The article frames this like a bad thing but it seems perfectly reasonable. The DOGE is, effectively, a group of auditors. Of course they're going to need to have access to information on the organizations they are auditing. Honestly this comes across as the author reaching for an excuse to make it sound bad because they don't like Trump and/or the DOGE.
- mmooss 2y ago> The DOGE is, effectively, a group of auditors. That's a pretty big leap. What is it based on? The OP article says the new USDS's program seems designed to identify and weed out political opponents.
- Ithildin 2y agoNot realizing the implications of an oligarch who bought his way into the federal government with apparent conflicts of interest is equally reaching and dogmatic. This article asks the right questions. We should be concerned about this and keep a watchful eye on it.

The details matter and the details are that DOGE is structured for maximum access/capability and minimum oversight from congress, other agencies, and the public.
