A fun detail in this story is that the government can’t keep straight how many of these people have passed background checks. One filing says eight have; another, attached to it, says four.

Probably none.

I’m gonna go with none.
None of these people have passed the background checks necessary to access this sort of material.

Or the training required for access requirements.

I think about my little hourly job for Census 2010, and the commitment I had to make — on penalty of prison — for the rest of my life not to reveal any of the information I gathered to anyone outside the census.

And then I see these little shits rampaging through our data.

My friend administered that oath in a previous census. She did the fingerprinting of folks all over the country, too. We do amazing weird things in gov, and under penalty if we do it wrong or badly. The traitor tots have no such accountability.

We also had to take an oath to the Constitution to work even our little 6-week Census gig. Every single one of us in that room took that oath more seriously than Trump or any one of these traitors working for him.

All this sh*t that has been and is currently doing by DOGE is f*cking illegal!!!!!

They’re stealing American tax payers money!!!!

If they can’t verify deaths, doesn’t that delay benefits for kids and spouses?

And Musk is so worried about dead people still getting benefits. These people are incompetent.
