the most comprehensive database of personal information in American history. And a DOGE affiliate has just been put in charge of it.

Login.gov was created in 2017 as a simple, secure way for Americans to access government services with a single account. That is not what it is being turned into. According to a December 2025 roadmap and a TTS employee who spoke to Wired, the plan is to expand Login.gov into a centralized repository that would hold not just your name and login credentials, but your income information, citizenship status, dependent data, driver's license, and passport. One insider put it plainly: "This will look more like a central repository for surveillance."

The person now overseeing this expansion is Greg Hogan, a DOGE affiliate who came to government from a self-driving car startup. While serving as CIO at the Office of Personnel Management, Hogan signed off on the privacy assessment that enabled DOGE's mass email server, which was used to send the infamous "Fork in the Road" message pressuring federal workers to resign and to collect information on what employees were working on each week. That server later became the subject of a federal lawsuit alleging violations of privacy law. Hogan also maintained a private-sector role while serving in government, raising serious conflict of interest concerns.

This is not a technology upgrade. It is a fundamental transformation of how the government collects and controls information about every American who interacts with federal services, carried out without congressional approval, without public comment, and under the leadership of someone with a documented history of enabling DOGE's most controversial data practices.

We are calling on Congress to act on four fronts. First, halt any expansion of Login.gov beyond its original secure login purpose until independent oversight and privacy protections are established by law. Second, pass legislation barring individuals with active private-sector affiliations from overseeing federal data and identity systems. Third, require explicit congressional authorization and public comment before Login.gov integrates driver's licenses, passport data, income information, or citizenship status. And fourth, direct the Government Accountability Office to conduct an immediate, independent audit of Login.gov's December 2025 roadmap and all planned data expansions.

Americans already distrust how their data is handled. Handing a DOGE affiliate control of a system being built to hold everything about everyone is not a reassurance. It is a warning sign. Congress needs to act before this door closes.
