DOGE having access to government agencies is illegal

Salient and sage post.

 

I agree the line of succession is horrible. But I don't think the others have the pull to keep it going or get the people together to be successful. I think the conservative media wouldn't back them. The mainstream media wouldn't sane-wash those guys or give them the attention that Trump was able to put together. Also, possible in the power vaccum to many people would splinter off and it could get too many factions.

I also think waiting for a good successor will take forever.

Of course impeaching is no guarantee any way, so it's all hypothetical

 

You just can't trust liberals -- they try to take advantage of government at every turn! Such dishonest people.

 

So DOGE is dead. Nothing was saved.

What did they REALLY do and steal? Destroy evidence? Access to data for every single American and govt records to feed Palantir?

I refuse to believe Elon and his hacker boys were truly trying to cut wasteful spending. Elons always been a master "look over there, while i do this" person..so what did he pull off this time?

 

It is not dead.

Uh huh.

 

Seek help.

 

My favorite part of DOGE, is the number of clients that I have that took the resignation offer, only to be hired back by the government or hired by a contractor working directly on base.

 

In a newly disclosed court filing, Trump admin admits DOGE employees had access to off-limits Social Security data


Two members of Elon Musk’s DOGE team working at the Social Security Administration were secretly in touch with an advocacy group seeking to “overturn election results in certain states,” and one signed an agreement that may have involved using Social Security data to match state voter rolls.
Elizabeth Shapiro, a top Justice Department official, said SSA referred both DOGE employees for potential violations of the Hatch Act, which bars government employees from using their official positions for political purposes.

Shapiro’s previously unreported disclosure, dated Friday, came as part of a list of “corrections” to testimony by top SSA officials during last year’s legal battles over DOGE’s access to Social Security data. They revealed that DOGE team members shared data on unapproved “third-party” servers and may have accessed private information that had been ruled off-limits by a court at the time.

Shapiro said the case of the two DOGE team members appeared to undermine a previous assertion by SSA that DOGE’s work was intended to “detect fraud, waste and abuse” in Social Security and modernize the agency’s technology.

 

Well, anyone that was paying attention knew DOGE screwed with every American's private info--they didn't target the agencies with national databases for no reason. They took info that did have and still has legal protections and legal silos. It's just that those laws have been ignored and the enforcement arms corrupted. We let DOGE pull off one of the great heists of history. They essentially stole personal info from every person in this country. To make it worse, we still don't know what they did with it, how they altered it, how they plan to combine it, use it in the future, or even if it has been sold to other corporations and countries.

The worst case is indeed very bad. Heads should roll.

 

No, but, you see, woke.

They terminated a bunch of grants and then forged the NEH Director's signature on the letters. The piece concludes thusly:
