A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data
A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

He’s already broken the law by offering the bribes. Arrest him.
Elon Musk’s offer of checks from $100 to $1 million to Wisconsinites prior to Tuesday’s election faces a major legal challenge, as Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul seeks a restraining order barring Musk "from making any payments to Wisconsin electors to vote."

Still wondering about all the people that refused to vote got what they wanted?
Do they feel heard, have their "grievances" been addressed?
Do they feel buyer's remorse?
Or do they enjoy watching the country being overtaken by the very same people they, supposedly, have grievances with?

Our Gov. needed restructuring, sure, but not with a mallet and no plan.
Even then, what Musk & Trump are doing won't give us a better Gov.. It'll be slower, inefficient, and powerless to help it's citizens.
Exactly how oligarchs like it.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.
