The GPO, which answers to Congress and not the executive branch, flatly refused. DOGE was told to get lost. One more agency that stood its ground!

HUD concluded a Texas state agency had steered $1B in disaster funding away from Houston and nearby communities of color after Hurricane Harvey.

On Jan. 15, HUD referred the case to the DOJ.

On Feb. 13, it rescinded that referral with no explanation.

Another fun detail: the person who's doing this is a flunky from X, aka a Musk employee and not a federal employee--and I suspect not legally able to terminate these contracts. Note that last totally from Mars sentence in the screenshot.

Also it's kind of a distraction from this emergency but the way newspaper are making a shocking emergency sound boring and bureaucratic, which they've been doing since last Monday's attempt to stop all federal funding, is really something. Make sure your fire alarm sounds like crickets.

Not saying he’ll take anything from your account—just saying it’s never wise to leave a key lying around. More concerned about data being accidentally leaked due to poor handling.

If you have a pending tax refund, consider leaving the account open but moving your assets to a new account. Once the payment is processed, transfer any remaining funds from the old account.

Suggestion to Americans: If you used a current bank account with funds on a recent tax return, it may be wise to contact your bank and request a change. Account and routing numbers are accessible, and Elon Musk’s staff have access to this information. Stay safe and protect your assets.
