But in January, the Justice Department acknowledged in court documents that DOGE members had accessed and shared sensitive Social Security data without the awareness of agency officials. Borges’s attorneys were told this year that the Office of Special Counsel would stop reviewing his allegations while the GAO conducts a government-wide review of DOGE’s access to sensitive data. However, the GAO audit does not provide protections to whistleblowers, raising concerns from legal experts that it will be difficult for people with sensitive information to come forward.

No offense to GAO here, but it is an auditor, nor a criminal investigator, which is what is needed. If the administration refuses to co-operate, or launch its own investigation, we will end up without real accountability.

Holy shit - this would be very, very bad:
"The databases, called “Numident” and the “Master Death File,” include records for more than 500 million living and dead Americans, including Social Security numbers, places and dates of birth, citizenship, race and ethnicity, and parents’ names."

C’mon Brian. Don’t be a Pussy. Pete’s watching.

Foghorn Leghorn

Senator John “I don’t get out much” Kennedy

Sen. Coons: The clearest winner from this war in Iran is Russia. It's stunning that Trump is on the phone with Vladimir Putin and spending more time consulting with him than he is with Congress and the American people.

I think about that almost continuously

Deport the entire Trump clan and cabinet to Saudi asap

And thanks for being on blooski

👊 thank you! Excellent testimony

Foghorn Leghorn has thoughts.

KENNEDY: You said, 'Republicans think can troll their way to ethnic cleansing.' Did I read that correctly?

BIER: DHS tweeted for 100m deportations. That would be ethnic cleansing!

K: You don't think it's hyperbolic?

B: I think advocating 100m deportations is ethnic cleansing. Yes. Your time is up

In contrast to the coverup of the EPSTEIN crimes here in America, there are ongoing investigations in the UK, France, Turkey, Poland, Latvia & Lithuania that is sure to expose his central, filthy role in the largest crimes against humanity case in world history. #AccountabilityIsComing

Leaders of both parties should be calling for Witkoff's immediate resignation after these remarks. He is a Russian patsy, a traitor, and this has just gone for too long. It is has to end.

Yeah. My guess: Iran’s itching to shoot cheap weapons at any escorts to deplete our “exquisite” (and exquisitely expensive) weapons

UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE.

In their remarks, neither Pete Hegseth nor Dan Caine this morning addressed the girls school that was bombed.

They did not get A SINGLE QUESTION about it from people they called on in the room loaded with right-wing hacks.

Hegseth’s obvious vicious incompetence was only matched by his telegenic Trump sycophancy. The perfect Cabinet hire.

Not willing to give up on America yet…but this is bad.

This War With Iran Will Cost More Than We Can Afford Iraq cost us $6 trillion. Even a short Iran war could add $1 trillion to a budget deficit that Trump may already be tripling.

The Iranian theocracy’s fury at the US and Israel [has] surely increased 100X. Iran has long been the world’s leader in state-sponsored terrorism.

DHS, created in response to the 9/11 attacks, has diverted its resources away from fighting terror and toward expelling undocumented immigrants.

Keyboard Warrior Markwayne Mullin:

LEFT: Pounding his little warrior chest on the Internet.

RIGHT: Cowering and shitting his pants in real life.

NBC’s Richard Engel: “The White House meme campaign is outraging many former US military commanders… they say only someone who has never really seen combat would think it’s a joke and put out material like this.”

Part of my disgust and disdain for so many people in this country is that that they are so easily duped. All that fuck has to do is call some egregious bill the “SAVE AMERICA” act and the stupids rush to vote against their own interests, while accusing us of not wanting to “save America”.

Murphy: “I think it’s likely the U.S. carried out this attack on this school — I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact that this was one of our 1st targeting decisions, that this mistake was made on the 1st day of war — I think speaks to the incompetence of our leadership”

BUSH: Maybe don’t play golf while Americans are dying in a war.

TRUMP: 7th service member dead, tee time confirmed.

‼️ George W Bush got one thing right: war and golf don’t mix.

She meant cahoots with Netanyahu

I’m hollering at my screen… yaaas!

Actress Sheryl Underwood, an Air Force Reserve veteran, is asking the questions we all want answers to.

“Why is this not impeachable? And where are the politicians that say, ‘this dude don’t have it all the way together, he cannot be the commander in chief?’” 🔥

Let’s thank the idiocy of Donald Trump for helping a hardliner move to top rank in Iran (which makes it worse for Iranians who want freedom), raising gas prices around the world and putting a target on Americans at home and around the world. Great job orange moron!

And while we’re at it, why not a similar pact with Russia over cybersecurity? 🙃
