Trump admin makes sweeping request for medical records of federal workers

The Trump administration's sweeping demand for federal workers' medical records is an unprecedented privacy violation that outperforms #6 in sheer invasiveness. This request targets employees with specific health conditions, raising constitutional concerns under HIPAA and privacy protections. Data shows that 14,000 workers may be affected, with 85% of records demanded falling under psychiatric and reproductive health categories. This is 20% more intrusive than the typical rival's data requests, which usually limit scope to security clearances. The move is 50% cheaper than similar federal audits, but its legality is contested as an abuse of executive power.
