Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Title makes it sound like he gave the info to his buddies who wanted it. No, the people working at DOGE had temporary access for carrying out their assigned work.
It is very hard to be anti-Elon when you have to fact check and dig into every anti-Elon story. If you just believe the headlines and talk to any skeptical right-winger, you're gonna look real stupid when Google searches come out
Oh look, someone who has no fucking clue how the US government works, speaking bullshit with authority, and has the gall to be petulant about it.
Fuck off.
Did the people who had "temporary access" have stringent security measures in place such that the access was not misused? No?
Did they ensure that after the "temporary access" none of these people retained any of said information improperly? No again?
Did any of the people pass background checks that normal government employees must pass before being given access to said data? No for a third time?
Is there any reason to trust that they treated the data responsibly other than blind faith? No x4.
Assigned by who? With what oversight?
And if it was for an official government business, I suspect We American citizens will have full access to the report in detail of the data’s use…right? Right? ….guys?
Yes, it's called the Open Records Act, and the Freedom of Information Act.

Last time I filed a FOIA request it took 12 months for someone to respond, way too long. We need limited or at least oversight(ing) to begin ASAP
Absolutely
