FTA——Labor Dept’s nervous Nellies have filed lawsuits
to keep Elon out before ever stepping foot in the building.

A coalition of labor groups filed suit Wednesday seeking to stop DOGE
from gaining access to some of the world’s most vital macroeconomic data:
<><> an enormous amount of confidential data
<><>includes Bureau of Labor Statistics,
<><>important economic data, including inflation readings
<><> and market-critical employment statistics.

Stuff many people would pay big bucks to get.


This isn’t the first lawsuit against Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency,
but appears to be one of the first filed as a “preventative measure” — not after some major action.

Where did Musk get all the people to go to all of these agencies at the same time?

Now I know Musk hired a half-dozen IQ genius dudes, but where have the other helpers come from?

If the courts prevent access just shut off the electricity.

After the employees flee the building lock it down.

It that is not allowed have a jet blow the building to smithereens...

It is our building and agency—we can do with it as we please.

...seeking to stop DOGE from coming to the Labor Department and gaining access to some of the world's most embellished vital macroeconomic data.

Fixed

All of those salaries and money spent by taxpayers for
fake statistics, manipulated data. It amounts to attempts by an agency to prevent information that would be damaging to a political party and disastrous at elections...aka Election Meddling. A clear Hatch Act violation.

Expose it all. Put the truth out for once and let people decide.

Elon had posted on X asking for people that wanted to be involved to point to their (software) code they’d created on open source forums.

Everything is digital...and Elon has access to state of the art AI that isn’t even available to the public or government. All his team needs is access, the digital front door. Once they’re in, they’ve AI tools ready to dig through everything.

At least, that’s my understanding. I’m a software architect, I use AI every day. It’s hard to keep up with the new capabilities emerging weekly. There’s a world of change in the technology since Trump was last in office. The D’s thought they would be able to just play the same games without realizing what was now possible. These guys can accomplish in minutes what would have taken 1000’s of auditors years, only to scratch the surface.

I don't think they got what it takes to publish the real inflation numbers though. I mean if the true numbers doubled it overnight...

It is patently ridiculous that any of these people can file suit against the president of the United States for looking into the activities of his own government! It's all simply absurd.

I don’t think the public is going to side with the Democrats this time. They see the waste and fraud going on and the D party wants to keep it hidden. This only is going to further erode democrat support.
