Nothing to see here. Move right along. I'm sure one or two or a handful of repeated incidents don't represent a trend or potential for future fuck-ups. What is DOGE even doing now? Can we get some status reports on what the DOGE employees are doing every week since they're such proponents of radical accountability?

Destroying things to justify privatization while stealing every detail about us to increase profits and target opponents. Sure, there are HIPAA, secrecy, and confidentiality violations happening but there's no one left to prosecute the criminals when the criminals are the police, COTUS, SCOTUS, and the unitary executive. The only meaningful distinction remaining is patronage vs. outsider.
