Summary
Three federal employee unions have sued the Trump administration, alleging Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent unlawfully granted Elon Muskās full access to confidential federal payment systems.
The lawsuit claims this access endangers millions of Americansā personal data. Meanwhile, officials resisting Dogeās demands faced consequences, including suspension.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called Doge an āunelected shadow government.ā
Trump has defended Muskās role, insisting his actions require White House approval.
If foreign actors were breaking into these systems, in the same manner that Musk and his cadre of techno brownshirts are right now, they would be dragged out into the street and executed.
The least we can do is hold this administration accountable for who these people are and what steps are being taken to document what they are doing and what security measures are being followed. Of course none of that is being done. The brownshirts are anonymous, unvetted and unaccountable. Their actions are not being documented. They are not following any security procedures. Remember the years of outrage Fox and its NPC audience lathered on about the security implications of Hillaryās private email server? What is happening right now is many orders of magnitude more dangerous and insecure and illegal. It has profound and direct implications for every American right now.
We need to stop hoping for a legal resolution to the violence being perpetrated by this administration and its private wrecking crew headed by Elon Musk. We need to identify the actors, dox them. Physically intervene if needed. Every fucking elected Democrat should be spitting into a microphone, today.
Again, imagine a foreign actor riffling through these sensitive systems. If you take comfort in knowing that the president and Musk would never let a foreign actor have such access, then you should be more freaked out than anyone given the unaccountable way this is going down. How do you know that Muskās organization isnāt compromised?
Technically heās South Africanā¦which makes him literally a foreign agent
Damn, and they threw such a fit about Hillaryās emailsā¦
As much as I like karmic justice, Unions are going to be very important for resistance on all fronts, so I personally will retain my union bashing for the police unions who donāt just want higher pay and benefits for their members (even if their version of that pursuit is incredibly susceptible to manipulation).
Muskās DOGE squad pulling a digital smash-and-grab on federal data? Color me shocked. Trumpās lackeys greenlit this dumpster fire, tossing Social Security numbers to a crew that probably still uses āpassword123ā . Unions finally sued? Cool, but whereās the FBI?
Letās unpack: A Treasury honcho said āNO,ā so Bessent yeeted him and let Muskās interns (literal teenagers) root through IRS files like a Black Friday sale . Now some 25-year-old ādirectorā (read: Twitter intern promoted) controls my paycheck? Sure, what could go wrong.
Congress: crickets until the lawsuits hit. Peak bureaucracy. Meanwhile, Chinaās hackers are taking notes like itās finals week .
Takeaway: Muskās āefficiencyā = selling your data to fund his Mars timeshare. Wake up, sheepleāthis isnāt sci-fi, itās corporate feudalism with a Tesla logo.
I refuse to call it doge and every self respecting human should do the same
If you showed me this headline 10 years ago, Iād have guessed it was a mad lib. This timeline is crazy in a bad way.
