On Friday, a federal judge extended the temporary restraining order that bars DOGE staffers from accessing US Treasury data. The proceeding lifted the veil on just how little is known about DOGE’s access to information—and where it has gone.

Really not gonna feel an ounce of sympathy as they idly stand by and let people get removed from fudning like Snap, Medicaid, Research Grants, Social Security or simply let their existence be outlawed, as with Gender Arlffirming Care.
Gillibrand on WNYC today said one reason they're all falling in line is that they get death threats.
cassidy changing his tune after what he said on the senate floor is what has upgraded my position from "they are being bribed" or "they are worried about primary challenges" to "they are worried about being murdered"
