“DOGE” is led by an unelected person and is a task force, but it is not an official agency. Each time it is mentioned, it is normalized. For that reason, put it in quotes or refer to it another way. This should not be tolerated and is not an acceptable way of governing.
“People who must share information with the federal government should not be forced to share information with Elon Musk or his DOGE, and federal law says they do not have to.”
Article omits a critical point: DOGE is *not* an agency or department. It’s simply a group of people doing all kinds of illegal shit without oversight. Just because they call themselves a “department” doesn’t make it so.
Sadly, it is a real "service" within the White House, enabling them to give cretins employment and security clearance and the thinnest veneer of legal pretense. It needs to end, officially and actually.
THIS is how we do effective, not performative, resistance. Public Citizen is a great group w which I've fought Citizens United and made inroads in CA on public disclosure. Give them a hand here. They need support. ACLU, ProPublica are doing the resistance work we all want.

Take your "let's never do anything because it doesn't work" self sabotaging bullshit elsewhere
