Summary
Despite Elon Musk’s claims of “maximal transparency,” the Trump administration now argues that records from DOGE are exempt from Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests.
A court filing states DOGE, rebranded from the U.S. Digital Service, is a “free-standing component” of the Executive Office of the President and falls under the Presidential Records Act.
Watchdog groups have sued, arguing that DOGE’s activities, which involve sweeping access to federal agencies, must be publicly accessible.
If a Democrat tried this shit the Republicans would be out for political blood calling the left “deep state” and other horrifying shit, let they’re fine with an apartheid loving Nazi immigrant dismantling their government and refusing to answer for his crimes.
And they’d be right. An unelected billionaire gutting the government and hiding their actions is deep state activity
It’s not deep state, it’s a coup.
Deep? Can Musk and DOGE count as deep state with how new they are to government (if you can call DOGE that)? He’s not even from the US, he’s so far out he’s circled back around to deep state.
Then again, foreign actors blatantly controlling the white house seems to be the trend right now
I think deep state here refers to unelected government officials.
I think more its meaning would be shit that goes on behind the scenes where the public cannot see. Aka… things immune to FOIA requests.
I agree 100% this is all horseshit
Don’t worry. The Dems will start calling them out in the same way …anytime now.
The Republicans would happily let fElon and Bronzo take a dump in their mouths if they thought some Democrat had to smell it.
