NEW: DOGE demanded full access to a US Department of the Interior system that handles even the Supreme Court's paychecks. When top staff asked questions, they were put on leave.

According to sources, DOGE operatives said they specifically sought levels of permissions that would give them the ability to create, pause, and delete email accounts. Granting the request would require them each to be given an essentially God-mode level of access to the entire system architecture.

“These people,” says one source at DOI who worries that DOGE affiliates could inadvertently destroy parts of the nearly 30-year-old FPPS, stop paychecks, or allow for a breach of the entire system, “have no idea what they’re doing.”
