This is literally nothing - visualizing an org chart using D3 (a JS dataviz library), playing around with open source geospatial datasets, and a Twitter DM downloader for personal use. Look at the screenshots, not the description by this "politics reporter" who seems to be indulging in evidence-free witch hunts.
Works created by U.S. federal government employees as part of their official duties are in the public domain, according to 17 U.S.C. § 105, except for classified or restricted information (but none of what he posted is classified or restricted)

How dare we call the vindictive, spiteful, name calling president currently destroying our country names! > weaponization of government against conservatives The government is clearly being weaponized against anyone who has ever opposed Trump in any way. You are in a reality tunnel.
The OP is not. He’s calling someone working on a project, posting his code to GitHub names. The correct response in a democratic society to people attacking political enemies as enemies of the state, spreading untruths, attacking the rule of law, and acting like assholes is _to not do these these things_.

evidence free witch-hunts. Hm. I wonder where else I've seen that recently.

By the way it seems most of the stuff I produce for the government contains copyright notices. I don't know if those notices are valid or not, but none of the stuff I produce is in the public domain or released to the public.

He's not looking at, he's gathering
I gather things like this all the time. I'm against DOGE as much as 90% of the US is, but collection of open data for curiosity and interest is really not a thing to focus on.
Why is it suddenly part of the job description of a junior DOGE employee to build workforce org chart visualization tools and investigate strategic resource datasets? Isn’t that weird to have one brand new government employee doing self-taught random investigations of topics as complex as ‘government workforce management’ and ‘strategic resource analytics’?

> my understanding is, they will do literally anything to make sure DOGE succeeds, because a failure is basically unacceptable They have shown over and over that they are after a good story, not good results. They’re going for shock factor and they’re pumping out propaganda at an alarming rate. We’ve seen so many hyperbolic claims of rampant fraud with zero evidence. At the same time, they’ve had to remove the bigges…
>Numerous other claims have been shown to account for entire contract amounts, even though they only cancelled the remaining balance of the contract. They are building this live and it's been a month as a side quest. They have fixed those issues that you have said, and have been updating the website, fixing different pricing, etc. etc. every single day. They have not been preparing for months... that's not how system…
A bit tangent, and since I’m an outsider who doesn’t live in the states and have no skin in the game — my understanding is, they will do literally anything to make sure DOGE succeeds, because a failure is basically unacceptable. I can’t even imagine how you can backtrack this, and fix stuff up. They obviously prepared for it months in advance. Targeting ex-employees of successful product companies and putting them in…
