This Treasury letter does not contradict reporting by WIRED & TPM. It says "Treasury staff members working with Tom Krause" have read-only access, and "all operational processes" are conducted by Treasury staff.

That doesn't deny DOGE has admin and altered code.

home.treasury.gov/news/press-r...

To be clear, the agency responsible for making the payment always drives the payment process. Currently, Treasury staff members working with Tom Krause, a Treasury employee, will have read-only access to the coded data of the Fiscal Service’s payment systems in order to continue this operational efficiency assessment. This is similar to the kind of access that Treasury provides to individuals reviewing Treasury systems, such as auditors, and that follows practices associated with protecting the integrity of the systems and business processes.

Mr. Krause is conducting this effort in coordination with veteran career Treasury officials, and all operational processes continue to be conducted only by career Treasury staff in accordance with all standard security, safety, and privacy standards.

Jane Austen with some very relatable feels. I have just drawn this page for my forthcoming #graphicbiography #JaneAusten #actuallyautistic

I will be as civil to these people as their bad breath will allow (these are all Austen quotes, from her letters)

I hate tiny parties. They force one into constant exertion.

There is a monstrous deal of common-place nonsense talked, but scarcely any Wit
