with sensitive data theft. threatening a government employee, and treason.
Rachel Maddow's coverage on Berulis the whistleblower is stunning in DOGE's contempt for the US government and citizens.
Trump let this happen.

Musk talks with Putin just like Krasnov.
Russia got caught hacking into the NLRB, I am betting that Russia has access to all the other agencies Musk hacked into.

They should demand that Musk and his cyber-punks be called to testify before their committees under oath.
Democrats need to fight this before Magats get control of the narrative.

(6,028 posts)In the first days of March, a team of advisers from President Trump's new Department of Government Efficiency initiative arrived at the Southeast Washington, D.C., headquarters of the National Labor Relations Board.
The small, independent federal agency investigates and adjudicates complaints about unfair labor practices. It stores reams of potentially sensitive data, from confidential information about employees who want to form unions to proprietary business information.
The DOGE employees, who are effectively led by White House adviser and billionaire tech CEO Elon Musk, appeared to have their sights set on accessing the NLRB's internal systems. They've said their unit's overall mission is to review agency data for compliance with the new administration's policies and to cut costs and maximize efficiency.
But according to an official whistleblower disclosure shared with Congress and other federal overseers that was obtained by NPR, subsequent interviews with the whistleblower and records of internal communications, technical staff members were alarmed about what DOGE engineers did when they were granted access, particularly when those staffers noticed a spike in data leaving the agency. It's possible that the data included sensitive information on unions, ongoing legal cases and corporate secrets data that four labor law experts tell NPR should almost never leave the NLRB and that has nothing to do with making the government more efficient or cutting spending.

(32,789 posts)When I say I believe the last election was stolen, by hacking the vote tabulators only in the swing states, do not call me a conspiracy theorist.

(64,577 posts)bandwagon, mostly because I don't know the specifics of how a steal happens. But I would not criticize anyone with this belief, and I'm willing to be persuaded or consider there is a high likelihood that it happened.

(32,789 posts)There were voting anomalies in same day voting where Krasnov got surges in votes only in the swing states and not in any other states.
There are concerns that ES&S vote tabulators were compromised, and one other brand of machine that was not spelled out.
