Or they think what they're doing is righteous and they're proud of it. It isn't - DOGE is responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths through cuts to health programs - but I suspect they are deluding themselves into thinking it is.

#143I don't see anything wrong with what they did, they basically got admin accounts so they can peak into the system and used some libraries from github. What is the problem here? Got a feeling it is just politically motivated, people are not happy that the Trump administration is actually doing something to make systems more efficient and stop money waste of tax payers. I am sure they will make some mistakes along the way and I am sure not every "saving" is actually saving but when you look at so many systems and so much money some errors are expected.

We'll see. The thing about the law in the US, it's slow and heavy. You'll need to be pretty mighty to move it if it catches up to you.
Justice delayed is justice denied.

This is just USAID. It's not even considering the cuts to HHS or other agencies.

#147> Ge0rg3’s code is “open source,” in that anyone can copy it and reuse it non-commercially. As it happens, there is a newer version of this project that was derived or “forked” from Ge0rg3’s code — called “async-ip-rotator” — and it was committed to GitHub in January 2025 by DOGE captain Marko Elez. Original code: https://github.com/Ge0rg3/requests-ip-rotator Forked: https://github.com/markoelez/async-ip-rotator Code…
The fork has been deleted it seems.

#148So what exactly is being alleged here? That these DOGE bros wrote and used “hacker” code from GitHub to bypass security limitations on NLRB data? Why would they even need to do that if they had superuser accounts in the system already?

The people who need to see/understand this live in a different reality where uncomfortable things like this are ETL'd into righteous anger towards people they don't like. This is the deep state they've been worried about, this is the boot that will tread on them. EDIT: parent comment was highest ranked comment for the article and is now at the bottom?
A twisted justification for suggesting someone who broke serious laws not face consequences. We live in a nation of laws, whether or not conspiracy-minded individuals prefer to follow them.
That law now officially includes an individual who is immune from the law and who can issue pardons to anyone for anything. So you live in a nation with optional laws.

I also love to unilaterally determine what is and isn’t necessary.
Are you suggesting that’s a valuable use of time? I make decisions about such tradeoffs every day.
I’m suggesting that a $5 purchase abs a critical government agency’s infosec are different considerations.
