Considering the people who run DOGE, I wonder if they don't already have all that government information; they just need to jump through all the hoops involved in obtaining it legally so that nobody suspects anything.
lol
Of course they already have it, the premise is, they need to have a forensic chain of custody.
Where do you get 8%? I think the number is much, much higher around 40% or more.
Well, ill say this, every single ssn in the US is already on the dark web multiple times. Its just a matter of time before some one steals your identity, which is why you should have a password manager, a yubikey and a secure email client.
BUT all of a sudden those aholes are worried about our personal information when the SSA knowingly gives out tax refunds to identity thieves, tell us they cant do anything about it AND then says they cant notify the real ssn person. Yeah right. Aholes.
Mistyped. It should say 80%+ unconstitutional portion. The $3+ trillion should have given it away...
DOGE is the vanguard of what I hope is the beginnings of the end of the $3+ trillion, 80%+ unconstitutional portion of the federal gov’t.
We are now way off-topic, but you hit on a key part of what is probably the killer success we’ve seen in the first 3 weeks of Trump 2.0.
Yes, technology makes some things easier. But nothing tops good old fashioned “know your data.”
Electromic spreadsheets are one of the greatest inventions ever (frankly I preferred Lotus 1-2-3 but I lost that battle). But without knowing the data, from where it came, the headers and what they mean, and how to validate the accuracy of the data, you may as well drive a Ferrari down a corn field.
I bet that Trump 2.0 learned his lesson, and armed himself with fundamentalists who understand the basics. The EOs are brilliant, but you get that brilliance ONLY by doing homework.
They probably spent months trying to identify the most caustic govt entity that they could take out with the greatest of ease. Thus, they knew DARN well that USAID was a key bedrock to dismantling Leviathan.
Most of us thought it was the FBI, or DOJ. And I bet they’ll be shown The Bobs soon enough.
But this wasn’t AI. This was American grit and determination.
Whelp, on Dec 31, 2024, the US Treasury database was hacked. All that info, taken. I assumed it was Chinese operatives, but now maybe not.
