NEW: Some DOGE operatives are volunteers. Not all of them are, though. Some are making as much as long-tenured career civil servants, and at least one is making $195,200—as much as a civil servant can legally make. This is by @knibbs.bsky.social - ThreadSky

This makes for a great pairing with this story from @emilymullin.bsky.social and @zoeschiffer.bsky.social about how DOGE's $1 spending limit on federal credit cards is keeping scientists from buying liquid nitrogen to preserve priceless biological samples, park rangers from buying toilet paper, etc.

This is important because one of the way to effectively buy stuff is through the credit card purchase process. If not you have to go through the full procurement process which adds a ton of money.

We know a federal employee who made 35k a year and was cut on February 14 due to being probationary. Wow. I think I just found the waste, fraud and abuse in this Doge staffer.
