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.

Unbelievable...hackers having access to everything that keeps this country running. If we ever get through this, some MAJOR laws need to be put in place to prevent another coup

I don't know how we will stop this, but we have to. What they have done, are doing-is not about fraud, or waste and it is certainly not about efficiency. These boys are dangerously ignorant, and we need to take our country back.

“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.”

Revoke their ldap access, enable password generation daily for them just for fun, and mandate 100 character passphrases. If using a mainframe, just disable super user USS access and / or remove the OMVS segment. Enable tls 1.2 minimum and force certificate checks. It's all in the name of security.

And if you want more general context on WTH is going on, WIRED spoke with more than 150 current and former federal employees, experts, and Musk supporters across more than 20 agencies to expose the inner workings of DOGE. Inside Elon Musk's 'digital coup':

wired.comInside Elon Musk’s ‘Digital Coup’Musk’s loyalists at DOGE have infiltrated dozens of federal agencies, pushed out tens of thousands of workers, and siphoned millions of people’s most sensitive data. The next step: Unleash the AI.

Dems couldn’t be anymore helpless if they were tied bound and gagged on the railroad track. DOGE may as well lay them all off too. They obviously aren’t doing anything.

From what I read about the background of The Dodge employees they could pass the background checks to hold these jobs. How can they legally get access to these documents? Does Donnie give them clearance?

I thought only Congress has the power of the purse. will these maga cowards in congress hand this power over? To everyone? To themselves? They cannot be human to offer themselves as slaves to a demon who has no humanity. What will Jesus Christ, their God, say when they come to that time?

Outrage after outrage—how many Republican seats do we have to get back to at least get Congress strong enough to be able to address this shit? We are going to have so much damage to repair. Again.

👆🏾👇🏾”NUEVO: DOGE exigió acceso total a un sistema del Departamento del Interior de EE. UU. que maneja incluso los cheques de pago de la Corte Suprema. Cuando el personal de alto nivel hizo preguntas, fueron suspendidos.”

Ok SCOTUS, they’re after you now, and you still have some authority. What’s your play? When is it time to show court orders from all levels have teeth, and shut Musk and DOGE down with extreme prejudice? They’re mocking all courts by ignoring orders and breaking laws faster than cases can open

Sometimes, I'm grateful my very liberal brother, who worked at Interior and had a volatile temper, passed away years ago. He died of non-small cell cancer & had a very specific window of time alloted him. He'd probably have come up with a less-than-legal way of dealing with these imposters 🫤

There is no honest reason to do it this way, right? Why the rush w/no operating inspectors generals to watch for criminality? Why not have observers that all Americans can trust? Why the secrecy? Why the conflicts-of-interest that are ignored? Smells bad. Read bad. Grifters run amok.

They have NO BOTTOM! Their appetite for power is bottomless! What happened with EAT THE RICH? Because right now they are literally FEASTING ON ALL OF US. It is so ridiculous, and NOT FUNNY . . . But this post made me laugh 😂 until I cried with anxiety, frustration and HOPELESSNESS. 😢😭

What the fuck are we doing? Get the capital police over there and don’t let them into these departments. Use force if necessary arrest Trump these capital police would want to arrest Trump ha. I bet they would arrest him in a minute.

So Trump has Elon& his group of gangland terrorists going after all Dept of Interior info with edit power over payrolls, email accounts.. Where are their fucking top security clearances? Elon NOT a God; his kiddie terrorists definitely are NOT either. Lock up that bastard. He's out of control

One wonders how the despot's bromantic partners, Thomas & Alito . . . and by default, Roberts, feel about this. More importantly, the DOI manages natural resources, cultural heritage, & fulfilling responsibilities to Native American & Alaskan tribes. Think: DEI.

There’s no turning back. There will be nothing worth saving after they have had their slimy, poisonous tentacles in/over/under ever nook and cranny of everything we held dear as a nation . Let’s get out of here‼️

This is *wrong* and DOGE is *wrong*. This is what authoritarian govts do. Is Musk/DOGE authoritarian? Sure looks like it! One must always question authority when asked to do something *Illegal* or *immoral* or *unethical*. Musk is broken, but moral boundaries do matter.

Canadian here, really confused, bc no one voted for Elon or any of those on payroll at DOGE, or the woman who apparently IS in charge of DOGE (but no one told her she was?). Who directs the actions of DOGE employees, who ensures the act within the law, and who put other gov. Employees on leave?

Trump said Musk is not head of DOGE. Musk Said DOGE isn't a GOV dept. So acting as if it has authority, threatening staff with fake "marshalls" to get the to give access to computers is fraud. Locking computers is data theft. All are crimes that should be charged

emoluments are prohibited in the constitution. so they cannot be an official act. he just had press of Finland visit Mar-a-lago Finland paid for it so its an emolument. DOJ won't press charges but individuals can file suit asking for relief. That may be money or Trump divesting from business

why do people keep thinking the laws apply to his administration? They don't care about the Constitution look at all the shit they've been doing so far scotus, fbi, doj, sod, etc. all in trumps pocket fyi a coup is also prohibited, but that didn't stop anybody on Jan 6th AND they got away with it
