Burgum's order illegally cedes power to the Assistant Secretary for Policy, Management, and Budget. That position has not been filled by a Senate confirmed pick, but is where DOGE oil exec Tyler Hassen has been installed.

“If Doug Burgum doesn’t want his job, he should quit now,” said Jennifer Rokala with the Center for Western Priorities.

"Instead, it looks like Burgum plans to sit by the fire eating warm cookies while Elon Musk’s lackeys dismantle our national parks and public lands."

Sitting for a Fox News interview alongside Musk and other DOGE members in March, Hassen said his team was reviewing “every single contract, every single grant” at Interior. Hassen has been scrutinizing all grants and contracts worth $50,000 or more.

A second DOGE aide named Matt Luby has been deciding whether to approve new spending and has requested access to GrantSolutions, the internal system used to control all grant awards. Luby is the chief of staff and childhood friend of Vivek Ramaswamy.

Hassen has sought for his DOGE goons to have access to a major personnel payroll system housed at Interior that serves more than 50 agencies and 276,000 employees across the federal government. He was blocked by Interior Associate Solicitor Tony Irish, who was then put on leave.

This worries me, especially in the context of the dystopian “freedom cities” some tech oligarchs propose building, as regulation-free, “hyper-innovation zones.” I feared they might seize (or pretend to buy) federal land for that purpose. No doubt they’ll mine and deforest and exploit lands as well.

Every day it's another impeachment-level action with these clowns.

Congress could stop this at any time if they wanted to.

They don't want it to stop. They're all Nazi fucks who will financially benefit and gain power from this. We're basically watching the privatization of public assets that happened in post-Soviet Russia, only this was voted for by the moronic American public. B

Read project 25, they want to drill the parks for oil and gas! Everything they are doing is incredulous but set out in project 25. Trump has a 180 day plan and has achieved a lot of it already.
