DOGE ‘doesn’t exist’ with eight months left on its charter, and the echoes of this claim reverberate with a certain chilling resonance. It’s a statement that, in the context of certain discussions, becomes less about the literal absence of a thing and more about the perceived end of an era, the fading of a presence that once loomed large. The assertion, it seems, arises from a complex narrative, a story interwoven with accusations of data theft, regulatory interference, and the potential for long-term damage, all of which culminate in a picture of an entity whose core purpose may have been fulfilled.… Continue reading
Two Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) employees, Luke Farritor and Adam Ramada, reportedly gained access to classified networks containing highly sensitive nuclear weapons information. While a Department of Energy spokesperson denies this, two anonymous sources with network access confirmed the employees’ presence on the NNSA Enterprise Secure Network and SIPRNet. Although access itself doesn’t guarantee access to all data, this represents an escalation of DOGE’s influence within the agency and a potential security risk. The incident follows other concerns regarding DOGE’s handling of sensitive data in other government agencies.

Internal GSA records reveal that sensitive government documents, potentially including classified White House floor plans and bank information, were inadvertently shared with over 11,000 employees across both the Trump and Biden administrations. This oversharing, spanning at least four years, involved a Google Drive folder containing files marked as “controlled unclassified information” but requiring protection. The incident prompted a cybersecurity investigation and corrective action, but highlights a pattern of careless handling of sensitive data across multiple administrations. While the classification of some documents remains unclear, the breach underscores a need for enhanced digital security training within the federal government.

Congress is in an uproar. The revelation of a massive security breach within the Trump administration, involving the leaking of sensitive information via the messaging app Signal, has ignited a firestorm of outrage. The sheer carelessness displayed is being described as unacceptable, with calls for accountability echoing throughout the halls of power. The gravity of the situation cannot be overstated; this isn’t just a minor administrative oversight.
This incident goes far beyond a simple case of miscommunication or a misplaced email. The use of Signal itself raises serious red flags. The app’s encryption features, while beneficial for privacy, also create challenges for record-keeping and oversight, raising concerns about intentional circumvention of federal laws designed to ensure transparency and accountability in government operations.… Continue reading
Government workers at a US agency have reportedly been locked out of their computer systems by aides working for Elon Musk. This situation is deeply concerning, raising serious questions about national security and data privacy. The affected systems include a massive database, the Enterprise Human Resources Integration system, which holds incredibly sensitive information on government employees, including birth dates, Social Security numbers, performance reviews, home addresses, salary details, and years of service.
The lack of transparency surrounding Musk’s aides’ actions is alarming. Government officials have stated that they have no visibility into what these individuals are doing with the computer and data systems, creating significant cybersecurity risks and the potential for hacking.… Continue reading
