Its galling and all the more so because these same people are the toughest people in the world when dealing with regular people. They have no problem embodying authority with you or me.

"So far, it’s working: The DOGE teens — no matter how ridiculous their backstories or racist their posts — have swiftly been granted sweeping access to sensitive data and systems, including the Treasury systems that handle trillions of dollars in payments, longstanding federal laws be damned."
Why, though?! Yes! Fucking call Elon, waste absolutely ALL of his time having 20 year olds whine to him about how they can’t get access to the country’s checkbook without their yelly uncle coming down to the dealership!
Also, if they just hand the phone over with Elon yelling? Nope, sorry. Could be anyone on that phone. Sir, you’re going to have to come out to the department HQ so security can clear your credentials before we follow up on anything this poofy-haired teen says.
A great many civil service employees have been pretty courageous in the face of stuff being thrown at them right now. Let’s try not to crap all over them
I don’t think those scrawny twerps are the only ones in there. Didn’t they hire Blackwater guards or something?
Perhaps y’all should focus on getting your elected officials to go to these locations and order any trespassers to depart. No one cares if civil servants get arrested trying to make em leave. But elected officials. That’s a story and a court case.
Probably because you don't have an ambiguous position in the chain of command because your boss has problematic executive authority from the President of the United States.
Where are the actual federal security guards when these rent a pigs and their teen bully handler show up? “Officer, this child is trespassing. Escort him outside please.” That should have been enough to end this farce on day 1.
I really don't think you understand. The chain of command is a mess. Their authority is ambiguous. If you want to demand that kind of action, tell a senator to do it. That's their job.
Elon Musk has full control of the country and our military. He bought America for $250m when he bought a bloated rapist con who conned willfully ignorant Americans. Trump is and always has been a low information grifter that even a 4 year old can see.

Why the hell is “I’ll call Elon” working?!?
MAKE THEM DO EVERY GODDAMN STEP.
It's called bureaucratic friction.
Force them to do every step in their process.
Bureaucracies exist to protect institutions. Bureaucratic process exist to protect the bureaucracy.
If the goal is to protect vital institutions, use every available process and procedure.
