But on Saturday, interior department officials reportedly granted at least two Doge employees the access they had requested, the two people told the Times.

With this access, the Doge employees now have visibility into sensitive employee information, like social security numbers, and are able to more easily hire and fire federal workers, according to the Times, citing the two people with knowledge who spoke with the newspaper on condition of anonymity due to fear of retribution.

I'm getting pushed over the edge with this shit. People have tried to come into my shitty little construction office job before and I didnt know who they were and guess what? They never got in. I had a dude one time trying to get back in to beat someone up in HR. Found out dude had a gun. We called the cops and four of us silently grabbed our own guns from our cars in the meantime. This is for some shitty construction business that nobody really cares life or death for. Where the fuck is this attitude in the government? Why the fuck is everyone gaping their assholes for DOGE's fascists? WHAT THE FUCK!? DO NOT SUBMIT. THIS IS ACTUALLY LIFE OR DEATH FOR MILLIONS

Money. Musk probably just buys people to grant his moron squad access.
