Members of the #House Oversight Committee sent dozens of requests to federal agencies... about their use of #AI software—& how #ElonMusk could benefit.

"The US District Court for the District of Columbia has issued an injunction commanding #DOGE to comply with citizen requests under the Freedom of Information Act. This #law encompasses the Federal #Privacy Act of 1974, which entitles any citizen to access personal #information held in any US #government records system."

"I’d say it cost us at least a full day’s #productivity, if not more"

"But in an update... #OPM removed wording describing responses as “explicitly voluntary.” The new PIA states, “The consequences for failure to provide the requested #information will vary depending on the particular #email at issue.” #DonaldTrump has also said that federal employees who do not respond could lose their #jobs."

Trump's attempt to clean up after Elon Musk backfires

One question remains: What is the true motivation behind Musk's #DOGE project?

"What #Elon is after... All the LLMs have sucked in all the #data. Now they need more to have an advantage.

... #Government is the biggest trove of #information on the planet...

"why do you rob banks? Because that's where the money is. Why do you rob govt agencies? Because that's where the data is."

DOGE’s credibility is shot.
robertreich.substack.com/p/thi

"DOGE has saved the govt just $2 billion. That comes to 1/35 of 1% of the federal budget.

Repeated #errors have raised questions about the quality & veracity of the #information Musk’s #DOGE is putting out. The mistakes also call into question the team members’ competence — whether they understand the #government well enough to cut it while avoiding catastrophe."

"Elon Musk’s #DOGE team has clashed with civil servants over... #information or systems kept by the #Treasury Dept, #IRS and #SocialSecurity Admn, among other agencies.

Earlier this week, however, DOGE... targeted... perhaps the most sensitive of all"

Continued thread

Earlier this week, however, #DOGE associates targeted what several experts & government officials described as perhaps the most sensitive of all — a system within a broader govt database created to help enforce #ChildSupport payments, which pulls a vast trove of #information, including income data linked to nearly ALL US WORKERS [not just those working for the Federal Govt].

Continued thread

#DOGE has sought access to a powerful database of nearly all US workers’ earnings kept by the #health dept’s #ChildSupport office, setting off another disagreement w/career staff over demands for legally #protected records, acc/to 4 people familiar w/the matter.

Over the last several weeks, #billionaire #ElonMusk’s team has clashed w/ #CivilServants over attempts to #access privileged #information or systems kept by the #Treasury Dept, #IRS & #SocialSecurity, among other agencies.

A quotation from Arendt

The moment we no longer have a free press, anything can happen. What makes it possible for a totalitarian or any other dictatorship to rule is that people are not informed; how can you have an opinion if you are not informed?

The decision was made at a WH meeting on Monday that included Secy of #State #MarcoRubio, VP #JDVance, Secy of #Defense #PeteHegseth, Dir of National #Intelligence #TulsiGabbard & #MiddleEast envoy #SteveWitkoff.

The move follows an order last week by Hegseth for US #Cyber Command to halt offensive cyber & #information operations against #Russia as long as negotiations to end the war are ongoing.
