"I think DOGE is an unelected, unofficial, small group of young tech bros who are charging into different federal agencies getting into their core computer systems...copying and downloading reams of data," says Sen. Chris Coons.

Democrats rallied outside Baltimore’s SS Admin office
demanding Musk keep his hands off of Social Security.

Musk: “We discovered that more than $100 billion of entitlements annually go to individuals with no Social Security Number or even a temporary ID number. ...... at least half of these payments are fraudulent.”

“You’d think that elected Democrats would want to know
who is stealing benefits meant for their constituents.”

Once again, Coons is projecting. That’s just what democrats would do in the same situation since their objective is power and wealth and not the good of the country.

[ifinnegan]

Lol.

[McGavin999]

What’s the problem? China does that on a regular basis.

[silverleaf]

I think Chris Coons let Joe Biden grab, hold, sniff and whisper secrets to his 13 yr old daughter while he stood there smiling

Change my mind

Wait-—WHAT?

Just watched a Brilliant young lady

AI. “DATA REPUBLICAN” seemed legit.
She named Linsey Graham a player

If only DOGE had resurrected and hired Craig Livingston to copy, copy, copy in the basements of the White House / DOGE / DOD / Treasury / IRS / AND, of course, the F B I. Craig Livingston copying all this would make it “okay” with the democRATS, and especially, the Clintons.

From what I understand Musk is using homebrew private AI software that HE developed to do these audits. Do we have any clue what vulnerabilities Musk has given himself in this? There have been absolutely no verbal or written guarantees that his software is indeed secure, stays confined within the government system, and none of that data is sent outside the government system period.

This should have been set in stone right up front. I don’t care how good of a job they are doing this should have been a prerequisite from the get go. NO ONE has a right to copy all that data off to private servers and we really do not know if he is or not. It needs to be made very clear that he will not and is not... We need to know there will be no gates left open...

Good Points All.

I just visited the Web site of

Elon seems to endorse their work and
they prefer ‘X’to exchange ideas.

Do you ‘twitter’?

Coons isn’t projecting,-he’s smokescreening . He knows full well Trump is using the same methods and organization Obama set up during his term to do the same thing. Trump apparently hired some smarter people who actually want to find waste.

Coons is simply parroting the Democrat talking points like the lapdog he is.

[rollo tomasi]

Using time tested algorithms to expose waste, fraud, and abuse has no bearing concerning unelected young tech bros.

My question to Coons is why Congressional oversight operations were not calling for doing the same implementations DOGE is engage in at this time. What is Coons trying to hide. Reason would conclude that Coons must be involved in a lot of grift to get this butthurt about exposing waste, fraud, and abuse.

Already did the domain background on datarepublican my old friend. It is Musk trying to pass it off as a third party site.

His recommendation- “Worth following @DataRepublican.” - Elon Musk is BS...

It belongs to him too. Traced it to his own hosting in South Africa...

Which adds a level of mistrust that he would try to fool folks with misrepresentation that way...

He has done a LOT of that the last few years... People forget far too fast.

[hal ogen]

Hey, nitwit. They were hired by the President. Are you some sort of insurrectionist???

[airborne]

How many people in the Executive branch are elected?

President

Vice President.

Can’t name anyone else.

[wita]

They are from the executive Branch Chris, so just what business is it of your huh?

[dontBSme]

The problem with his statement is in the first 2-words - “I think ...” clearly a task far beyond his capabilities.

[Scrambler Bob]

Reams of data.

Well, a ream is 500 pages.

So some reams = really very, very little data.

[Big Red Badger]

Well that is interesting..

I think Anthony Fauci is an unelected sadistic tyrant inserting his insanity into the lives of all Americans.
