I was able to bypass the popup and get to the comment form without giving my address by erasing everything after whitehouse.gov/ and adding comment after the slash. It was a guess, but that worked.

Comment forms do request identity, and it can't be submitted without it. I had a sense that the new popup was likely more directly tied into DOGE than the form which pre-existed DOGE. But who knows?
