I mean it’s just the agency tasked with nuclear security, how bad can it be?
DOE's general counsel and IT offices told DOE Sec. Chris Wright that giving DOGE rep Luke Farritor IT access was a "bad idea" bc he hadn’t had a standard background investigation needed to access the department’s system, per a source. Wright granted him access anyways. www.cnn.com/2025/02/06/c...

time to primary your lazy senator, all you have to do is not say outright you are running (you are "launching an exploratory committee") and not spend $5,000 on it newrepublic.com/article/1909...
Primary Every Democrat
It’s exhausting to watch poll-tested, donor-beholden congressional Democrats continue to be too old, too cloistered, and too bumbling to do anything as the government burns.

The Department of Government Efficiency does not exist. This is an illegal theft of our personal data enabled by a Congress which won't do it's job and a media that continues to put out misleading messages like this.

in addition to musk stealing the data for his own purposes, I imagine that they think they can simply shut off payments to whoever doesn’t comply. I would not be shocked if they tried to turn off Social Security for an entire state of course that’s dissolution of the union territory.
NEW: Sources tell my office that Treasury Secretary Bessent has granted DOGE *full* access to this system. Social Security and Medicare benefits, grants, payments to government contractors, including those that compete directly with Musk's own companies. All of it.

There’s been a kind of…fashion of late to view anti-Trump libs as lame and cringe and just annoying, aesthetically. I remember this exact same aesthetic judgment in the run-up to the Iraq war. The earnest libs were right then and they’re right now.
