The Department of Government Efficiency (aka DOGE)

Scholten introduces bill to open Musk and DOGE to FOIA provisions

U.S. Rep. Hillary Scholten (D-Grand Rapids) on Thursday introduced legislation she says will provide accountability about the actions of billionaire Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE.

According to a press release from Scholten’s office, the Consistent Legal Expectations and Access to Records (CLEAR) Act, clarifies that temporary organizations like DOGE are subject to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

“Given the breadth of power these organizations wield, they should be subject to the same standard of scrutiny and public information sharing that other agencies are beholden to,” stated the release.

DOGE was created by President Donald Trump through an executive order using an authority that allows the president to set up “temporary organizations.” Scholten introduced the legislation to make it clear that any organization created in that manner is automatically subject to FOIA requests.

Lol
 
Plot twist: Musk reinstated the racist DOGE guy who resigned. Of course.

Elon Musk reinstates ‘Doge’ worker linked to openly racist social media account

Will Musk have a swastika tattooed on his forehead tomorrow? He’s going out of his way to prove he’s fascist. 😆

JD Vance also chimed in his support for racists:

Musk’s decision to reinstate Elez comes after Musk asked users on X whether he should reinstate him, prompting JD Vance, the vice-president, to offer his support in a social media post that referred to Elez as “a kid” whose life was being “destroyed” by journalism.

What a pack of fuckwits.

so now trump/vance/musk are claiming divinity for 'forgiving' this deplorable's posting history?

"He will be brought back," Musk, the head of DOGE, wrote on X in response to Vance's recommendation.

"To err is human, to forgive divine," Musk wrote.

and here is trump, endorsing vance's recommendation without (he claims) knowing anything about the details and in his usual slippery fashion passing the buck so vance can be held to blame should things go to the shitter:

Less than an hour earlier, Trump was asked about the posts by the 25-year-old former staffer, Marko Elez, and Vance's opinion that he should be brought back to DOGE.
"Well, I don't know about the particular thing," Trump said during a press conference at the White House with Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba.

"But if the vice president said that — did you say that? — I'm with the vice president," Trump said.

judge blocks doge access to treasury data but it's only temporary as of now and, probably, too late:

Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly ruled that Musk and his team could no longer access Treasury data after he boasted on Monday about "rapidly shutting down" certain government remittances. The Treasury’s payment system handles trillions of dollars annually, covering vital programs like Social Security and Medicare. Musk had asserted that these payments were placing an excessive burden on the federal budget.

The court’s decision was driven by concerns over privacy violations. Federal employees and retirees filed a lawsuit arguing that sharing sensitive financial data with D.O.G.E. “deprives them of privacy protections guaranteed by federal law.” The judge responded with a temporary order preventing Musk’s team from further interaction with Treasury records.

The trash bin of history is filled with people that told Trump and Musk that they "couldn't" do something.
 

Democrats Panicked About DOGE Accessing Feds’ Computers But They Were OK With Communist China Accessing Feds’ Computers​

By Pamela Geller - on February 8, 2025

So Democrats were nonplussed when Communist Chinese successfully breached US Treasury Department workstations in what was a “major incident”. No media, no outrage, nothing. But they are in complete meltdown at the idea of an audit, of transparency. What are they hiding?

I was going to make buffalo wings this weekend, but there was a sign at the grocery store that Leon has eliminated the health agency that makes sure that it is safe.

So instead, we're just going to drink the beer I brewed.

"The greatest threat we've ever faced": US Treasury division classifies DOGE staff as extreme danger

"There is ongoing litigation, congressional legislation, and widespread protests relating to DOGE’s access to Treasury and the Bureau of the Fiscal Service,” the email reads, per the tech-focused outlet. "If DOGE members have any access to payment systems, we recommend suspending that access immediately and conducting a comprehensive review of all actions they may have taken on these systems."
Noting reports of DOGE staff locking out civil servants after gaining access to sensitive data, the email goes on to say that members of DOGE should be monitored as a threat to the Bureau of the Fiscal Service.

"There is reporting at other federal agencies indicating that DOGE members have performed unauthorized changes and locked civil servants out of the sensitive systems they gained access to,” the email reportedly says. “We further recommend that DOGE members be placed under insider threat monitoring and alerting after their access to payment systems is revoked. Continued access to any payment systems by DOGE members, even ‘read-only,’ likely poses the single greatest insider threat risk the Bureau of the Fiscal Service has ever faced.”

Singing to the choir. *chuckle*
 
Elon Musk is targeting programs that will barely make a dent

USAID's spending makes up 0.6% of the overall $6.9 trillion federal budget. That's like cutting out $464 a year (or almost 93 lattes) from the average American's $77,300 annual expenditures.

Musk also railed against the $8 million the government spends each year for subscriptions to Politico's premium paywalled content, a whopping 0.00000115942% of the federal budget, or the equivalent of 9 cents of the average American's spending.

The Clown Show administration is making tiny cuts and basking in the praise from gullible MAGA sheep.
