Mary Trump - The Further Depredations of DOGE

Anybody paying attention knows that DOGE, the acronym for the wildly misnamed Department of Governmental Efficiency, has been a disaster since the day this illegal, unconstitutional agency was created out of whole cloth without Congress's approval.

Thanks to a revelatory report from a whistleblower, Daniel Berulis we're starting to see just how many treacherous and potentially illegal actions the people at DOGE are committing.

Yesterday morning, NPR released a deep dive into the shady practices revealed Doge's by Berulis which include the theft of sensitive government data.

Here's how Jake Tapper summarized the allegations on CNN:

[A] whistleblower is coming forward with claims that Doge not only accessed data from his agency but also took a substantial amount of sensitive data with them. According to a disclosure shared with Congress: ‘around 10 gigabytes of data,’ or ‘the equivalent of a full stack of encyclopedias’ worth if someone printed these files as hard copy documents.
