Since Trump has claimed Elon doesn’t run DOGE, we wanted to make sure you know who is running our government. This list has been updated with 15 names.

Watched 60 Minutes this evening and this situation is terrifying. This group have not gone through background checks and have no experience in the functionality of the departments. US employees are being fired with little notice and no due process. Elon runs DOGE. Trump lies for sport.
If anyone is looking for resources, ready-to-use social posts, or anything to help spread the word on the Economic Blackout this Friday, feel free to use this toolkit I put together.
You are damn right. The taxpayers pay all government salaries. They are supposed to work for us, but they only work for themselves to use the American taxpayers as their own personal piggy bank.
Wait, Are you saying that DOGE is a real department or agency? By saying DOGE employees are employed by the American public, are you saying they are getting paid for destroying lives, careers, and jobs?
I don't recall ever hearing about, nor do I recall ever voting for such, please enlighten me.
They're not a real department, but they absolutely are employed by the American public. Pretty much everyone in government, from police to politicians, are employed by americans.
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has several Musk staffers, including Amanda Scales, Brian Bjelde, Stephen Duarte, Christina Hanna, Bryanne-Michelle Mlodzianowski, Greg Hogan, and Austin Raynor.
At the General Services Administration (GSA), Stephen Ehikian, Thomas Shedd, Nate Cavanaugh, Nicole Hollander, and Kyle Schutt have taken key roles. The Treasury Department now includes Tom Krause and Marko Elez.
DOGE led by Steve Davis, Brad Smith, and Katie Miller, while DOGE engineers include Alexandra “Aly” Beynon, Riccardo Biasini, Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier “Cole” Killian, Gavin Kliger, Nikhil Rajpal, Ethan Shaotran, Christopher Stanley, Jordan Wick, and Kendall M. Lindemann.
Lawyers James Burnham, Keenan Kmiec, Noah Peters, and Jacob Altik (Executive Office of the President) have been identified. Other DOGE-affiliated staff include Anthony Armstrong, Jennifer Balajadia, Stephanie Holmes, and Adam Ramada.
Additionally, federal roles now include Ryan Riedel as Chief Information Officer at the Department of Energy, Michael Russo as Chief Information Officer at the Social Security Administration, and Rachel Riley as a Senior Adviser at HHS.
The lawyers need to have bar complaints filled against them for anything illegal, frivolous, or in violation of any rule of professional responsibility. There are blatant illegal actions being taken by this administration.
@altnps.bsky.social oki doki I'll start researching the names and businesses they are associated with so we can #boycott. Anyone out there who wants to help with research I appreciate you. Let's make sure sources are credible and we got the right people.
Does anyone know of an Alt GSA group? We are getting destroyed and being used as the test agency for the rest of the government take over. GSA employees have been terrorized since Jan 21.
How are any of these people qualified and have any of them gotten security clearances. Although I know drumpf can unilaterally give some security clearance.
I want to see a deep dive into each of these federal employees by name in @nytimes.com to make up for how they contributed to this. And I want to see it in @rollingstone.com

Collaborate. Work together to out each of these fascists
They always forget Marko Elez! Wired outed him though. Good for them. Keep fighting the good fight & VOTE in midterms like it’s your job,because it is. 3 seats from a Democratic majority! VOTE
What we have is a Christo-Fascist oligarchy. Trump has no interest in governance. He's a figurehead. The real power is with conservative organizations like Heritage and the billionaires.
If you want your country back, I'm afraid you're gonna have to fight for it. Most people don't realize that.
We write and sell horror fiction by trade. That said, there is a deep and real horror to this image, something far more macabre than we could ever imagine--because it's real.
The names alone say comic book evil villain reference to me. Trump - like trumping up something, making something out of nothing. Musk - that funky smell that makes you curl your nose and want it to go away.
Yes! In 2016 when the election results were announced, my eight year old asked me if people in the UK would call him “president fart.” Probably way worse than that, I said.
DOGE has neutered Congress and I don't think they have fully realized it yet. Congress has lost control of the nation's wealth and all of it's systems of distribution. They won't wake up until their project in their district, is denied access to allocated funds and by then, it will be too late.

FREE Speech
Everyone watched
There wasn't an
AMERICAN
MAN
in the
audience
The series called "Hitler's Generals" (AKA "Hitler's Henchmen") comes to mind. The German people did not save themselves from the Third Reich. Americans must seize the opportunity now.
DOGE laying off yet they hire their own staff. And wonder how much they get paid? And all the money made by Musk and Trump. BILLIONS. Not to mention the millions of dollars spent for golfing, Super Bowl, Race track, etc.
Remember when we were surprised to see Park Rangers leading the resistance during the felon's first term? It's beyond belief that they had to step up again, but here we are.... grateful for each of you who protect our natural resources by providing information, inspiration and leadership.
Elon Gate hearings next and Trump will be impeached. Will the people have representation? Not by an Oligarch or an entertainer? These younger Americans have not been educated in civics or the Constitution, how can they be leading the country?
And there are more hiding in offices across the CDC, FDA, USDA, NIH… who came in after the hiring freeze and filled positions that were not previously there. Staff are wondering how they made it through and what their job is and why they are suddenly in all of our meetings ….
Boy would Trump hate you seeing these names. Wouldn’t it be awful if someone found these people who are actively attacking America and let them know that America knows who they are and that they are subversives and terrorists against their country. Gosh, don’t boycott them everywhere they go
One would think so. Should not be an odd request since government salaries are publicly available for "regular" employees (at least by level and years of service)
There’s no transparency here ! It’s a lie - this is taken from the Trump playbook - and we fall for this crap all the time -
It’s an APPEARANCE of an audit . For sensationalized lies to feed his base - and justify the gutting of important agencies - - because they need 4 trillion 4 tax cuts
You need to start publishing contact details so they can be contacted, so they get to know the opposition. They must have context details surely if their govt employees
I will say, it's nice to see so many young women in prominent STEM roles...
Would be nice if they weren't destroying America, but still, ...go feminism?
Musk doesn't run anything. How else can he claim he runs Tesla, SpaceX, Twitter, Boring Company, DOGE, and have time to be a "top 10" online gamer in _2_ super competitive games, and sire kids all over America? He just tosses money and bosses people around. #GlassOnion #ElonFraud
Musk is a parasite and none of his organizations need him. He just leeches money from others' work. Musk should be "DOGE'd" and remove him as the enormous financial inefficiency he is.
You forgot his 24/7 job—posting on social media—and Neuralink.
I REALLY think his multi-billion ($44.9B? $46B? $56B?) pay package from Tesla is far too high considering he works for multiple employers and only shows up in person on a regular basis for the Oval Office job.
For those of you who don't know, you can use sites like this one: (https://www.truepeoplesearch.com/) to look up addresses and contact info on just about anyone.
It's only costing $40M (but I can't imagine they're not allowed a little "taking" on the side... think what you could get for all those SS #s on the open market)
A U.S. Forest Service ranger, Liz spent a decade protecting public lands, stopping 100+ wildfires, earning awards—then was fired overnight with no reason. Thousands more purged. Fewer rangers mean more fires, destruction & lost public lands. Listen and share this interview.

If we were to collectively act like MAGA did over the 4 years up to the election, these people would “become aware” that a lot of people around them know who they are and that they are actively contributing to the death of people, destruction of the economy and end of Democracy. Just saying.
So happy to see you post this morning even if it makes me uneasy. I was getting really worried last night as I was reading one of your posts it was being removed and I couldn’t see anymore new activity from you guys. Thank you for all you are doing!
Several things at play. Yes, indoctrinated. Yes, the narcissistic, too. And then there are the fearful (abuse), the ignorant (poor outcomes of education that reverb w/abuse/poverty), the desperate for approval people pleaser. They all respond to a message based on ‘what’s in it for me,’ regardless.
They’ll FAFO when their right to vote is taken away when the Senate votes in the Save act. Anyone who changes their name cannot vote because their last name doesn’t match their birth certificate.
Some of them actively believe that's their place in the world and it's absolutely saddening. That's a lot of abuse/brainwashing to get a human to give up their free will :/
There are women in power currently that ARE serving their people and taking care of their countries. Don't let the flaws of the few, extinguish the hope for many 💕
When they post photos of those parties, celebrating new cabinet members, etc... those women look sad and scary, like aging barbie dolls who "run" charities and keep their hideous husbands happy.
Don’t know about the Russian connection. But usually nicknames like Tiny, Peewee, and Big Balls indicate the owner of said nickname is the complete opposite. So…
Nobody is leading. It's a ffa. A race who will be the stupidest most controversial most useless most destructive. It stopped being about leadership or control . It became about who can profit more anger more people and suck up more to investors . It's like tank without brakes going down a mountain
On top of a minefield. Nobody controls it anymore . But at least it's great distraction for other country leaders to do shady things because no matter what they do it's nothing in comparison
Now, we need ages and addresses. I want to bring back the "mailing dildos" mayhem that we did to the Bundys. Just not to any, if Elon actually has, underage kids on his payroll. They can get pacifiers.
Or maybe we should send them all binkys, since there all a bunch of adult-size babies
Thank you so much for all the information you share. I am working as hard as possible to use it to create deeper awareness of the illegality and danger Trump, Elon, and their loyalists being to the average citizen: https://drive.proton.me/urls/DJHAP0MRWG#D3OoFXER2KDj
I don't understand why this isn't being addressed more. DoGE is an illegitimate agency and Musk is holding an illegitimate, non Senate confirmed position.
It should piss off Congress, but the GOP is owned by TFG and, therefore, Elon. Even USAID wasn't officially an agency until the 90s when Congress made it so. They have no authority, and everything they're doing is illegal. They should all be arrested.
Yes, @altnps.bsky.social it would be good to clarify in this post what DOGE really is. DOGE is not a department and should be called with its real name. It doesn't help that there are two different DOGE too. The service in the executive office and the temporary organization.
This shitshow isn't going to be stopped with misinformation:
The President has the power to restructure existing agencies.
The US Digital Service, an EXISTING AGENCY, has been RESTRUCTURED into DOGE.
Therefore, DOGE IS a real thing.
The real question is whether it's operating lawfully—it's not
Exactly, no misinformation. DOGE isn't a department and thus cannot have authority of one. We have the rebranded U.S. Digital Services (USDS) now U.S. DOGE Service, a technology unit and the U.S. DOGE Service Temporary Organization (USDSTO). But who is the leader of these two offices?
If the POTUS has the power to restructure existing agencies, it begs the question of why two senators are trying to resurrect and rewrite this existing law, which requires the POTUS to get congressional approval to do so.
A screenshot with no indication of a source is not a citation.
Are YOU sure?
And if you’re not, why not focus on the facts that a) USDS -> DOGE doesn’t currently have a Senate-confirmed leader, and b) the admin filed an affidavit stating Musk isn’t its leader, confirmed or not.
What worries me is: who is going to stop them? Let's assume 100 lawsuits come along and each one finds that everything Trumusk has done is illegal/unconstitutional. Trump ignores them, carries on. Is impeached. Carries on. There's no credible enforcement.
TFG can only ignore so much. SCOTUS won't make themselves an obsolete rubber stamp. They have already declined to take up appeals and let lower court orders stand against his actions. Its going to be shitshow, but we can get rid of all of them as long as we don't give up and never comply in advance
There's a few steps you missed. SCOTUS (the GOP members) don't want to make themselves an obsolete rubber stamp with no actual power. They have declined to take up some cases at all already and leaving the lower court rulings intact.
Ok just fact-checking, not a far right plant so no one attack me lol. I read that to get around this, Trump essentially weaponized a pre-existing agency. I’ve read it was the version of the govt IT dept and read it was OPM. Is this true and what are the legal implications if so?
Correct it's not a cabinet level department. It is, as far as I understand the "DOGE Service Temporary Organization" and just called "department" since it sounds cool. Which matches that it needs to be shut down by summer 2026 (max 18 months).
Legitimate or not, they are invading government organizations and taking over without a whole lot of resistance. Did anyone ask for their warrant, or court order, or congressional order or call for the police? Anything?
It's very clear that the president can't reorganize agencies or create them without Congressional approval. TGF doesn't have the authority to do any of this because Congress didn't grant him the authority to do so.
Uh haven’t you figured it out? Rules don’t apply to them. Time to
escape the fantasy that anything you say on line makes a difference. Time to hit the streets. Even in sunny florida
We couldn't get the GOP to convict TFG before of either impeachment, and we certainly don't have the votes now. AOC introduced articles of impeachment already, and they never even made it to a floor vote in the House. It's not an option.
100% I’m not justifying his actions. He renamed an agency bc he couldn’t make a new one that absolutely mutated it into something that wasn’t its original purpose. I’m just saying potentially that’s why no one is straight up going this is illegal, bc it’s a little more gray
Not everyone will have access

Looks like in future it's the the barter system for the hoi polloi
Note the eagle is facing the olive branch on the official seal. In the tacky hood ornament's new version, the eagle faces the arrows in a "who wants a fight" stance.
Until we coalesce as 1 country fighting against Trump/Musk (unions 2gether, representatives outside protesting daily w/their communities,...), we must do something, let's make Feb.28 Economic Blackout real. It's a step toward our commitment to stopping the WhackJobs in gov. https://bsky.app/profile/martie38.bsky.social/post/3lire3n6umk2n
Better off targeting Tesla. ELON borrowed against its value. Deflate it's value $0.00 he'd not only have to payback the Loans but I'm sure Tesla Investors would then sue him for even more $$
For somebody who's "not a DOGE employee" and "not in charge of DOGE," Musk sure sends a lot of micro-managing emails that sound like they're from somebody who's, you know... in charge. I hope the plaintiffs in all the lawsuits are hammering on the meaning of the term "de facto."
Pls give this story light: who is running our gov't?

I’ve been feeling like you. And then I started reading posts here, and I realized we can do hard things. We can change the narrative at any time if we come together. Community can make a difference. 💕
It definitely brings some much needed hope!!! My act of malicious compliance last week was to report an illegal alien (Edolf Muskolini) stealing our ssn’s and bank info to the SSA. Should I add that to my 5 bullet list of things I did last week to HR@opm.gov?
Important to acknowledge our visceral, physical reactions to these abuses. My head pounds when I think or talk about it. This is our bodies saying WTF in the only way they know how.
I acknowledge and respect my body for reminding me that
Trump doesn't ever have to face the voters again. I know some of his supporters are talking about a third term, but they haven't said if that means another election.
I think even if they do wakeup to trump and turn on him, they are still total selfish assholes at the core and don't care about other people as long as they get theirs.
sad so sad - it feels true based on their behavior/vote but what if just conned. Seems SO obvious to us it was a CON - the Big Lie. But to believe 50% of USA or any population - is inherently evil - hard to believe. Now - to believe 1-5% are, not so hard, and that's all it took to win.
The reason they will 'wake up' is only so they can join with others so they can get THEIRS. That is the extent of it. Will they start caring about injustices to minorities and others around them? Doubtful.
This. We cannot appeal to their morality, as they only care about themselves. When we aim messaging at them it has to focus on the classic ‘what’s in it for me’ line. Otherwise, they will not care.
But still, it is very frustrating because Biden was clearly giving the 99 percent waaaay more benefits and opportunity. Why did they still vote trump? Because they hadn't been hurt by him yet? Because they didn't get any personal benefit from Biden? Added to their racism? What?
I don't know, I just see all of them on social media making justifications and doubling down. One person even said "Our President Trump works in mysterious ways"...🙄
I don't know if they will 'find out' soon enough to avert any more real damage. The news about a loyal to trump military is quite frightening, to say the least - and that's happened...
I find it very difficult to put my hope in the very people who made the mess. It will be an essential part of tossing out these clowns in the house, but then what?
If this is happening as much as I think it is, we won’t be having a civil war, we’ll be having a very huge coup against the rich meddling in our government.
It's an ethical and moral duty to terrorize, harass, manhandle, doxx, arrest, and jail these individuals -- they are narciso-psychopath Musk's collaborators.
When you have an evil, nasty, self-serving, wanton, craven, loathsome group of bastards trying to steal all the government’s money for themselves & their billionaire buddies, THIS is what you get: Magat Neofascist Nazis. They should all resign.
We need an open database where everyone can check potential candidates or future partners. Same purpose as “background check”. That people cannot be trusted anymore.
An error: Edward Coristine (aka "Big Balls") is NOT a "graduate of Northeastern University." He's a Freshman, if he's even enrolled for the current term (which I doubt).
They want to cut the fraud and waste but look at number of people at cost of $40M in 1 month whose goal is conducting a coup to destroy our democracy. They will be judged with shame their entire lives as the Nazis were.
Trump is a hood ornament, a ceremonial office holder who is given an ego trip and a permanent ''Get Out of Jail - Free'' card while others within the party actually operate the program of destroying everything that came out of The New Deal and The Great Society.
I agree: 'Get Out of Jail Free" card, 50 weeks paid golfing vacation per year, adoration by the rich & famous, worship by his cult, and financial $$bonuses$$ from corporate PACs in exchange for MAGA votes. Trump, P2025 and Russia all benefitted from this deal.
It's worse than that - they want to destroy the whole thing and make it an honest to god Empire - a Neo=Feudalist Empire with TechLords and a Dictator and what seems to be outright racism which, in the system they seem to be devising means perpetual economic slavery for most people ovens for others
They made a deal with trump: he gets to stay out of jail, gets to golf, gets $$ and gets to look like a king, while they all take over the government and destroy democracy.
But a hood ornament can sometimes look cool. Maybe add an unflattering adjectives like “brassy” and “rickety”? Just a suggestion. I just don’t want to insult a perfectly nice hood ornament.
They are traitors. There is no excuse for aiding and abetting the destruction of our democracy. Remember their names and actions. Remember that they supported a coup. Hold them accountable. Impose severe punishments. Make examples of them to deter others from following the same path.
First, we must defeat the fascist-run GOP majority in Congress and hold a TREASON TRIAL, the likes nobody has ever seen, for these traitors ... including many members of these oath-breaking GOP members.
Absolutely! There are many more in office who should be barred from public service. I am disgusted with the overwhelming majority on both sides. I want to see more than 5 yr sentences and $10k fines at Alderson Federal Prison Camp or equivalents. The death penalty is warranted in some cases.

The President has the power to restructure existing agencies.
The US Digital Service, an EXISTING AGENCY, has been RESTRUCTURED into DOGE.
Therefore, DOGE IS a real thing.
The real question is whether it's operating lawfully—it's not
DOGE's actions are within the scope of what OMB is tasked with
The main issue is that it MIGHT need senate confirmed leadership to be lawful.
The idea that DOGE itself is illegitimate though is silly
If the POTUS has the power to restructure existing agencies, it begs the question of why two senators are trying to resurrect and rewrite this existing law, which requires the POTUS to get congressional approval to do so.
