Employee has links to a deleted social-media account that advocated for racism and eugenics.

The staffer's name is Marko Elez. He had been granted access to the Treasury Department payment system and records.

I've noticed that the left has been making a point to name the names of everyone on DOGE.

It's not like they're encouraging violence or anything against them though /s

The left doesn't have the balls to hurt people on a massive level.

Actually one of the Doge staffers is from Neb and is a really smart and intelligent guy.

I've noticed that the right is granting access to taxpayers money to shadowy figures.

Murder doesn't realize that the treasury department has never been audited. Now that he knows he won't care.

I'm in favor of audits of the Treasury Department and the Pentagon and every other part of the government.

Im a repentant racist. Although Ive pretty much always being against racism, we all unconsciously incorporate common social norms. Thats how normalization works. Ive been full of silly little prejudices I had all my life and have enjoyed spending the last 3 decades trying to weed them out, and most likely still have loads left to discover and reject as I continue my lifelong ambition to develop from Nietzches stupid ape to a somewhat decent human.

They aren't slashing anything. Just trying to and failing miserably.

Funding levels will be set by Congress ... same as every other year.

That's okay. The CR keeping funding afloat lasts for...35 more days.

Early budget time. All of these programs should be clean cuts from the proposal.

I expect plenty more crying during that time. Muh USAID! Muh foreigner! Muh treasury access!

"And by failing miserably...you're putting your faith in your Dem judges to block everything. Lol."

No lol, I'm putting my faith in the fact that all funding decisions, be they increases, reductions, or eliminations, are made by Congress.

There isn't a single fucking thing that Trump or Musk can do to change that.

It's in the Constitution.


"I expect plenty more crying during that time. Muh USAID! Muh foreigner! Muh treasury access!"

Hilarious from dumbasses crying about government spying on Americans.

Let's review, for the ESL kid:

"No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law."

Nothing in this clause binds the Executive from managing their own branch personnel. A broad reading would give wide scope to cut payments, because money denied is not money drawn.

"It's in the Constitution."

Good, then we can start line-item veto'ing anything not expressly enumerated as a function of Congress. That accounts for 100% of USAID spending, and probably over 3/4 of Congressional spending in general.

"government spying on Americans."

Funny....because the access was already there.

"Nothing in this clause binds the Executive from managing their own branch personnel."

Yes it does because ... and I'll say this slowly for the ESL kid ... it's not their own personnel.

Those people don't work for Donald Trump or for the President. They work for the United States.


"Good, then we can start line-item veto'ing anything not expressly enumerated as a function of Congress."

No you can't. I just gave you the fucking link. Here, I'll repost it for you.

"Funny....because the access was already there."

Yes, but they have legitimate reasons for doing so, and they have authorization to do it. "DOGE" is just violating the law.

Lol. Wrong. They are functionaries of the executive branch.

Not Congress.
Not the courts.

The are the means to enact and enforce laws.

"No you can't."

You want to strictly follow the Constitition now, but can't abide by the Enumerated Powers. Only court decisions. Lol

"they have legitimate reasons for doing so"

Audits are valid.

"they have authorization to do it"

DOGE has authorization from the President.

The are not functionaries of the executive branch. They work for institutions established by Congress.


"Audits are valid."

Audits are valid. You don't need the personal information of citizens to conduct them. You also don't need to tamper with the software. And you don't conduct audits with unqualified grifters.


"DOGE has authorization from the President."

That's wonderful. And if the president wants to hire them to go through his personal business records, he has a right to do so. But he doesn't have any authority to use the private information of other citizens as he sees fit.

He's not king.

Thanks.

"private information"

No indication private info is being used. Idiots are using the meme to justify TROs being handed out like candy simply because access is there. Anyone conducting a thorough audit would have admin privileges, this is standard.
