@georgetakei Like with the last election people treat this as two equal options
"Both sides have their experts"
"Both sides have corrupt politicians"

Seeing what we have seen with the #PresidentialElection2024, the #SecondTrumpAdministration, the #TradeWar2025/ #TrumpTariffs, and #DOGE, people just don't realize that, unlike in the past, there's only one real option and then there's doom. That's beyond comparison, yet they try

Unhinged HUD Easter/Passover e-mail

Early Release for Easter and PassoverHUD Staff,On behalf of Secretary Scott Turner, I’m excited to announce there will be a four-hour early release on Friday, April 18, 2025 in recognition of Easter and Passover this weekend.Secretary Turner encourages our HUD workforce to reflect with family and friends as they break bread and celebrate the gift of freedom.America’s founding fathers proclaimed that all men are endowed by their creator with the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness — this declaration rang true as the Jews fled Egypt and found freedom in the Holy Land, and it rang true once again when Jesus broke bread and drank wine with his disciples showing that sacrifice can truly change the world.We go into this holy weekend with freedoms that the world has never known, and I hope that everyone at HUD takes a moment to recognize what a privilege it is to live in a country that puts her citizens first.Please see the attached Staff Bulletin with important information on time keeping and instructions for early dismissal. Please note, this early release allows employees to end their workday four hours prior to the end of their scheduled tour of duty.Thank you for your service and God Bless,Andrew HughesChief of Staff

It's unclear why #DOGE would need #access to #NLRB files that contain personally identifiable #information to complete its *mission* of improving *efficiency*, outside of employment records for potential reductions in force. The agency publishes publicly available annual performance & accountability reports & budget justifications that former NLRB members told #NPR would likely be sufficient in looking for ways to cut costs.

"The representatives have requested information about agency operations but asked us to remove any personally identifiable information from documents we provide," the email reads. "Consistent with the President's Executive Order & applicable laws, the Agency will comply with #DOGE's requests for access & information."

#DOGE assigned to work at agency where it illegally removed data

The ad hoc Department of Govt Efficiency team is assigning 2 staffers to work at the independent agency where a #whistleblower alleged Tues DOGE may have already removed sensitive #labor #data from its systems.

Just 1 day after #NPR reported on the disclosure filed by whistleblower Daniel #Berulis, DOGE reps visited NLRB’s office in DC for a meeting.

#Whistleblower Blames Musk’s #DOGE Goons for ‘Significant #CybersecurityBreach

Story by Liam Archacki

"In his disclosure, Berulis said he became concerned when he saw peculiar spikes in data leaving the agency after DOGE staffers—who insisted that their actions not be tracked in the system—gained access. He also observed suspicious log-in attempts from an IP address in #Russia using DOGE’s new accounts."

A more detailed write up of the whistleblower account of what happened after DOGE got access to the National Labor Relations Board systems.

A Russian IP tried to use the DOGE credentials, gigabytes of data was exfiltrated to unknown entities, actions to hide DOGE activity, and the whistleblower was threatened. Barely seeing this anywhere in the news, it's insane.

The #GoldCard project is being led from the #DOGE side by #MarkoElez & #EdwardCoristine [aka #BigBalls], who have been working on it since at least last month. Elez & Coristine have met w/ofcls at various agencies that oversee facets of the #visa & #immigrant vetting process to understand which existing processes can be incorporated into their new system.
[Because they’ve been doing such a great job with everything so far 🤦🏼‍♀️ /s]

#Musk’s #DOGE Team Is Building a System to Sell #Trump’s ‘#GoldCard

Members of #ElonMusk’s …task force are building a system for the #UnitedStates to sell special #immigration #visas, which Trump has labeled “gold cards,” for $5 million apiece.

Engineers associated w/DOGE have been working w/employees from the #State Dept, #DHS & #USCIS to create a website & application process for the visas.

President Trump showed off a “gold card,” his idea for a $5 million immigrant visa, on Air Force One earlier this month.
