NEW: DOGE has requested and is being granted “access to all SBA systems,” per an email sent to Small Business Admin employees today. Edward Coristine, a DOGE official, held a call with SBA staff detailing level of access they wanted, including HR, contract and payment systems

Employees were told this access was cleared, but weren’t told by whom, and that access needed to granted in a very short time frame to Coristine and Donald Park, who appears to be an adviser to DOGE

Every single piece of information about a person is on file with the government.

"DOGE official" is a wild way to sanewash Edward "BigBalls" Coristine, a 19yo snot-nosed punk who Elon has apparently deputized to play Judge Dredd in the federal workforce? Report honestly about what's going on or GTFO, man. bsky.app/profile/jswe...
