Question is: WHAT ARE THEY DOING WITH THE DATA? Loading it into xAI most likely… when Elon “leaves” DOGE he will have a back door into all the systems and be able to manage them via AI interfaces
DOGE is a criminal conspiracy to defraud the people of the United States
Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

Elon and Strom share a disdain for empathy. They also share disdain for any form of “Reconstruction” … because righting historical wrongs imposes a tyranny on the present.

If a law firm won't risk everything to defend itself, what makes you think it will risk anything to defend you?
My advice: Find a law firm that will not back down and will never bend a knee.

This phase cuts staff to the bone, to engineer massive failings in the system.
Phase II will be pointing to those failings as reason to privatize.
But, this is the beginning of the end of Social Security.

Elon crowed about cutting $250mm from the feds budget. Hooray for Musky.
It’s 0.0001% of the $2T he said he’d cut.
We’ll done. Your feral transhuman teenagers shock-trooped a sleepy bureaucracy into coughing up potato chip crumbs from under the couch cushions.
Try NASA next and see what they find
