By what act of Congress was DOGE given full control over the government? What law did anybody violate in blocking access by unauthorized people to sensitive systems?
I kinda think laws were broken when the Treasury Secretary let Elonia and his minions to put their nasty, un-vetted mitts on and take unsecured possession of the financial data of millions of US citizens, but maybe I’m just being paranoid and correct.
Suspect if Chad's giving this warning he's seen some shit that might actually be a viable criminal case, as in not dismissed the second it hits the docket.
If someone makes violent threats re a fed employee it’s a thing that can bring suits to the door. Threats ain’t rare (& has happened to ppl bc Musk posted abt them) but doesn’t gen rise to a visit or charges. It might not hold up in court but doesn’t mean this regime won’t fuck your life up trying
The bar for that isn't super high when it comes to threatening what the administration views as government officials. Even if it gets dismissed they might have raided your house and seized a bunch of stuff vaguely related to the threat first ( like the device you made it on )
who's suing trump and musk for allowing a bunch of techbros with no federal titles or security clearance access to sensitive personal and financial information of american citizens?
i haven't seen reports of any lawsuits but honestly everything is happening so fast and at such a volume it's quite possible i just missed it in the flurry. hopefully it's those two and a lot more!
Would love to see the look on Ed Martins face when learns that Musk did this exact same thing on Twitter in November.
named govt employees!
i don't think the statute of limitations has run out yet.
There is no such department and they are not government employees but Ed Martin was chosen for this role as fascist prosecutor specifically to make these demonstrations for intimidation.
Ed Martin seems to believe that DOGE is some branch of the U.S. Government, but isn't offering to protect the actual employees of the U.S. Government from the sycophants and drifters attacking them.
If we were "targeting" them, we'd know their addresses, favorite restaurants, names of any partners and names/locations of all businesses employing their family members. We would then target all those companies for boycotts. We can try that method, though.
If US Attorney Ed Martin is actually attempting to prosecute people for exercising their First Amendment rights, Congress should impeach him. Any member of Congress can file Articles of Impeachments. Who's willing to stand up for the First Amendment?
So I hope they move this from the sports page to a qualified sanewasher for Bezos to not adequately report the craziness and danger of this attack on speech and journalism.
To be clear, I was referencing our hard fought rights to seek a redress of our grievances and to speak out against the government, a right afforded us by our cherished First Amendment. And many people died securing those rights for us.
Even the ones who kept talking about civil war pictured a scenario where everyone gives up in advance and pudgy bros "win" by just walking in waving their guns.
They're terrified by any kind of resistance or opposition.
Great use of the FBI's time. Drug dealers, assorted thugs, white-collar dirt bags, child traffickers and foreign operatives all are happy the law enforcement focus is not on them.
Wait. They claim there is a special law that makes it illegal talk about them. Poor little babies got their fragile little egos bruised. Boo hoo. They can Fuck all the way off.
FYI--Sally Jenkins blocked me after I replied to her posts, and supported what you said.
Did not use any inappropriate language or personal insult.
She's had a great career, very respected reporter.
but I guess, that if you are WaPo or NYT---you shall not be criticized by the peons
DOGE isn't an agency. There's no law that protects Musk or anyone camping out in Federal buildings.
I'd actually argue that they are illegally squatting in Federal property and destroying Federal assets.
Foreign agents with no security clearances have perpetrated a cyberattack, are ransoming the economy, have our personal information, and the FBI is saying the media should be protecting their identities? They're not minors.
I wonder what Ed’s plan is if Patel isn’t confirmed (both UT senators are currently getting a lot of heat from their constituents who work for the FBI)
Leon says you are breaking the law. I say hogwash and balderdash! These guys are poorly reproduced "Clones". They are the new boy band, "The Cyber Nyngas" (Copywrite Law). Yeah, the "High Tech Boys". Thank you sir, and good day to you.
I just love a ballsy guy who isn’t afraid to thumb his nose at thick South African chicks who wear hair plugs, chin implants and a hat that looks disturbingly like Mango Mussolini.
Totally agree, the parroting scares the hell out of me. Doing your job well is not as important as currying his favor by sounding as much like him as possible. It seems like a really, really unpleasant way to live, which means they carry around that much more misery to be taken out on the rest of us
I thought trespassing on federal property was a crime? Maybe Martin could look into going after private citizens who didn’t have proper clearance but recently barged into sensitive government offices. I guess he’s not the kind of judge who cares about actual laws.
What law is that? If they're government employees, their names are public record by law. If they're not, they're trespassers, hackers, and domestic terrorists. Possibly traitors.
This is an illegitimate government and Elon Musk and his subordinates are violating the law with apparent impunity. If the law does not apply to one man, however rich he may be, then it applies to no one. Do not comply.✊
I like the part about Biden looking the other way Antifa and BLM and thugs with guns trashed the capital city. Out of context, wrong president. wrong people, but interesting rewrite of J6.
Anyway, if you have inside information on what's going on in Ed Martin's office, or otherwise unpublished info about Martin, I'm mandawritesthings at proton dot me, or DM me for other contact methods.
I published something in the intercept and the nation inauguration week, and tomorrow I’ll have another thing in the intercept. Working on a huge story for a different outlet but had to get a lawyer to help w foia compliance so not out yet.
JFC, there's dumb and then there's Trump employees dumb.
They can't be employees of a thing that doesn't exist. DOGE isn't a real fucking thing constitutionally speaking, so the people exposing them are simply exposing private citizens who are, with ZERO authority, stealing government data.
What are they authorized to do? Did they receive those authorizations before or after seizing government computer systems and locking actual government employees out of the building? 3/

Nothing wrong with drifters, obviously.
Give me a break 🙄
Nah, fuck that. This is still America and we killed people for the right to complain and name corrupt officials.
Even the ones who kept talking about civil war pictured a scenario where everyone gives up in advance and pudgy bros "win" by just walking in waving their guns.

He does know Trump just let all those Magats out of prison right? The mental gymnastics these people do should qualify them for the Olympics.
COME AND GET THIS DICK
Is that's what we're all thinking (In between fears of Jackbootery)?

hey are actually doing i
I “FEEL” like he is violating the law. I really FEEL like Elon is violating the law..
But then again, just try to prosecute someone for this... should make exposing Elon's extra-governmental activities pretty easy!

Fun times y'all.
