Think about it. DOGE has existed for less than 2 months and somehow says that it has already created enough records that it would take 3 years to release them in response to @crew.bsky.social's FOIA lawsuit.
This is an absolutely staggering level of stalling from a group of tech geniuses.

DOGE, paragon of efficiency, says it would take three years to respond to @crew.bsky.social's FOIA request for records - even on an expedited basis.
This is one of the clearest signs yet DOGE isn't serious about efficiency - or transparency.

It would be easier to achieve "maximum transparency" if DOGE's tech geniuses didn't need three years to release eight weeks worth of records in response to a FOIA request.

We hope that news outlets Trump punishes by restricting their access to briefings, signings and the like will take the opportunity to double down on hard-hitting investigations that don’t require access to ceremonies and spin sessions.
