This Congress won't impeach Trump. If they were willing to, they would've already.
This Congress probably won't, but the next one might.
> 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 As it happens, there is a newer version of this project that was derived or “forked” from Ge0rg3’s code — called “async-ip-rotator” — and it was committed to GitHub in January 2025 by DOGE captain Marko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…

I hated Elon Musk long before it was cool: I was a fan of Tesla in the early days, and when I read Musk's "super-secret master plan" for Tesla I thought "yeesh, the board chairman is an idiot, where did they find this bozo?" (I knew a bit about SpaceX but somehow didn't make the connection.) That said, I was surprised to learn much later that, by all accounts, Elon Musk was a competent and resourceful leader in Space…
> That said, I was surprised to learn much later that, by all accounts, Elon Musk was a competent and resourceful leader in SpaceX's early days. Maybe these stories are just his personality cult in action, but I found it plausible He's good at having and raising money which was what SpaceX needed, I think he was probably the same then as he is now. Reading about his early days at Tesla and the PayPal stuff, I don't r…

The original complaint mentions: "7. March 3rd - I received a call during which an ACIO stated instructions were given that we were not to adhere to SOP with the doge account creation in regards to creating records. He specifically was told that there were to be no logs or records made of the accounts created for DOGE employees." Which part of doing an audit, or some other DOGE employee's job, requires logs or record…

Ok, arguing with DOGE on their own terms… I confess I’m not knowledgeable with these systems, but how do you even trust it when it tells you you’re the “Tenant Admin”? Why would the deep state be unable to fabricate such a role that looks like the real one but is still lying to you? I did enough research to assume this is a Microsoft thing, so you might be viewing a Microsoft domain signed by a Microsoft SSL cert, and trust that Microsoft is telling you you’re really the highest admin. But… we’re talking a vast conspiracy with billions on the line… why would a true-believer DOGE crusader not believe there are also deep state agents in Microsoft, the certificate authorities, and ISPs?
Asking for Tenant Admin or whatever magic term seems like a start to get “the truth”, but completely inadequate to actually take down “the deep state.”
Of course, that’s the beauty of it. A super-powerful, secret enemy can never be vanquished, so they’re always a great excuse to take the next step to demolish the real government and trample the rights of the people.
"Tim Bearese, the NLRB's acting press secretary, denied that the agency granted DOGE access to its systems and said DOGE had not requested access to the agency's systems. Bearese said the agency conducted an investigation after Berulis raised his concerns but "determined that no breach of agency systems occurred."

I don't follow. Are you saying the DOGE boys are trying to give Trump bad press?
The theory I'm seeing is that they are creating an excuse to try to drum up public support for expanding use of AI in government under the guise of security. You already have people in this very thread and every DOGE thread playing Elon's advocate. Give them a vague reason like security and I'm sure they'll be onboard with no questions asked.
Why does it increase support for AI in government?

Why would the Russians do this when Trump won the election. Isn't that the best outcome for them related to Ukraine? >furthers distrust between the two sides of our country - which is something they gain from How?
The best outcome for them and other potential powerful forces is an America so roiled by internal conflict that it can’t now or ever do anything. Yeah Trump winning seems to help them in Ukraine but their need is disruption as much as different policy in the longer term.
This is much ado about nothing. The article tries to very hard to make something ordinary sound nefarious. This appears to be DOGE employees simply doing their job. You may not agree with what they’re doing in a political sense, but if you were tasked with the same problem you’d come up with a nearly identical solution. For example: “tenant admin” is probably the special role that can bypass access control (not audit…
I have taken part in audits for several organizations over the years, and I can assure you that's not how audits are done at all. In fact, should the auditor find there is a way for them to access sensitive data without it being logged, they will flag it immediately. That would be the case even under simple financial regulation. There is absolutely the risk that the people you audit will lie to you or present you wit…
All of the public complaining is by staff that don’t understand their new position in the pecking order.
There is a King in charge and he cares not for the wailing of the petty nobles.
